Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Obstacles I couldn’t count
Anything worth it, is never the easier route
Tell me which is it
The bag or the clout
It’s neither for me
Why I get twice the amount
Good graces I got
Outnumber the missteps
And I’ve had a lot
Multiple choice
My pick of the lot
Don’t get it twisted
My people, I never forgot
(Hook)
Working like it’s what I need to breathe
This ain’t something that I want it’s more like what I need
What you struggle with I do it in my sleep
Hold up
Don’t do maybe's only guarantee's
Yeah
Out the way
I don't need that wishy washy, pick a side and stay
No one looking for you in the crowd, I'm past those days
I'm not lucky, you just don't have what it takes
No one looking for you in the crowd
Things are not the same, I'm at a different level now
(Verse 2)
Too many I couldn’t count
Mistakes and the milestones
What the journey's about
Scuse me
Can’t hear you over the crowd
One more time
If you could do better
Then do it and say it out loud
I been out here on the top
The things that I got, they can’t be bought and that costs a lot
Mastery, patience, respect from the masses
Walking the path is more important than the cash is
(Hook)
Working like it’s what I need to breathe
This ain’t something that I want it’s more like what I need
What you struggle with I do it in my sleep
Hold up
Don’t do maybe's only guarantee's
Yeah
Out the way
I don't need that wishy washy, pick a side and stay
No one looking for you in the crowd, I'm past those days
I'm not lucky, you just don't have what it takes
