My Own Way

I'm still rappin' for my money
I don't got no boss above me
Run it, I guess that I always done it
(My own way) i've never been a bitch when
It comes to takin' risks
How else could this shit exist? I did it
(My own way) i step back in reflection
That's a solo intervention
I won't hinder my progression, I'm not in
(My own way)
Preposterously dank, we all got lost off bank
I just gotta give me thanks, I did it all
(My own)

I lost a label deal
I could've went and folded my chair
Packed it up and then checked
It off the list, but hold it right there
'cause they got this vision of me sittin'
Crown of gold in my hair
I never threw a tantrum
I just wrote a hundred anthems
Sounds like Bryan Cranston
I could teach you plus I'm cookin' up
I was smilin' at 'em back
When everyone was lookin' tough
I bent the metal before the cookies cut
I became this published author, dad
And rhymer, app designer, look him up
I always came from a different lane
Still a trailblazer
I feel like I'm Dame with a different game
Only well known name who spit in Maine
I used to push the M-O-P at movie theater
Got a little fame my parents screamin'
I was dreamin' of a tour bus
Was makin' beats up in my
Bedroom with the door shut
I did the work, I paid my dues, then I
Joey trimmed my hair but I
Never took a shortcut
I'm not the same as them
And that rewarded him
The things that made me alien
Have made the cash accordion
Banks told 50, 50 told Yay and then
I learned everything I'm not made
Me everything I am

I'm still rappin' for my money
I don't got no boss above me
Run it, I guess that I always done it
(My own way) i've never been a bitch when
It comes to takin' risks
How else could this shit exist? I did it
(My own way) i step back in reflection
That's a solo intervention
I won't hinder my progression, I'm not in
(My own way)
Preposterously dank, we all got lost off bank
I just gotta give me thanks, I did it all
(My own)

I've never put my hands out to get a hand-out
Anything I've done
I took the independent man route
Hustled on the side to gain
Experience and branch out
Never really fit in anything I do
Just stands out
There's no doubt about it, 'cause livin' free
And makin' your own decisions 'bout
Your vision is a narcotic
A byproduct of workin' hard and bein' driven
If you without it
Then how will you really live and see?
Nothing was give to me, if it was
I never asked it for it been in the game for
20+, the knowledge gained, i'm passin' it
I'm passionate, built to go the distance
Got the stamina
This triple threat been gettin' cash
And checks without a manager
Uhn, shout out to Canada
And other foreign lands
Ask anyone who knows me and they'll
Tell you I'm the fuckin' man
Will never show my hand
I never fold but I be callin' bluffs
No tellin' what my future holds
I'm in control and that's enough

I'm still rappin' for my money
I don't got no boss above me
Run it, I guess that I always done it
(My own way) i've never been a bitch when
It comes to takin' risks
How else could this shit exist? I did it
(My own way) i step back in reflection
That's a solo intervention
I won't hinder my progression, I'm not in
(My own way) and somehow, the kids survived
I'll get rich or die on (My own)

I get out of my own way
I get out of my own way
I get out of my own way
I get out of my own way
I get out of my own way this is how I say
I get out of my own way
I get out of my own way
I get out of my own way
This is how I say (Goodbye)
