They say their third eye is open and they see all
But we all know that not anybody can really see all
I see enough to know I'm boutta blow and really be gone
Cos not everything that is good will really last long
That's not a bet and if I tell you I'm better it's not a threat
It's just a fact, put the hours in along with blood and sweat
A couple of tears but I rock it best
In my town it's only lazy people, that's a rotten flex
Been going crazy they can't stop it yet
The monthly book reader, they don't write their hooks either
Got the Bs and Ms and Ws just like an Alpina
Due to the knowledge base
Fifteen of fame equals forgotten face
I'm tryna reach the level where they stop and chase
You can do whatever long as you believe it when you cop your face
In the mirror, body interior should be hittin
If it's not? then that's not how you get it
I'mma circle round the game and I'll be back in a minute, yeah
So stop fucking around and be real to yourself
It might take a little minute, take the time to yourself
It doesn't matter what they tell you if you hearing yourself
Cos the whole point of living's to be proud of yourself
I said stop fucking around and be real to yourself
It might take a little minute, take the time to yourself
It doesn't matter what they tell you if you hearing yourself
Cos the whole point of living's to be proud of yourself
I don't need to trust others I just trust myself
Hurt people hurt people, you just hurt yourself
By not having anything to look out for or to vouch for
Why you tryna go out more? tryna get clout for?
That's the bottom of my list; top of it
Is a lot of shit I try convince myself that I don't need, that's honest
And the reason I'm not stopping drawing attention
Cos the work ethic impressive and it spread without question
Now I'm just tryna get my message cross
Less is more
If it's not working for you, you on method four?
Then try a fifth and check the score
Stomping authority when I step with force
Finna run this game until my leg is sore
Been loading up my mind I let this weapon off
Squeeze it out the pen so hard it bled and all
Lotta days I used to depressed but God
Came to save me now I'm setting off
In expensive cars
But all that matters though is if you're real or false
So bet all on yourself and you be getting far
So stop fucking around and be real to yourself
It might take a little minute, take the time to yourself
It doesn't matter what they tell you if you hearing yourself
Cos the whole point of living's to be proud of yourself
I said stop fucking around and be real to yourself
It might take a little minute, take the time to yourself
It doesn't matter what they tell you if you hearing yourself
Cos the whole point of living's to be proud of yourself
Yeah
