I'm bout to blast off got the cheat code and do it hands on
Rap God turn to beast mode it's how I transform
I trash talk for a moment we'll let the track pause
I rap my ass off something that you can bank on
Y'all wanted proof I show you I'm that ambitious
I always been the truth like I separate fact from fiction
They sayin' that I'm way too impulsive I'm bad for business
But I'm prayin' while I get to that coinage I'm sacrilegious now
This fiscal year my reign of pain is immaculate
Say it crystal clear my claim to fame is catastrophe
Like a pistoleer when I aim a flame see I'm accurate
Make you disappear like I'm David Blaine with a magic trick
And y'all only here for that main course
Feast on this A1 performance I'll hand you the steak sauce
Pen is like guns in my palms you targets I aim for
This the calm before the actual storm when the rain pour go
This is dedication I apply to my skill
I don't need you for inspiration I inspire myself
To evolve I caterpillar to butterfly
Man I'm top five whether it's living or otherwise
With no hesitation I just strive to prevail
I don't seek any motivation never doubted myself
That's the cost nah there's no reason to wonder why
Cause I'm top five whether it's living or otherwise
The boy troublesome shoot from the hip won't ever jump the gun
Learn to hang it up in the end after your run is up
Been hated on by these critics I guess what's done is done
Comes with the titled position like when you're number one
Leave the mic charring emblazoned just like a farmer's hand
Pen flow is sharper than razors inside a barber's hand
Play this in the coup they pull over more than a cardigan
Fire in the booth the flamethrower who wanna spar with him
And I don't listen to none of these new rappers
Too grown to be gettin' in touch with my cool factor
When the street thirst we give em a story like news anchors
And it's me first I clearly ain't worried about who's after
Walk a fine line between entertainment and how we livin
In my prime I'm a veteran credit y'all need to give a win
When it's my time make sure I'm the latest y'all will consider
In the top five and one of the greatest that ever did it yes
This is dedication I apply to my skill
I don't need you for inspiration I inspire myself
To evolve I caterpillar to butterfly
Man I'm top five whether it's livin' or otherwise
With no hesitation I just strive to prevail
I don't seek any motivation never doubted myself
That's the cost nah there's no reason to wonder why
Cause I'm top five whether it's livin' or otherwise
This is dedication I apply to my skill
I don't need you for inspiration I inspire myself
To evolve I caterpillar to butterfly
Man I'm top five whether it's livin' or otherwise
With no hesitation I just strive to prevail
I don't seek any motivation never doubted myself




That's the cost nah there's no reason to wonder why
Cause I'm top five whether it's livin' or otherwise
