[Intro]
Hey
Yeah
Uh

[Verse 1]
Been sleepin' in these studios and wakin' up at 7, took the train to college
One semester was enough, I told my mom I got a different plan
I know that she was worried, but I kept my promise
Got the coins comin' in once I checked the sonics
Bank accounts emptied out, I had to thug it out
Always had a way to make it work and find another route
If they don't credit me, I'm checkin' out
These raps are just the thoughts I always stress about
My only way to let 'em out
They compare me to Jack, comparе me to Mac
I feel it, but just spare me, it's wack
I bеar my soul on these tracks
I never did it for a bag or a plaque
Just want the mirror man to smile when he stare at me back
It's like 3 a.m. in BK with a spliff
Thinkin' 'bout if this is worth all the risk
Is this as far as we get? (Ayy)
I hope it isn't, 'cause you know I'm tryna get it
Been disguisin' every limit, baby (Ayy)
[Chorus]
I wasn't fine, but I'm always showin' up on time
Put that on mine, ayy
Been through the grind
Since my hands was to the sky, I'll be damned if I don't fly (Ayy)
I wasn't fine, but I'm always showin' up on time
Put that on mine (Ayy)
I'll be damned if I don't fly (Ayy)

[Verse 2]
I made a livin' off of slingin' these words, so there's no limits onto what I deserve
If you play me, then it's not my concern
Larry David, you get kicked to the curb
Need me a ring, even if I have to travel to the middle of Earth
I always been a man of my word
You don't even keep your word to your mans
Probably tweakin' off the Percs and the Xans
All that flakey shit I don't understand
I built a world with some friends and they turned to my fam'
One band, ten bands, fifty bands
Always been a hunnid since before I touched a hundred grand
We ain't crabs in a bucket, we eat some crab from the motherland
Boats on the coast of Positano with my brothers, man
This shit got deep and I'm just thankful y'all along for the ride
Other guys turned to frauds in my eyes
Times were tougher, we ain't changin' the side
Not every angel has to die, some of us still alive, we gotta fly
[Chorus]
I wasn't fine, but I'm always showin' up on time
Put that on mine (Ayy)
Been through the grind
Since my hands was to the sky, I'll be damned if I don't fly (Ayy)
I wasn't fine, but I'm always showin' up on time
Put that on mine (Ayy)
I'll be damned if I don't fly
