The Pace

No longer toe the line, I know I gotta go for mine Can't wait any longer, that's the way you know it's time Could never dance with the devil, this feeling so divine Worked all my life for what these niggas sold they soul to find I'm talkin overtime, spent my years under pressure Rappers in question and I feel I'm the one to test em They hear the flow so I know that they studied the lecture I want it all, I could never settle for something lesser With minimum effort, watch me put it together Been in every endeavor, and I weathered the rain Had ties that were severed, hurt from all the pain In the midst of the fire, messed around and caught my flame Started from nothing but these days they know the name I've seen niggas switch sides all for the fame See I ain't trippin cuz I know the game Now they gotta sit back and just watch me take control of things It's a cold world but I'm heatin up Got the game, passed it to my people, we don't really need to rush Stay in your lane, what you need from us They speakin tough, raised the stakes, they ain't know that I can see the bluff You got skill, ain't go be enough Not when a nigga put his soul in it, just roll with it It's no limit on this road, I am so driven Rep the 4 so you know I'm bout to go get it This one them late nights stayin at my mama crib Ain't have the whip yet my niggas pushed the Honda Civ See we was tryna live and prolly just a lil overconfident Thinking back to the problems that it got us in I'm talkin J, Q, Leem, D, Rod and them Back when playing dollar games, was for scraping pocket change Just for us to go and spend on the dollar min This could go without acknowledgement But if I ain't say it man I'm proud of them, I hope they proud of me Thought about my lil bro and how it's places that he gotta see, Swear it felt like hitting the lottery the day I found out that he was bout to be See, I was talkin with my dad sister I was young but the game she gave me I'll forever remember We talked about the world in which you were about to enter How in order for you to win I would have to defend ya Last convo we ever had, you was born weeks later My dad took it worst and I could see in his behavior Know he lost the world, but in you he gained greater Forever thanks to the maker for making you so major Fast forward to the present day Mistakes I made were only there just for me to show a better way And to be honest I'm just glad I got my head on straight Had plans to elevate and make so much cash you couldn't estimate And those plans are still on the slate But now the goal is to educate And now my mind is feeling hella great, see I'm in better shape Not worried bout the time it takes just thinking how to find my pace How to find my pace Tryna make sure that my mama straight
