Confidence
G. Dot & Born Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Told I would never make it
Gotta fake it till you make it
Sittin on my dreams like a vet in the scene
But I’m just gettin started like a rookie on the team
And I’ve been bumpin that C.R.E.A.M. since it’s my destiny
This what I’m here for
People say they wantin more
Venues backed up all the way to the front doors
Sold out shows but I’ve barely got my flow
Now imagine where I’d be if I was heard in the 210
Always in my album mode I know it’s a long road
Pickin up the speed so I can vibe with my front row
On a killing spree got bars on me
I’ll kill you for a fee I’ll back it up yes indeed
This is just my confidence not a fan of cockiness
What I say it’s with my chest
Not the best but I’ll dust the rest
This just my confidence not a fan of cockiness
My bars are bottomless and I do this subconscious
This is just my confidence not a fan of cockiness
What I say it’s with my chest
Not the best but I’ll dust the rest
This just my confidence not a fan of cockiness
My bars are bottomless and I do this subconscious
This is just a layaway till I drop the album date
Some will it’s best to say that it ain’t too far away
But I stay on the grind cause I’m hungry all the time
Independents how I ride fuck a label can’t abide
Goin off my mind for the millionth fuckin time
Now the fake wanna hide runnin bases gotta slide
Seen you drowned in a lake what’s the story on first take
So it’s fake now I wait high on 4/20 gotta bake
This is just a layaway fuck I’m so high I forgot to say
That you needa vibe with me if you don’t that’s not okay
Atleast just acknowledge me most work ethic you’ll ever see
This shit will pay my rent and I say that with confidence
This is just my confidence not a fan of cockiness
What I say it’s with my chest
Not the best but I’ll dust the rest
This just my confidence not a fan of cockiness
My bars are bottomless and I do this subconscious
This is just my confidence not a fan of cockiness
What I say it’s with my chest
Not the best but I’ll dust the rest




This just my confidence not a fan of cockiness
My bars are bottomless and I do this subconscious
