Intro (feat. DatNiccaTrendz)

Uh, look at my past and you could see it
I started from the bottom, the opposite of conceited
I'm as humble as it gets, I'm just worried about my checks
But even still I'm giving back and it's just my respect
I was raised a little different, probably was never selfish
The older that I grew I told myself to be more selfless
In everything I did, I gave it all I got
Ain't never ask for it but I always made the top
I never quit, I stop, I never drip, I drop
Care less about the newest whip or the newest watch
But if I get the money I'ma eventually cop
Build momentum for my album cause I refuse to flop
I came a long way but still no one near the top
Tryna make my way out but crabs pulling in the pot
Kept me on my knees, see the stains on my jeans
Clouded up my vision, no belief in my dreams, wait a minute
Tryna turn my dreams to reality, I'm doing it all passionately
I'm doing it now actually, I'm working towards what I ask to be
I'ma just do it like Nike, ain't nothing in this life free
Success it come with a fee, I pay attention, don't cost me
It don't cost me to be the best, just work hard and grind more
Success, yes I'm almost there, when I get there I'ma find more
You can keep the fame, I just want the money and the recognition I've been waiting for
Came from the bottom just like you so what the hell all y'all hating for
Why you hate so much, what you hating for
You talk too much, this a lock jaw, keep your mouth shut like a lock door
Had you betting against me, say no more
Balls on my court, let's get to playing, practice too much to lose now
Hit in the head too many times, well guess who the hell's goose now when I'm gone
Niggas be talking so fly, like they be living in the sky
When I be aiming a pistol, I'm shooting it up and I hope that you fall from your high
Niggas get mad when I tell them that I'll be the greatest, I swear in due time
Been at the peak and my body it's old, but I ain't nowhere near reaching my prime
I'm on my grind, my rise is high, I'm the torch and I'm the fire
I did some shit that I cannot deny
But I'm giving my all like I'm ready to die
Niggas was sleeping on me like a Sealy
But niggas ain't know that im really from Philly
Then move up the valley, we're serving them packs
Nigga what you need? I got that
Some packs like I'm Rico, send my dogs on you like Chico
Down for whatever like Day Day, I like the green like the Ese's
Every day seem like Friday, make every day a payday
Love the long night to the long days, I do this shit for my namesake
They ask me how I move in motion
I just show them how I run the track crazy
Now that's one hell of a locomotive
I'm tuned in before YouTube was a thing
Now you gotta be a brave soul to get up in this ring
Take heed to the flavor that we giving
You could choose to hate us now, but that's a bad decision
You gon' have to catch up later and just get in where you fit in
Cause this is the intro, this is the start of the beginning
Intro like Genesis without the cartridge
Anything you hear after this carnage is nowhere near garbage
Collaboration on compilations cause we are artists
That work harder than farmers during the last harvest
Make sure you take note, your next caption could be my quote
I put my craftsmanship in this penmanship when I wrote
I hope you paid attention to everything I spoke
You can keep your two cents cause I ain't trying to leave you broke
I used to grip the pen like pliers, now I write on my phone
Home screen, notepad, then I get in my zone
E&J lift me high, I'm feeling like a drone
This is a journey that we call music, I'm glad y'all came along
