[Verse] And this verse is just a method to communicate Stunt on everybody just so you can hate I think I'm the one, I'll show you why then let you debate So direct, shoot it straight If you just heard about me then you're stupid late Get right or get left ho, choose a fate Follow no one I move at my own pace, you can wait Notice how you stop touching bread like you're losing weight One day you will see why I'm truly great I will be on the road till I'm old like Willie Nelson is back 20k for a verse you need some help on a track And I swear I've been all the way to hell and I'm back Without a cosign at all I put myself on the map I was chilling with a girl that I just met Mid conversation got impatient so I asked her can we fuck yet?
Guess that she was upset That was about the time she stormed off, steaming mad She was bad but I just let Her go, why you sweat girls like a fur coat In the summertime? You're a nerd bro Never leave work never furlough Think you're fucking with me? K, sure bro Ready all times say the word though Sippin' drinking merlot, started drinking early Still the same Gerald half killer, half nerdy So by my 20's it will be one hell of a journey Bob Dylan told me don't trust no one over 30 Damn, draped in St. Laurent and Supreme Amount of money that I spend on what I want is obscene All surreal how we live this good off of a dream And I swear I do it all for the team Drunk off of the Hen
Truly feel I'm the coldest alive All I do is work, focus, and strive Split a swisher, roll a fatty I'mma smoke this and drive I'm a threat, now some of you can only hope to survive Grab a glimpse I'm as rare as it gets Forget whoever else you might've thought was apparently next Out here and I'm blessed I come to town and every girl in the city's at my show and all the parents get stressed I'm maneuvering with flair and finesse Working out so I could carry the west I'll prepare for the test and I'm ready after 5 sets Lift the whole bay with my biceps Caution if you try to follow my steps You'll trip and fall get exhausted and collapse
Most of these haters carry germs so I'm cautious giving daps I just can't fuck with everyone my circle stays the same size Enjoy the lifestyle that fame buys After party is at Drai's in Vegas where they have the view Got some girls, grab a few but only bring the baddest through Rappers imitate the style I'm not even mad at you I'm not even throwing shade, I just overshadow you Yeah I'm in my own lane, run my own pace Chasing nobody marathon my own race I do it for the bay area that's home base They try to run next to us but there ain't no space I feel like life just switched to hyperspeed though as of recent The difference between yourself and me is you just decent A garden full of flowers grew its way up through the cement If I ever said I'm never scared just know I really mean it I dreamed about the top I had a vision and I seen it If you know the work comes first than you and I are in agreement And this is a long haul but I work harder than them all So come back in 5 years and we can talk about achievement
[Skit/Outro] [Interviewer]: Let me ask you something. Do you worry about achievement? Does it worry you or do you just do your own thing and say here it is and either accept it or get over it? [Tom Waits]: Well, do I worry about achievement? Well I worry about a lot of things but I don't worry about achievement [Interviewer]: I'll scratch achievement off
