[Verse 1:] At the top it's such a clear view See this what blood, sweat and tears do Granted that was all the type of shit that I had to steer through I made music my job what a career move I'm getting cash and I don't make this money just so you can borrow Gotta stay focused on this paper like it's due tomorrow As soon as TF2 comes I should queue to swallow You see I created a lane these niggas soon to follow I really get sleep eyes forever glazed With the future on my mind I hope for better days Moments that I contemplated crime though it never pays I'll never forget the feeling when the lettuce came Y'all in to making songs, I'm in to makin art Speakin from my soul and penetrating hearts See to me it's not a contest, I'm just trying to make a change Without becoming someone different in the process
[Hook: x2] Dreams don't let me down A king they've yet to crown Please don't clear my wings 'Cause my feet never met the ground
[Verse 2:] You niggas can have the crown once I'm done with it But shit if you want it now you can come get it I heard this shit's been passed around but ain't none fitted Niggas want the title but avoid the shit that comes with it Why you throwin shade what's the hate about Mad at me 'cause I'm grinding and tryin to make it out The same place in which we came from it's crazy 'cause In terms of struggle we dealt with the same one Had my ups and downs but excuses never mad one My city lacked the lane till I fucked around and paint one You're welcome nigga As for assistance no one helped the nigga I decided to be myself and fans helped the nigga You can compare me to whoever line them niggas up My life is changing for the better I'm just tryin to readjust Wear a smile through the pain it's just a sign to being tough I be shining this whole time, a diamond in the rough
[Hook: x2] Dreams don't let me down A king they've yet to crown Please don't clear my wings 'Cause my feet never met the ground
