One Way or Another

I been ready for a minute now Been some years since I been it it now Barely started I ain't finished nah (People that I been around say "niggas moving different now") I don't think you heard me I been ready for a while now Cant nobody hold me I been balling with no time out I don't just deserve it bitch I earned it, f*ck they talm bout I was kitchen service flipping burgers, then I walked out I been pushing buttons since the morning and it's dark out I left my nine to five to work a job where you don't clock out People getting cropped out, goals is getting knocked down Numbers on the board I'm money hungry like a Rothschild Gotta keep it player I'm my momma and my pops child We ain't have no cable I'm the one they wanna watch now Couldn't find a job I really suffered through the lock down Got my life in order, no more taking orders, I'm a boss now Wonder if you seen me at my lowest would you choose me? Gotta hold me down and lift me up or you gon lose me I'm in too deep in the game girl I'm too deep Nothing moves me anymore I promise you the only way around me is through me I'm a perfect fit there, ima get there One way or, one way or another Only way is up Well so much for opportunity I manifested this that's between you and me Truthfully, I always been doing me My Nanna said go back to school, she couldn't get through to me nah (Nah) Either way she still would root for me Reason I abandon everyone that's of no use to me Hope my judgement day reads as beautifully as your eulogy I'm doing things I wish that you could see It's time to run these bands up And I know it's GOD's plan but it fucked my plans up Lost some niggas by force I lost some people random Had to to get off my ass because of what I stand for Do you not understand what I'm saying? Every single day ima go in Lord forgive me for my sins in the morning I ain't begging for a chance when I f*ck up No ones ever been where I'm going Closed mouths don't get fed so I spoke it to existence I talk to my pad I'm a poet, it was written I speak from the soul you gotta change the way you listen If I hurt you know it wasn't my intentions Wonder if you seen me at my lowest would you choose me? Gotta hold me down and lift me up or you gon lose me I'm in too deep in the game girl I'm too deep Nothing moves me anymore I promise you the only way around me is through me I'm a perfect fit there, ima get there One way or, one way or another Only way is up I been ready for a minute now Been some years since I been in it now Barely started I ain't finished, nah
