Yea
Lately I been on cloud nine, tryna figure where my life is heading
Don't know where I'm going but my people, shit I can't forget em
Just got off the phone with my lil brother swear he young and reckless
Tryna tell his ass stay out detention, he can't even help it
I been focusing more on myself but niggas say I'm selfish
I done seen niggas show they true colors, had to accept it
I been goin hard, road to riches, sorry I had to vanish
Maybe if I put you in my shoes then you will understand me
I been going so hard, my respect shit yea I demand it
I do this shit for my family, tryna take em to the grammy's
I done been through so many obstacles shit I had to manage
Did what's best for me nobody else, I had to take advantage
Young nigga I made a way, bout business ain't come to play
I done got my check up I been moving round from state to state
Young nigga I'm poppin, for my young-ins I done paved a way
I am who I say am trust me that I could never change
Gotta watch them niggas when they say they love you
Like how you love me when you wasn't there when I was under
Flexing on the internet, you ain't the same in public
Why you flexing on the net, you ain't the same in public
I know what's coming and I'm ready for it
It's a celebration, we got 1942 let's pour it
I don't need no therapist, in the booth shit my heart be pouring
I might roll up one while I'm recording
Lately I been on cloud nine, tryna figure where my life is heading
Don't know where I'm going but my people, shit I can't forget em
Just got off the phone with my lil brother swear he young and reckless
Tryna tell his ass stay out detention, he can't even help it
I been focusing more on myself but niggas say I'm selfish
I done seen niggas show they true colors, had to accept it
I been goin hard, road to riches, sorry I had to vanish
Maybe if I put you in my shoes then you will understand me
Feel like I been going on a roll, I cannot chase no bitches
All these niggas steady switching, Lord help me cause I don't get it
I can't trust nobody I be quick to judge when some missing
Said that I was crazy, I was right when I realized you did it
I ain't playing no games, shawty say I'm hot like propane
All these niggas ain't exactly what you think, I ain't saying no names
I be ballin like Lebron James
Real niggas only I don't hang with lames
Told that bitch yea I'm one of one I ain't the same
All I ever wanted was to show myself that I can do it
And I don't need nobody else just for approval
I'm a always stay myself but don't you get it twisted
Disrespect me nigga promise to God we gone do you
Yea, nigga don't let this shit confuse you
She been fucking with them lames, I'm some she ain't really used to
Told her this some she ain't used to
Yea
Lately I been on cloud nine, tryna figure where my life is heading
