Abstract

I ain't got no time

There's too much that's on my mind

Whole team on my back

Told my family I'll be fine

Hypes been hypnotizing

Pray to God I don't go blind

Lights are mesmerizing

Don't get lost within the shine

Better keep your, your shades on

Better keep your

Better keep your

Your blinders on

Better keep your

Better keep your

Your shades on

Better keep your

Better keep your

Your blinders on

Better keep your

Better keep your

Keep your talking in check

I walked my walk till I walked on the jet

Headed to Europe the come up was set

The team reign supreme

Work too hard not to flex

I make these hits

Then I'm onto the next

Tryna roll like them

Now I roll with the best

Down to cut ties

Unless you wanna cut checks

I ain't got enough time

To entertain your mess

Working, working, working

I deserve it, back in 2011 I was cutting verses

Saw me as an artist

They just saw the person

Now I blur the lines

Like I write in cursive

See the youngin's coming up

Wanna life like mine, last year, two jobs

I wrote rhymes all night

If you down to do the work

Like that you're fine

But you ain't really that

You ain't really 'bout it

Waiting on your come up

Ain't the way about it

No if/ands about it, no excuses made

I came out the town, got no time of day

Now I'm on my way

These days I get paid

Never sacrificed who I am away

Navigated oceans for the poets

While they tryna ride the wave

I put in motion (tell 'em)

I ain't got no time

There's too much that's on my mind

Whole team on my back

Told my family I'll be fine

Hypes been hypnotizing

Pray to God I don't go blind

Lights are mesmerizing

Don't get lost within the shine

Better keep your, your shades on

Better keep your

Better keep your

Your blinders on

Better keep your

Better keep your

Your shades on

Better keep your

Better keep your

Your blinders on

Better keep your

Better keep your

What if Russ gave a nod to Swagy?

What if Tesla called out Edison?

What if it don't matter what I think?

All that matter's what I represent

But I go and get mine

I put it all on the line

This is for all of the times

They never thought I would shine

Put on your shades, (why?)

Without 'em you're blind

I got balance problems

I can't leave my work

Either working

Or I'm working on my work

My girl know I'm stressed

I could use a breath

But she know that

I work better when I'm pressed

Do the numbers

But I'm unimpressed

Never happy I need bigger steps

I need longer flights, I need zero rest

I need ones and zeros

Like the matrix's in my checks

Gauntlet on my neck

Thanos with the flex

Marvel at the level that the team has set

We ain't finished yet

Far from at the top

We ain't slowing down

Came too far to stop

Neverland views over 80mill, facts

Can't say shit to me know I'm good, flex

Still the same kid with a head full of dreams

Still woke but I'm doing what they never could, yeah

I ain't got no time

There's too much that's on my mind

Whole team on my back

Told my family I'll be fine

Hypes been hypnotizing

Pray to God I don't go blind

Lights are mesmerizing

Don't get lost within the shine

Better keep your, your shades on

Better keep your

Better keep your

Your blinders on

Better keep your

Better keep your

Your shades on

Better keep your

Better keep your

Your blinders on
