Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Compete only with self
Generate my own wealth
I don't need nobody else
I do it by myself
Everyday
I'm fresh and clean
It's the king
I always move in stealth
Compete only with self
Generate my own wealth
I don't need nobody else
I do it by myself
Ain't trying
To just get by
I do more
Than just try
Numbers never lie
Nineteen AJI
I always move in stealth
Compete only with self
Generate my own wealth
I don't need nobody else
I do it by myself
I do it by myself
I don't need nobody else
I do it by myself
I always move in stealth
Compete only with self
Generate my own wealth
I don't need nobody else
I do it by myself
You know
This ain't no lie
Nineteen AJI
I always move in stealth
Compete only with self
Generate my own wealth
I don't need nobody else
I do it by myself
It's the king baby
It's the king baby
It's the king baby
Nineteen AJI
I always move in stealth
Compete only with self
Generate my own wealth
I don't need nobody else
I do it by myself
I ain't ask you for
Your help
I do it by myself
