Cole, but discovery has got me on my toes How could rappers go through so many flows, man I didn't understand until I heard The Never Story by JID I swear he unlocked a new creative path for the kid I look at making beats differently And the bars that formulate inside my mind have got me seeing so vividly So when I turned 14, man, I was scorching I made Freeway, none of y'all enforcing No better tracks to clap back, attack Can't match that, y'all whack I'm past that, in fact I'll lay it down on some wax just to make it official My idols that keep me going gotta keep it all simple 'Cause in my eyes y'all the most high And my goal is to influence the world and be up there with you I'm on fire Look, I can turn an idol to a rival (I can) A non-believer to disciple I could turn these lyrics to a bible if I wanted to And I know you one of me, but I ain't one of you But I'm all ears, so tell me what you gonna do And tell me what you need I leave this bitch up in the dust with Jay Jetta speed You raving 'bout the kid like my name is Ed Reeve I hit you in the head and I bet that you bleed 'Cause we all live to die and we all die to live My hero got dinero just to give it to their kids Your hero turn to zero when they fall to the six You lived a foul life, that's as ugly as it gets With dirt up on your name and with dirt upon your soul My hero’s wear capes everywhere that they go I hope to be the same with the death of my ego Well, I hope to stay sane like the new Steve-O In a Evoke, no hair up on my head, feel like bald eagle Used to have the flow, and now I have the dry fade And hoes seem to go wherever I go But I never let them know, I take the high road Get stoned to fly low like Mac Like T-Sky, I feel like I'm way, way, way back Like D-Wade, I'm Kobe, I'm playing with Shaq The way that my idols can rap I hope that they can hear at least like one of my tracks Eli, idol idolize, but I be inspired Develop idle eyes, locked in on desires The fruits of my labor ripen, recognize when I retire as One of the greatest, nah, the one greatest Got love for artists before me But that throne is for the taking Realize this life is what you make it So I'mma make it all, I'm coming for that spot Whether you leave it or I gotta take it Ain't no disrespect, I don't make the game I'm just tryna play it, ain't no disrespect Y'all remember the hunger, 'cause how else you got where they got you You either eat or you suffer I don't idolize no nigga, we all bleed red I ain't tryna be up there with you I'm tryna be better I'm tryna keep the pressure applied Whether it's dead or alive, niggas gon’ know what it is I'm taking deeper measures Inspired by legends and peers, gave me my mindset Digested, infested for years, made it a contest Processing my predecessors Thru time, edit my mindset to be better than 'em But still respect 'em, my time coming, will be the same thing they is to me Just a nigga with a platform, using my gift to be The greatest Real recognize real Real recognize real Real recognize, real recognize real Real recognize, real recognize real
