Instrumental
khine htoo & the aces Lyrics

On my first LP
When I released my first album

I shot my shot I invested in me
I took a chance and invested in my own career

Paid for my promotions and my visuals
I spent money on advertising and creating music videos

To make it in the D
To achieve success in the music industry

I was eating 4 for 4s
I had a low budget and ate fast food meals

Before I went 3 for 3
Before I had three successful tracks

3-2-1 then the tracks took off
After releasing my third track, my music gained popularity

A lot of you niggas be rappin' like the Migos
Many other rappers imitate the style of the Migos

Get one little hit and then you fall off
They only have one successful song and then fade away

I'm the type of nigga that could finally blow
I have the potential to become highly successful

I'll piss off your set, but in your hood, I bet my album still gon' takeoff
Even if I make some people angry, my album will still be popular in their neighborhood

Since a youngin, I knew I would see better days
From a young age, I always believed my future would be brighter

I'm tryna eat good every day
I strive to have a prosperous and comfortable life

But I ain't tryna be no slave
I refuse to be controlled or oppressed

I felt that shit in my bones
I deeply resonated with that feeling

A lot of rappers just cappers
Many rappers pretend to be something they are not

Y'all ain't no gangsters, y'all liars
You are not true gangsters, you are simply lying

Y'all say the road to hell is paved with the best intentions
You believe that good intentions can lead to negative outcomes

I'm one of the last Heirs to the throne
I am one of the few remaining successors to greatness

I say that shit without bias
I say it impartially and without favoritism

Because y'all say that in my mentions
Because you constantly mention it to me

Amen
An expression conveying agreement or approval

I'm a man
I am a grown adult

That was giving the gift to speak
I was blessed with the ability to speak and communicate effectively

And I love to teach
I have a passion for sharing knowledge and educating others

I tell the truth and now I hear the OGs saying 'PREACH!'
When I speak honestly, older, wiser individuals respect and support me

My spirit animal is a wolf
I identify with the characteristics of a wolf

But I'm still leading these sheep
Despite my individuality, I guide and influence others

But you know what they say
As the saying goes

That's why I've brought y'all the water
I have provided you with knowledge and insight

Now, I'm tryna figure out how to make all you niggas drink
Now, I am attempting to make all of you understand and absorb the knowledge

Gotta change the way you think
You need to alter your mindset

Educate yourself and pursue that knowledge
Acquire knowledge and actively seek wisdom

And naw, I ain't talking 'bout just going to college
I am not merely referring to obtaining a formal education

Fuck the fame
I do not care about becoming famous

I'm pursuing happiness with no delay
I am actively seeking joy and contentment without hesitation

But there is no way to happiness
Happiness is not found through a specific path

Happiness is the way
Joy and fulfillment come from the journey itself

That's your compass to your purpose
Happiness guides you towards discovering your true calling

God told me that yesterday
God revealed this to me recently

So I can honestly say
Therefore, I can truthfully state

I'm standing in front of you
I am present and addressing you

A better man today
I have improved and grown as an individual

The wisest of men say
The most knowledgeable individuals proclaim

That I ain't the one, you should play with
You should not underestimate or challenge me

Because I never put out a verse, that I am just ok with
I never release a verse that I consider mediocre

I'm a Imperfect perfectionist down to my core
I am a perfectionist, although I recognize my flaws

If you can't match my energy, bitch, don't message me anymore
If you cannot keep up with my enthusiasm, do not contact me again

It's time to settle the score
Now is the moment to resolve our differences

Them weak verses got me bored
I am uninterested in listening to inferior, uninspiring lyrics

Get no play off in my stores
Your music does not receive any attention or airplay in my environment

Quit settling for less
Stop accepting mediocrity

I separate myself from all the rest
I distance myself from average or ordinary individuals

Ho, I'm the best
I am the superior artist

Yea
Indeed

I'm that nigga you shouldn't test
Do not challenge or provoke me

Quit the sleep
Stop being lazy or ignorant

Dive deep
Engage in profound exploration

Get a vest
Protect yourself

If you vexed
If you are angry or annoyed

My verses still gon' have your ass perplexed
My lyrics will continue to leave you confused or bewildered

Like a vegan
Similar to how a vegan avoids consuming animal products

I know you don't want no beef
I am aware that you do not desire conflict or confrontation

So if I pull out a piece
If I brandish a gun

You better put up your two hands up
You should raise both of your hands in surrender

And two fingers
And display the peace sign

By the time I count to 2
Within a short period, likely seconds

If you want some peace
If you desire tranquility

By the time I count to 3
Within a slightly longer period, likely a few seconds

You gon have to meet the beast
You will face the consequences or encounter aggression

Since you weak
As you are feeble or vulnerable

I'm so far from my peak
I have not reached my highest point of success yet

All your homies is some creeps
All of your friends or associates are untrustworthy or suspicious

Soft as marshmallows
You are extremely weak or delicate

All you niggas peeps
All of you guys are simply bystanders or onlookers

With my potential
Considering my talent and capabilities

I could go platinum off a leak
I have the ability to achieve platinum record status even with an unauthorized release

Do a million in a week
I am capable of selling one million units within a week

I'll be a millionaire at least
I will acquire a minimum of one million dollars

Sheesh!
An exclamation expressing astonishment or excitement
