[Intro]
You see, what they don't understand is, n***a
The last thing I told my little cousin before he passed away is
I wasn't gon' stop until I did it
So ain't nothin' none of these motherfuckers could do to stop me
N***a, I miss the fuck outta y'all like y'all miss me, n***a
I ain't gon' never leave y'all again, I swear to God

[Verse 1]
I do this shit for more than the revenue
Fuck what they tellin' you, quit, I will never do
Feelin' incredible 'cause when they testin' you
What they don't know, that's just makin' a better you
Making you stronger for all of the shit that's ahead of you
Wait, let me set the mood
N***as like me? I only met a few
I been through Hell and did everything I said I'd ever do
They set me up to fail, hope I undersell
Hope I run and go and tuck my tail
Hope I stop and hide under a rock and never come from under there
Me no takin' L's
This is Connor reportin' from off the shelves
I been waitin' to vic', can you fuckin' tell?
All summer I'm spittin' that murder, n***a
All summer I'm spittin' that Son of Sam
I say I'm the best 'cause I fuckin' am
Me winnin' was not in their fuckin' plans
They were stretchin' my patience, y'all
Felt like I was gon' snap like a rubber band
Just a second to talk to my fuckin' fans
No handouts for me, I'm a fuckin' man
I ain't askin' nobody for shit
I ain't askin' for shit but a fuckin' chance
Poison water runnin' through my hometown
Losin' friends, tryna put 'em on now
I think about it, all this shit is addin' up
And all the while they're tellin' me to slow down
How I ain't go crazy, Lord? I don't know how
Devil tried to keep me down at my lowest hour
It's easy to keep your faith in God when you know His power

[Interlude]
This go out to everybody that's chasing something that's bigger than they self
If you going through some bullshit right now
Where it just seem like everything coming against you
Where it seem like don't nobody want you to win
Where ain't nobody tryna lift you up
Man, just keep your faith, stay strong, keep going
Oww

[Verse 2]
I been through broken promises
Been sold dreams, then n***as did the opposite
All the while, been a optimist
That whatever God got for you, nobody could stop the shit
The industry feelin' like, "Why is this n***a not givin' up?
The more we knockin' him down, the n***a keep gettin' up"
Probably 'cause I told my little cousin that I wasn't gonna quit
Until I did it, fuck no, I ain't givin' up (Yeah)
I'm only human, I'm just skin and bone
Lil' n***a with a dream of gettin' on
Yup, I'm back, made it off of that shelf
That they figured I'd be sittin' on (Yeah)
No matter what, don't let it break you (Yeah)
No matter how long that shit take you (Yeah)
Just know that I appreciate you (Yeah)
And to my true fans, I say, "Thank you"
Thank you
