[Intro]
Kerosene dreams, watch me take flight
From concrete blocks to diamond heights
Yeah, yeah, f*ck what they thought I'd be
Now I'm burning bright, can't nobody stop me
[Verse 1]
Started at the bottom where them planes would roar
Pops working graveyard shifts, keeping score
Watching jets slice through clouds, that was pure dope
While we scraped by, barely keeping afloat
Ice tried to freeze me out, that snake-ass fool
But I turned that hate to jet fuel
Every backstab, every industry scheme
Just added octane to my dreams, know what I mean?
[Chorus]
They thought they'd ground me, clip my wings
But I'm too high now, hear the engine sing
From Bijlmer blocks to platinum rings
Burning bridges, doing my own thing
Yeah, I'm flying first class now
While they still wondering how
Turn pressure to power, that's my style
Been strategic since I was a child
[Verse 2]
Intercepted calls exposed the whole game
Ice talking shit, thinking I was his to tame
But I flipped the script, made his words my fuel
Now who's the f*cking master, who's the fool?
Calculated moves like chess on these streets
Converting pain to profit, making history
From southeast side to worldwide flights
They never saw me coming, now I'm touching heights
[Bridge]
Survival ain't pretty, it's jet black smoke
Rising from the ashes of the dreams they broke
But I'm a different breed, yeah, I'm built to soar
Above these fake friends knocking at my door
[Verse 3]
Strategic mind, yeah, that's my weapon
Learning from each lesson, constant progression
They thought the pressure would make me crack
Instead it made diamonds, now I'm never looking back
This ain't just music, it's psychological warfare
Built an empire while they wasn't even aware
From Bijlmer blocks to private jet life
Cut through turbulence like a f*cking knife
[Outro]
Watch me soar now, yeah, I'm in my prime
Converting every setback into climb
This jet fuel burning in my veins
Turned a housing project kid to flames
Yeah, to flames...
