The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Yeah, woah, woah

I just been feeling like, it's all clickin', ya know?

Hit-Boy

Like it's all working out, and I'm 'bout to work out

Colossal

B.I.G, look

The universe been throwing me all the signs except stop it

Niggas been plotting on me, but here's the plot twist

I can't throw fits no more unless it's profits

Lord, why you keep boxing me in, 'cause I'm God's gift?

I might set my mic back up in the closet, though

Just to give myself that same feeling from '04

When my hunger was more, advice to you and yours

They say it's over for you, that's when you go overboard, okay?

Shit, I didn't take a break, my nigga, I broke

Broke my heart, broke my soul, don't cry for me though

If you don't break nothing down then it's no room to grow

One mental block lead to another, shit it's dominos

Mixtape Sean, but I'm in album mode, ooh

She give me praise, I love her angel face

Ass so fat she could work at TSA (Damn)

I went to school at Cass, Aaliyah went to DSA a mile away

Just letting you know the types of kings and queens my city make

And I probably need a parade

All the soldiers with me, this shit like green beret

So legendary, I'ma probably need a day (June 29th)

Forgot I already got one, be dammed if I'm not one

You talking 'bout the hottest in the city

Most influential rappin' ass niggas and I'm the top one

Me and Em' knocked down doors for y'all that was locked once

I know they may never get me

I still put on for the city like the Lions first round picked me

I ain't been fucking, I been too busy

I got two phones, they both business

I got fake ones tryin' to end me

I got real ones gon' defend me like a fucking co-defendant

I got Don Life on my pendant, I’m conditioned to do the distance

And I just set up the pensions, family set like my intentions

Been balancing trying to keep my company

With the girls who wanna keep me company

You know the ones who claim they over me

But would much rather be under me?

Is confident and been through too much just to be done with me

And you know that shit gets stressful, right?

Shit taxing, the same thing that got Wesley Snipes

And you know how I'm rocking, rocking Elvis Presley white

You know highlight reelin'

All highlights like we sitting on top of museum ceilings

No more resisting

If you ain't on my frequency, you out of tune and not tuned in

To break the unbreakable, escape the unescapable

'Til you push your fucking limits, you don't even know what's capable

Fuck that shit that you believe in, I believe in me

Talkin' on they phones and PC like they off that PCP

Bitch, I spit that Eazy-E, face to face, Smack DVD

I don't got no time for hanging out and all that E-T-C

Just cut the check, C-T-C, Godbody my physique

I can look inside your eyes and know exactly what you mean

Fuck you mean? Energy the first language that I speak

No facade, I belong in the Palace of Versailles with a queen by my side

In this hot girl summer, I'm just trying to find a wife

Visualizing from every island that's on Hawaii

With my team on each side, like ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

With the last laugh like Kawhi

And you know that you that one when you beat all the other odds

I keep one foot planted at home and the other one on a swivel though

Gotta keep 'em both 'cause this shit get way too pivotal

All the work is analog, all the payment digital

When tempers tend to flare up, I'm the one to be cool since preschool

I know which ones that's been rocking with me, dawg, since the prequel

Just be cool, I know your favorite one, dawg, I'm 'bout to drop the sequel

Nigga, this just the preview, Don

Strike to claim it, a strike to claim it

And he got it

Goddammit, yes, that is why I did it

Another five, are you kidding me?

That's right

Who do you think you are? I am!
