The Scenic Route

Took the Scenic Route I seen the bigger picture Living desperate so I gotta get it quicker Never eating got that syrup in the kitchen On my own nah nobody ever pitched in Took the Scenic Route I seen the bigger picture Living desperate so I gotta get it quicker Never eating got that syrup in the kitchen On my own nah nobody ever pitched in I know I’m made for this I’m tryna find my place in this Underestimated daily how do I escape from this? Take a sip Feel the power that shit brings to me Load the weapon up bear witness my artillery I’m always ready for a war like every single day Test my patience yea I dare you try to take my plate Cut your hand f*ck you all who standing in my way Cuz when I’m gone which one of y’all make sure my daughter straight? Ain’t a nigga alive that know the shit I faced Cuz through it all never lifted up my poker face Balls to the wall always grinding that’s the only way I know I never got the time what you want me to say? I’m on a mission I can’t stop now I gotta give it all I got now Want me to go in half & half now I’m never stopping rather crash now Never stopping rather crash now Took the Scenic Route I seen the bigger picture Living desperate so I gotta get it quicker Never eating got that syrup in the kitchen On my own nah nobody ever pitched in Took the Scenic Route I seen the bigger picture Living desperate so I gotta get it quicker Never eating got that syrup in the kitchen On my own nah nobody ever pitched in I made a promise to myself that I’ll never break Don’t even matter what I lose or how long it takes I really feel like I’m the one so why would I stray? It ain’t gone happen overnight but I’ll find a way I’m tryna bite & claw I cannot fall I try so hard I know there’s niggas watching plotting Tryna find my flaws How much I floss? And what I got Wanna know it all So if I slip up They there to pick up These niggas fucked up They tryna luck up But I’ll never fail Yea a nigga got that iron will To all my niggas Shit ain’t over till you hear that bell My hunger never quitting, never filled But y’all niggas like a buffet line I’m waiting looking at my meal I’m eating niggas like an appetizer for the deal My back pressed on the wall I’m desperate, minds a ticking wheel Don’t be the nigga in my way cuz I will not fail So what’s the scenic route? The scenic route is taking the time to do it right Observing & analyzing Waiting And knowing When you get to where you going It’ll all be worth it
