[00:05.76]Confidence is everything my *****
[00:08.56]All you ****** riding waves
[00:12.22]Feel me?
[00:13.48]Yeah, yeah
[00:15.00]I'm taking the fundamental approach when I focus in
[00:17.84]Dealing with negative folks won't extend
[00:19.83]Any ambition, I had to seek out a mission
[00:21.73]I had to sleep in the kitchen when I was hopeless then
[00:23.80]****** they try to boast I don't fit in
[00:25.63]Rather than try to cope I wrote with pen
[00:27.75]Told me to dumb it down,
[00:28.81]The dumber you done it, the dummies 'll bump it
[00:30.42]And money will come in until you drown
[00:31.83]****** steady frown but I'm feasting
[00:33.35]I don't need a boss or a label to police me
[00:35.30]I don't need a foe or a loss to increase me
[00:37.31]Did it for a year then told them to release me
[00:39.27]That's just the bruises you take when you finally arrive
[00:41.76]Scraping my checks man I had to survive
[00:43.74]Suffocating, I suffered waiting,
[00:45.19]I'm supplicating my income the s**t stung, bottled my pride
[00:47.81]Follow my conscience
[00:48.76]I skipped all the nonsense
[00:49.91]No cosign or sponsor I breathe
[00:51.32]Hot on my nostrils for every apostle
[00:53.18]That's 400 waiting to mock as you bleed
[00:55.31]They don't understand then they wanna pass judgement
[00:57.32]Rather have spam than a stand with substance
[00:59.25]***** ****** salivating
[01:00.51]And celebrating any celebrity
[01:01.75]Selling them any shine cause they never had a spine
[01:03.77]Me I got a big mouth, hear me out
[01:05.76]In fear I would interfere, they steered to clear me out
[01:07.75]Y'all been living in the big house, I'm here now
[01:09.74]They burning the slave quarters
[01:10.90]I'm turning the page forward
[01:11.81]Raised in the projects, the process
[01:13.65]Mind numbing, ****** is fine coming
[01:15.69]To the game with a lot less
[01:16.90]My guess, they cool with it so I tell them god bless
[01:19.89]******* with anybody pretending
[01:21.25]Is really probably the biggest landmine you can find (NO)
[01:23.37]Trusting a person that you had thought
[01:25.46]Was deserving is even worse when you gotta sever ties (GO)
[01:27.71]To the extreme now for someone
[01:29.30]Who seems down was sorta the theme now (SHOW)
[01:31.19]Any emotion any devotion
[01:32.71]That you hoped to receive is a steed
[01:34.37]That you never shoulda rode
[01:35.46]Selling you lies cause they fresh outta truth
[01:37.20]Blaming the tide but that's not no excuse
[01:39.15]How can you follow a wave
[01:40.58]And then try to behave
[01:41.67]Like you didn't look down on it too
[01:43.35]****** will tell you that something is lame,
[01:45.06]Wait for like three years and then do the same
[01:47.24]I just continue in my lane
[01:49.05]While keeping the mindframe of flaming
[01:50.29]You ************* who act obtuse
[01:52.05]All you ****** riding waves (WAVES)
[01:56.69]Look to me to do the same (SAME)
[02:00.79]Y'all too busy counting plays (COUNTIN')
[02:05.12]I'm counting money ***** I'm paid
[02:07.68]And I don't give a **** for anybody but few
[02:09.27]I don't say much until they got in my view
[02:11.30]I don't adhere to any notion of fear
[02:13.28]I'm revered by the folks who really know what I do, so I flew
[02:15.86]To a whole 'nother coast and made the most of the bad hand
[02:18.21]I was dealt until I felt things slip
[02:19.77]Thought I was ready but I was stalling my heart
[02:21.63]Is heavy and fallin apart is petty the hate I caught a bevy
[02:24.02]Let it be said if I shed blood it wasn't in vain,
[02:26.21]Now they want me to tame myself
[02:27.65]****** see the life I portray
[02:29.31]As some sort of a game and for that had to blame myself
[02:31.72]They see it all as so simple deceiving the tempo
[02:34.21]There's nothing to prove
[02:35.29]I just continue with my lane
[02:36.78]While keeping the mindframe of flaming
[02:38.05]You ************* who act obtuse
[02:39.87]All you ****** riding waves (WAVES)
[02:45.13]Look to me to do the same (SAME)
[02:49.13]Y'all too busy counting plays (COUNTIN')
[02:53.02]I'm counting money ***** I'm paid
[02:56.52]
