Yo, yo, I told my mom I wanna be like Mike whenever I'm grown
Nowadays, instead of Jordan, it's Corleone
Late nights, my mind be ramblin'
Shit is damaging
Needed that advice that Yoda had gave to Anakin
Letting go of my ego, tryna make these c-notes
I'm deadly with the pen, like Pesci up in Casino
I seen my friends in caskets cause of them ratchets
No slack for being young and tryna make shit happen
I could give a f*ck if they don't like us
They been calling me Poet back since quinces and jamaicas
Talk about competition, it's all fiction They stay folded
Say they don't like me
But when I see all y'all face show it, it's cool
Raw cone to my cranium, tryna sell out stadiums
Thang giving me brain, watchin' old WrestleMania's
From Texas hoe, so come fall through
And I don't gotta lie about where I'm from
Like y'all do, nah, I mean, I said it's Poet hoe
What you know about them nights like this?
Countless times had to write my list
Now when they hear me, make them ball they fist
A motherf*cker like me just don't miss
Got a grip, dawg, now I'm all in
Rolled the dice and pushed in all my chips
Take a risk, later thank my wrist
Remember times it took to get like this
And all my sources credible
You did me wrong, I ain't mad at you
That fall on me, that just the trust that I had in you
Regardless though, its still f*ck em, dawg, that's my attitude
So pardon this and pardon me if I'm sounding rude
Truthfully, it's the only way I know how to move
Underrated, but still the most valuable
Don't think you understand the mistakes or the avenues
I could've went down or been another casual
I'm dedicated cause I can see why they hatin' too
That shit don't phase me, but I can see it's phasing you
I think it's bout time that we phase em out
I think it's time to pivot on the better route
Map out my future before it headed south
Now my name ringing bells like when the class is out
Jogging memories when haters try to run they mouth
Thank you who?
Yeah I think they got it now
What you know about them nights like this?
Countless times had to write my list
Now when they hear me, make them ball they fist
A motherf*cker like me just don't miss
Got a grip, dawg, now I'm all in
Rolled the dice and pushed in all my chips
Take a risk, later thank my wrist
Remember times it took to get like this
