Headshots, hmm
Headshots, hmm
Headshots, hmm
Let's Go
Lately I been thru some things
Feels like I been thru a lot
Tryna prepare for a change
Tryna hustle for a dollar
I pop my shit like a collar
I'm tryna build up my knowledge
I'm feeling just like a scholar
I'm the creator, No Tyler
Fuck allat bullshit, these niggas be wilding
I'm in my lane, finna run up the mileage
Keep myself busy, ain't tryna be lazy
Minding my business, them niggas don't phase me
Uh, God looking out for my safety
Headshot for the ones who done played me
Headshot for the ones who fugazy
Headshot for the ones talking crazy
X out the bullshit, I gotta X it out
I'm on the road to better things, I ain't tryna be stressed out
I gotta work on me, I'm tryna run the bag up
They never cared about me, so why would Mavo give a fuck?
They never cared about G, so why would Mavo give a F
I'm cooking up in the Stu, like a chemist. I should be a chef
Gotta practice what u preach, you ain't gotta be a rev
Gotta elevate your mind, it's time to rise and grind yeah aye
What a time, to be twenty five and alive
Thank God for the blessings he gave me, I'm feeling high
I can tell something off like I'm seeing demons in disguises
As I'm getting older and these niggas switch up, I'm not even surprised
But I never complain, really I don't be complaining, I don't do no clout chasing
No need to talk, I'm going off as a Starter, you should know that I'm not playing, fuck is you saying
Everybody talks but their actions ain't looking right, yeah
I wanna move out the state to a better place, I wanna live life, yeah
I been thru the tunnel and caught a vision, I can see the light, yeah
I always been a cool dude, and mostly I play nice, yeah
Cannot give no love to nobody cuz none of them play nice
Gotta rid of the squares if your circle ain't looking right
Lately I been thru some things
Feels like I been thru a lot
Tryna prepare for a change
Tryna hustle for a dollar
I pop my shit like a collar
I'm tryna build up my knowledge
I'm feeling just like a scholar
I'm the creator, No Tyler
Fuck allat bullshit, these niggas be wilding
I'm in my lane, finna run up the mileage
Keep myself busy, ain't tryna be lazy
Minding my business, them niggas don't phase me
Uh, God looking out for my safety
Headshot for the ones who done played me
Headshot for the ones who fugazy
Headshot for the ones talking crazy
I'm going C o d style, I'm going straight for the dome
I'm a starter in the game, better go hard or go home
I got a vision u gotta see, I remember when them hoes was clowning me
Curve the bullet thru niggas domes, they surrounding me
RIP to the ones who done doubted me
Headshots, hmm
Headshots, hmm




Headshots, hmm
Headshots

The true king of action flicks who always delivers, Tom Cruise.

spiral83

except the Mummy.... but we don't talk about that 😂😂

Moje Imja

@spiral83 Mummy would be ok, if not for absolutely stupid screenplay and story itself.

kayakutah

Yeah, everyone did such a good job on this. Tom Cruise was the quarterback, but the entire team performed flawlessly!

Kurt Snyder

Pete Mitchell instructing at TopGun. Cruise teaching at TopGun.

Southernshel

Best movie of the year by far. It only took you Tom Cruise 36 years to get it to the big screen but it was worth it.

Yatsii

How hard it must've been to be the actor, the director and the camera man at that moment. Still, it must've been great to experience.

Kathleen Weinberg

Tom Cruise is a great actor love watching his movies

Bab Vlog

FMD Inc

If will can win an Oscar for whatever role he played, Tom deserves an Oscar for Maverick. It’s time he get his dues
