The Runway
Bazanji Lyrics

I put the team on my back
I carry the weight of my group

I'll do it all for the family
I'm committed to the success of those close to me

Everyone think they could rap
Many believe they can rap well

Nobody ever gon' challenge me
No one is a match for my talent

Started my week on a Sunday
I begin my week with purpose

They think they could make it a one day
Others believe success can be achieved too quickly

I've just been ready to take off
I'm prepared to launch my career

Waiting my turn on The Runway
I'm waiting for my moment to shine

Never be turning around, Never be turning around, ayy
I won't look back on my journey

Never be slowing it down, Never be slowing it down, ayy
I won't let anything hold me back

I keep my foot on the gas, I keep my foot on the gas, ayy
I maintain focus on my goals

I know I'm never gon' crash, I know I'm never gon' crash, ayy
I have confidence in my success

Everyone making excuses
Many people make excuses for their shortcomings

I've been busy making music
I am focused on my passion

They just wanna see me fall off
Some desire to see me fail

Know that I'm never gon' lose it
I never lose confidence in myself

Got addicted to the chase now
I'm hooked on my pursuit of success

People saying that I changed now
Others believe I am no longer the same person

Know that I'm never gon' stand still
I don't plan to remain in one place

I'm treating the game like a race now
I am treating my career like a competition

They really been carefully watching me
Many people are paying close attention to my progress

They treating me like I was calories
They are consuming everything I produce

But really they can't get enough of me
They are intrigued by my talent and work ethic

They treating me like I'm a salary
People are investing in my career

They bringing me up in discussion
My name is a popular topic of conversation

They wondering how do I do it so casually
They are amazed by how effortless I make success look

I celebrate all of my victories
I take pride in my accomplishments

All of a sudden they all gon' be mad at me
Some will react negatively to my success

Damn, I don't have time for concern
I don't have time for negativity

I just go live and I learn
I learn from my experiences

Trust me I've waited my turn
I have been patient for my opportunity

Livin' my dream in return
I am achieving my goals and desires

This isn't given, it's earned
Success must be earned through hard work and dedication

People been listening over the world
My music is popular worldwide

I be making that money while I be asleep
I am earning money even when not actively working

I never ran to the money
I didn't become successful solely for money

But now all the money been to busy running to me
I am now financially successful

I'm not doing this for the money
I am motivated by something other than money

So don't misinterpret my last line
Do not misunderstand my intentions

The weather ain't always been sunny
I have faced obstacles and difficult circumstances

But I know that I'm gonna still shine
I am confident in my ability to succeed

You never gonna make it
Some believe I will not succeed

'Til you got the power to go and develop a strong mind
Success requires mental toughness

'Cause everything happens when you don't expect it
Success comes when you least expect it

The journey ain't given a deadline
Success cannot be rushed

I'm going 'til I got a flat line
I will work until I can no longer carry on

Connecting with people like landline
I am building connections with others

I been blowing up like a landmine
I am becoming increasingly popular

Knowin' the way that they go
I am familiar with how the industry operates

And I'm ready for more, I don't wait on the sideline
I am eager for greater success and will not watch from the sidelines

I'm feeling like 2011
I am experiencing a similar level of success to that of 2011

When Drizzy was dropping them hits like it's headlines
Drake was releasing many popular songs at that time

I don't understand what I can't do
I don't let limitations hold me back

If I cut you off then I had too
If I no longer associate with someone, it was necessary

I'm staying up late like it's fast food
I'm sacrificing sleep to work hard

The life of a rapper who in school
The experiences of a rapper who didn't finish school

I don't want to hear all the people
I don't need unsolicited advice

Who been trying to give me advice
People who try to give me advice without understanding my situation

If you haven't done it before then don't give your opinion
Advice from those without firsthand experience is not valuable
