Yeah
I’ll burn the bridge as we walking across it
Certain s*** I can't unsee after I saw it
I promise
I'll let go of everything I wanted
Once you turn your back on me
I’m painting on a target, I’m
Van Gogh with the way that I brush it off
No use of breathing life in it if love is lost
Look at me surprised like, is something wrong
While I pour the gas, and get to lighting s***
Like f*** it all
Done hearing you out my baby talk is cheap
Experiences with you turned me to somebody
That I never thought I’d be
Let's get to the root of it
I don’t focus on fallen leaves
Gave you my all
Tell me what the f*** you got for me
Arms used to open like the options that you kept
Knew how I was rockin'
You were rockin' on the fence
So I chose for you
Bet you didn’t predict how this would end
Bad terms, good luck
Hope you never love again
Started to back track
Recalled a ton of times I was back stabbed
Thought if you would rob me for some years you’d have a black mask
Where’s the match at
I got something for the both of us
I’ll burn the bridge as we walking across it
Certain s*** I can't unsee after I saw it
I promise
I'll let go of everything I wanted
Once you turn your back on me
I’m painting on a target, I’m
F***ed up, broke down
Doing what I want to
The worst s*** that I ever did was tell you that I love you
21 and broke but you got fantasies of finer things
You need that s*** right away
And f*** it you gon’ find a way
They talk behind my back
But I don't stress
‘Cause they’re behind me for a reason
You love to f*** me up and watch me pick up all the pieces
You love to put me down and pick me up when it’s convenient
I’m tired of it
It’s above me but I’m higher from it
A lot of talks at 3AM
But I ain't tired of us
Plus you hate the fact I always put it in my music
I either lose or I lose it
You look me in my eyes and tell me lies all the time mama
Look in my eyes and says it’s fine but it ain't fine mama
Try and make it right when everything isn’t alright mama
If you won't burn the bridge
Then you gon’ force me to dive from it
I’ll burn the bridge as we walking across it
Certain s*** I can't unsee after I saw it
I promise
I'll let go of everything I wanted
Once you turn your back on me
I’m painting on a target, I’m
I’ll burn the bridge as we walking across it
Certain s*** I can't unsee after I saw it

E
Someone left the door ajar
Now I’m here to stay
Tell me who the f*** gonna face the music
More brick laying
Less screen time
Been cutting back on the daily usage
Long road for the road dogs
But the whip miles from a soap box
Got BKTs on this b****
So everybody getting rolled on
Yeah
Yeah everybody getting rolled on
Checked artist credits on BMI
I’m just too kind to expose y’all
I see your team with the ghosts on
And question if y’all ever wrote songs
All enemies of mine have been studied
Please don’t test me I’m know it all
Got platinum songs in the vault collecting dust
If we talking ‘bout showing up
Then y'all attendance suck
Both feet on the gas pedal
B**** I ain't letting up
Started singing they fell in love
Came a long way from being talentless
Beat anything I was challenged in
Pressure turned me into a precious cut
Flood lights hit a flooded chain
30 city tour in a ton of states
I can't wait till I up the leagues from the minors
And my art come of age
Seen a lot of people plant seeds to the dream
Grow impatient then runaway
I cultivated, irrigated it
Now the growth amazing
I Iove the change
Oh yeah
Been laughed at before
Been ‘lil bro’d now the same ones saying pass me the torch
I ain’t passing y’all s***
Ford Escape, California license plate
What I’m passing y’all in
Take that to the chin
Laid back ‘less it comes to it
Then s*** could get spicy
Ain’t s*** sweet 'cause the light skin
I don’t take s*** lightly
Curve a 10 if she like me but can’t entertain my psyche
No time for a bae
I'm too busy getting hyphee
Two full time jobs
When the f*** does he rest
Never when you on ten
T’d up like titlest, on my friends
I’m in this s*** till the end
I’m Gilmore with the drive
The Fillmore’s on my mind yeah
I’m still sore from the heavy lifting that I’ve had to do
But it’s fine
How many legs I got up on 'em
S*** resembling a whole centipede
Worry one side with the competition
I been residing where the rent is free
I got brothers and I got acquaintances
That’s why nobody is a friend to me
Fam roots deeper than an evergreen
Clear us and them got a separate creed
By any means
I’m a step past seeding
I’m in the cut with the gang gang
Damn y'all can’t stop the bleeding
Them premonitions brought it all to life for me
For years I foreseen it
Stopped asking, had to let it be
'Cause it all happens for a reason
Someone left the door ajar
Now I’m here to stay
Tell me who the f*** gonna face the music
More brick laying
Less screen time
Been cutting back on the daily usage

I’m going off
They’re going off the mapac
All they mistakes they making I made
I coulda taught you that
I gotta watch
I gotta watch my back
They’ll pull you down soon as you reach out
I cannot offer a hand
‘Cause nobody offered a hand to me
Nobody offered no fans to me
Nobody wanted it bad as me
I cut off the team, I manage me
I formulated and planned the dream
At Michigan State dashing T’s
And dotting the I’s
All while getting an Ad degree to polish the mind
Was f***in on 10s
Staying was distracted
If I wasn’t blinded by p**** I been could have tripled the status
Like could you imagine
I had to quit asking
All of them girls in my life were lessons
I love how it happened
Loved how I took all emotional baggage
Out to Los Angeles, slowly unpacked it
Constantly writing and tracking
Made the confusion and loneliness vanish
Still only did for fun at the root of it
‘Cause I would spend money on stupid s***
400 ones at the body shop with the hooligans
Throw it on her watch 'em fall in unison
Smack her ass with my whole savings
In the Lyft back I was checking my balance
A negative sign next to that amount set me back further
I welcome the challenge
Wake up calls came in abundance
My lifestyle stuck on do not disturb
I hit a married woman while her man was locked up
I was doing the worst
Now my ducks in a row
Felt like life had it out for me
I became one with the smoke
I was in the mud sinking
Then my had broke the surface
Once I grabbed what I could
I came out a whole different person now
I’m going off
They’re going off the map
All they mistakes they making I made
I coulda taught you that
I gotta watch
I gotta watch my back
They’ll pull you down soon as you reach out
I cannot offer a hand
Now the new view
Look to the hills
I made it shake
No hand shaking deals
Navigated the unknown with all of the bros
Trusting my gut
It told me don’t second guess it if it feels right
Keep going, you know you’re the one
I shared a room with Teags at the start of the journey
Was brining in 30K
Now I’m a real life six figure n**** on paper
He’s doing the same
I'm only hanging with bosses who know we ain’t promised tomorrow Ain't moving waste
We used to the shade on a hot streak
Success is the key to proving who’s fake
Aye, yeah
Can’t nothing stop the run
I seen a lot of people try hard
But they try long enough
Orthodontist how I’m closing the gap
Doors unlocked opening fast
Done f***in off
Taking this more serious than life now that my
Ducks in a row
Felt like life had it out for me
I became one with the smoke
I was in the mud sinking
Then my had broke the surface

E
Hot streak
Yeah
Alright
They said it couldn’t be done but me moving along
I like proving me right more than proving them wrong
But always end up doing both
Hot like the sun, I’mma catch steam
I could run a whole city off the energy
My ex had to settle for a bum, guess couldn’t find a better me
She woulda had to look for a century
I’m in the mud with the goonies, I’m making it out
Married the game and I’m saying my vows
I’ll never turn on the people who turned me into the man I am now
They said it couldn’t be done, I went from an office to turning a profit
Off dropping a lot, used to only be silence, but now if i drop it
I got a whole flood in the comments
Yeah
Did this off nothing but guidance from me
Get off the wave if you didn’t contribute
Then you cannot ride it for free
She try to persuade me with sexual actions
I’d rather spend time with me
‘Cause I rarely get time to breathe
But I know where you hide the keys
So a n***a might slide like cool runnings
Send me a video of whatcha gon' do for me
Tryna see that on a blackmagic cam that you bought for the vlogs
That cost twenty-two hundred
She see the potential in taking advantage like everyone else does
But I gotta stay focused ‘cause I got some n***as I’m tryna acquire the belt from
Yeah
Hot
And new heights that I’m trying to reach
I’m talking higher than Burj Kalif
I used to work for they money
But lately I feel like the money been working for me
I’ll wait a day or two for the entire deposit to hit
No service fees
I used to make in a month what I earn in a week
Jeez
Yeah
My brain child being raised right
I’m a fit parent
Y’all had the spot for a couple months
F***ed around lost it like miscarriage
All the antics and attention grabbing yield dead and gone
Word to Cliff Harris
Oouu for a ton of reasons
Oh yeah I love to see it
I’m so far away from rolling the credits
Don’t invite h**s to my sessions
Tell me have y’all stopped self sabotaging for praise
I’m loading the question
Opportunities hit you up
But you're too preoccupied to open the message
Universe gave you plenty chances
But yall p**** and you going against it
Hot streak, hot streak
They could be one one, but they not us
Whole team bringing something to the table
Circle set up like a potluck
And it’s not luck, got here ‘cause they got me and I got them
If they ain't in the deal, then it’s no deal
Can’t talk then, we locked in like
Locked in like
Locked in for life
Hot streak
You don’t debate the measurement of the glass
When you lit then it's a full cup
Stock in me must be Español
I’m on a bull run
Everything looking up
Competition wondering what deck I’m pulling from
Where did time take us
Love the vibrations, opps getting violated
This is not a cold world, I been on fire
Tell 'em if they waiting on the fall off
They gon' die waiting
I want everything
I’m too serious
The cash y’all spread in the pics in my Ethereum
Patiently waiting, I’m 50 and em
And since we talking about M's I need 50 of them
I’ve turned skeptics
Into n****s claiming we had some sort of friendship
Belief doesn’t show up until they have reason to benefit
Stay on that side of the fence
Think about what you said
It fueled me to get here so I guess shout out to them
But f*** them forever, I’ll put it into effect
Then put that s*** bed, I’m too far ahead
Too far removed from anything of the sense
Bless
Hot
Go
Hot
Hot streak
Delusion has plagued my mind
They said it couldn’t be done but we moving the chains
I’m mixing quality with quantity
Output impressive
They gotta get used to the name
My foot in the door
Hot streak 2 in the air got 'em shook to the core
Galaxy told me to looked for the beats that he sent me
I told him to look in the morgue
I took a chance
Yall took what what was left
Shot my shot, damn
Yall couldn’t hit the net
Practicing for this very moment
Been wearing out the gym
Y’all know I got teags with me, got strauss with me
Got hush on the mix
Even though it’s been a bumpy road
I know somethings gotta give
Regardless how it all goes down
I’ll love how it ends
On God I told yall I been heating up
You know somethings gotta give
And regardless how it all goes down
I’ll love how it ends
Oh yeah

My reign officially started
I’m working so I never see a drought again
I lost what motivated me for a minute
Through inner turmoil
But I found the list
Haven’t let my soul speak in a second
That sound was missed
The naysayers got to me
Who allowed ‘em in
How was I backtracking and doubting this
Back and forth between I know Imma make it
Or won’t amount to s***
The volume of the voices in my head were as loud as it gets
Was overwhelmed under conditions I put on myself
'Cause I put myself on
Scared of accepting help
Had me accepting hell and a lesser health
Came to conclusion this everything but a fairy tale
Fear of commitment, needed ways outs
Was rarely invested
The lonely drives in the Ford Escape turned to therapy sessions
A lot of breakdowns, my engine light on
Shoulda had the oil changed
Burning out
Submerged in New Amsterdam to avoid the pain
No one to talk it out with
Practicing a code of silence
Men of pride
I wish the guys would be more open minded
Them shades covered my swollen eyelids
And my response to, how you been
All answers that were so recycled, hate how my
Role in the group was set as the strongest shoulder to lean and cry on
They never notice nobody's home 'cause I’d keep a light on
Crazy dreams balanced with 60 hour full time weeks
Had me questioning should I stick around or should I leave
It's getting real
My reign officially started
Was down pouring up daily
Now we pouring up to curated playlist notifications
Stepping stones had led me to rock bottom
But I'm bolder than most
Lows in control were just exposing all the holes in the road
Letting the chips fall, the message I seeked
Now all my chips are on me
I make a mess when I eat
Too many wins to count a loss
Feel like I’m counting cards
Counting up blessings
There’s too many I can’t count 'em all
Too many counting on me for me to ever count me out
Look at the evidence
Out of all the acts, who had the loudest crowd
I’m getting DMs saying I’m changing lives and oddly enough
I haven’t met my expectations
But I’ve already won
Already in somebody’s top 5
The game and I locked eyes
It told me I’m still getting started, I gotta be patient
Don’t worry, I got time
If I try to hurry at stop signs
I’ll end up buried with mom crying
I’m working on scoping the journey, and not leaving scenes
With shells form shots flying
Sacrificing my own body for the greater good of someone else’s mind
Though internal trauma resurfacing
After plenty years of being set aside
Through the IRS taking every dime
From mistakes I made when i was stepping blind
Through my peers announcing engagements
And every time I felt left behind
Through sold out shows in my hometown
That haven’t been processed
'Cause I’m too busy burning boats to show that I’m
Not returning from the conquest
But I’m here now
Here to stay and hear what's to come
I’m here now
Yeah
I’m working so I never see a drought again
I lost what motivated me for a minute
Through inner turmoil
But I found the list
Haven’t let my soul speak in a second
That sound was missed
The naysayers got to me
Who allowed ‘em in

I wish the guys would be more open minded
Them shades covered my swollen eyelids
And my response to, how you been
All answers that were so recycled, hate how my
Role in the group was set as the strongest shoulder to lean and cry on
They never notice nobody's home 'cause I’d keep a light on
Crazy dreams balanced with 60 hour full time weeks
Had me questioning should I stick around or should I leave
It's getting real
My reign officially started
Was down pouring up daily
Now we pouring up to curated playlist notifications
Stepping stones had led me to rock bottom
But I'm bolder than most
Lows in control were just exposing all the holes in the road
Letting the chips fall, the message I seeked
Now all my chips are on me
I make a mess when I eat
Too many wins to count a loss
Feel like I’m counting cards
Counting up blessings
There’s too many I can’t count 'em all
Too many counting on me for me to ever count me out
Look at the evidence
Out of all the acts, who had the loudest crowd
I’m getting DMs saying I’m changing lives and oddly enough
I haven’t met my expectations
But I’ve already won
Already in somebody’s top 5
The game and I locked eyes
It told me I’m still getting started, I gotta be patient
Don’t worry, I got time
If I try to hurry at stop signs
I’ll end up buried with mom crying
I’m working on scoping the journey, and not leaving scenes
With shells form shots flying
Sacrificing my own body for the greater good of someone else’s mind
Though internal trauma resurfacing
After plenty years of being set aside
Through the IRS taking every dime
From mistakes I made when i was stepping blind
Through my peers announcing engagements
And every time I felt left behind
Through sold out shows in my hometown
That haven’t been processed
'Cause I’m too busy burning boats to show that I’m
Not returning from the conquest
But I’m here now
Here to stay and hear what's to come
I’m here now
Yeah
