I am driven, tunnel vision, keep persistent,
Know thyself, you so gifted, keep on hustlin, you gone get it,
Shifted focus, same mission, never quittin, gotta finish
Ima get it (x3)
I said Ima get it
And you wonder why my team just went from fat to lean,
She wanna fuck me but I think she already fucked the scene
She wanna fuck me but I know she already fucked the scene
I'm taxing you niggas
I throw the facts at you niggas
Wait
Just threw a bag at my nigga
He brought me two back that's my nigga (my nigga)
While you focused on the bitches (bitches)
I be focused on the millions (millions)
Only way that I can get it
I might go and buy a choppa,
So you'll stay up out my business,
Getting tired of these friendships,
And these niggas in they feelings
Better leave that for the next man,
The time I haves something less than,
The fucks I give for a fuck nigga, so I suggest you betta get to steppin,
For I go lethal weapon,
It's time to teach you all a lesson,
You must not have no og,
You must have all fake homies,
Through the dark I tread slowly,
I spark a spliff it shows me,
The way, through the light
The way, through the light
I found my passion,
I am driven, tunnel vision, keep persistent,
Know thyself, you so gifted, keep on hustlin, you gone get it,
Shifted focus, same mission, never quittin, gotta finish
Ima get it (x3)
I said Ima get it
