Can’t quit looking at me, that’s a tough walk
Are you fellas all ready for the pep talk?
Work smarter, still work harder
I’m locking up the whole gym like I’m Coach Carter
Keep myself underground so y’all can see when I’m peaking
One true version of myself and it’s speaking
Take the shot and they weaken
Fake is every day you think you stand alone or you tweaking
When you just need to breathe in
Then you sow what you reapin
I mix the hesi with the in-n-out, they think that I’m creepin
Man, open your eyes up
And make sure your mouth shut when you talking out your ass
Every game that pass, I revitalize the lessons of past
I just go
And I fall into the blessing of the present
And I’m grateful for the highs and all the lows cause Heaven sent it
And if I ever forget it, I won’t remember where my breath went
I give praise to God above, best believe that I meant it
Now before I was venting, now I’m keeping things scented
Gotta keep my message clean so suits and ties recommend it
And if they don’t, then they probably never will
I’ll do my thing on wax no matter if it’s paying the bills
It ain’t that serious, please put ya guns away
Shots fired unnecessarily when game is at play
Shooting right to the sun, the temperature’s getting high
They had us in the first half, not gonna lie
But you gotta take your shots in the flow of the game
Your shot goin come, just be patient and you’ll catch the flame
See those guys overshooting, they goin mistake you as lame
They forcing, but you flowing, man, these shots ain’t the same
Remember the shots after the chorus, check ya tone
Get your shots up like patron
I take a photoshoot without the phone
No dunks or 3’s, in the mid-range, I think now I’m in my zone
When I shoot my shot, they don’t make a sound
But that’s okay cause y’all got ya trash talk in this morning at the shoot around
Don’t be scared if that girl shoot you down
You still moving, you got so many more shots in your life, so keep shooting
And keep staying true to yourself, oh, that’s the truth man
