Lyrics
Confidence is everything, my nigga
All you niggas riding waves
Feel me? Yeah, yeah
I'm taking a fundamental approach when I focus in
Dealing with negative folks won't extend
Any ambition, I had to seek out a mission
I had to sleep in the kitchen when I was hopeless then
Niggas they try to boast, I don't fit in
Rather than try to cope, I wrote with pen
Told me to dumb it down, the dumber you done it
The dummies'll bump it, the money'll come in until you drown
Niggas steady frown but I'm feasting
I don't need a boss or a label to police me
I don't need a foe or a loss to increase me
Did it for a year then I told 'em to release me
That's just the bruises you take when you finally arrive
Scraping my checks, man I had to survive
Suffocating, I suffer waiting, I'm supplicating my income
The shit stung, bottled my pride
Followed my conscience and skipped all the nonsense
No cosign or sponsor, I breathe
Out of my nostrils for every apostle
That's 400 waiting to mock as you bleed
They don't understand and they want to pass judgement
Rather have spam than a stand with substance
Pussy niggas salivating and celebrating
Any celebrity selling 'em any shine 'cause they never had a spine
Me, I got a big mouth, hear me out
In fear I would interfere, they steered to clear me out
Y'all been living in the big house
I'm here now, they burning the slave quarters
I'm turning the page forward
Raised in the projects
The process? Mind-numbing
Niggas is fine coming to the game with a lot less
My guess? They cool with it so I tell 'em "God bless"
Fucking with anybody pretending that's really prolly
The biggest landmine you can find
No trust in a person that you had thought was deserving
It's even worse when you gotta sever ties
Go to the extreme now for someone who seems down
Was sort of the theme now
Show any emotion, any devotion that you hoped to receive
