[ Featuring Black Thought, Benny the Butcher ]
Yeah, yeah
Don't compare me to employees who hopin' they see a check
I'm in a drop top McLaren just hopin' I see an ex
She hopin' we reconnect
No chance
I'm tryna be bigger than the Beatles not hold hands
Keep on throwing stones I'ma make statues
No face tats but people got my face tattooed
Freeing the damned by being free as I am
And speaking belief into people sittin' with reason to stand
Who just might be needing a hand
I got you
9th Wonder blessed provided the gospel
I feel God like
My fans all feel like apostles
Model your mind after mine and you gon' be just find
Model your mind off these other guys and you gon' die
That's why I'm always at the head of the table, follow my lead
I'm a money tree, women tryna swallow my seed
You wasn't with me at my roots though
I've been on a quest for love for women with a Roots 'fro
And potential like a JUCO
After you catch me in the backseat with ass cheeks on my lap we in Utah so we f*ck to a jazz beat
It's actually therapeutic
She classy I'm Ferris Bueller
Swimming out in Turks and Caicos beware of the barracudas
I got heart
I'm the cause my life is just the effect
I'm altering my reality living in VFX
Made a half million dollars then fell asleep on the jet
F*cked the club up, Atlanta ain't seen this since BMF
Told my accountant reinvest
Got a pound of weed for stress
I might drop two platinum albums in a year like DMX
Keep on living in my light
And let my faith just lead the way
'Cause if I'm taking y'alls advice
I'm probably making y'all's mistakes
Instead I'm out in Egypt
Just baskin' in the results
Of listening to myself and mappin' out all my goals, uh
My career is a course in self confidence
And how ownership leads to opulence
Adjust your oculus
If you tryna rise to prominence
Bust down the door assert dominance
When you call your first conference
I'm honest with my women, that's probably why they all hate me
They focused on being Lori, I'm focused on bein Jay Z
The run that I'm on is gonna be longer than the Euphrates
Got a super model chick that's badder than Tom Brady's
Rap game bunch of clowns in disguise like John Gacy
You got one plaque and it's not even your song, I got 80, uh
Lately y'all are lazy
Waitin' to be carried
Lotta y'all are dead you just waitin' to be buried
Listen
I've been hot since Michelle and Barack
You out your mind if you think I'm gon' stop, ha
I didn't come this far to only come this far
I gotta, keep momentum swingin', keep momentum swingin'
I didn't come this far to only come this far
I gotta, keep momentum swingin', keep momentum swingin'
Conversation alone in the mirror (uh-huh)
I told myself before the year up (before this year over)
I'd be another homeowner and another millionaire (facts)
My life crazy, but I'm way too busy to tear up (too busy)
Just please keep them broke vibes from near us (walk away from me)
We different, I'm not the one to converse (uh-huh)
By the time you mumble your verse
I'll be in top five company, comfortably, gunnin' for first (first)
If it's rap or either trap, one gon' come with some perks
The other come with a six foot hole dug in the earth
Look, I know how them numbers lookin', I don't gotta check stats (I don't do that)
The pussy good, but I'll still never text back (nah)
Being unsigned, ain't never changed my potential
With every wave of a pencil, a nigga gained a momentum
Wanna walk in my shoes, but I'm not trading my Christians for Crocs (never)
But lil' rap niggas only cravin' attention
It's funny when you high (funny, uh), but it's ugly when you not
Everybody doubt, then suddenly you pop (pop)
Niggas signin' 360's, and hope it do something for their stock
But I turned on more money than I got, and that's a lot
Had patience and it helped, I remember thinkin', "Make it big"
Then decorate the crib with paintings of myself
'Cause that who I owe (That's who)
You gotta give yourself credit, they definitely won't (they won't give you shit)
You won't hear this flow so often, so treasure these quotes
As far as cheddar, we know enough plugs with bricks
That I'll probably never be broke
I'm used to not gettin' sleep, that's a twenty-four-hour business
Exercisin' my brain, like twenty-four-hour fitness
Haters look at my jewels, get the feel of resentment
Feelin' like I'm 'posed to buy their friendship (what?)
I remember sellin' merch dolo, mailin' my own shipment (dolo)
Now I'm on, y'all hoes thinks it's Christmas, am I the one trippin'? (Me?)
Even if you think you this nice, it's gon' be hard, try to match my ambition
I'm goin' on a rampage, handguns and champagne
House need a damn maid, my watch need a lampshade
Body language, everything, read what my hands say (read what my hands say)
I'll go a little slower if you need me to translate (need me to translate)
Boss moves, keep options, that's how you play it safe
Just sealed the deal for a hundred with a handshake
Weighin' out the racks, a hustler who really made it out with rap
With the jewels in the bank accounts to match
The Butcher
I didn't come this far to only come this far
I gotta, keep momentum swingin', keep momentum swingin'
I didn't come this far to only come this far
I gotta, keep momentum swingin', keep momentum swingin'
Yeah, when I first started recording, I swear it was more important
To make it to Soul Train and a gold chain and some Jordans
Than makin' my own lane and then blaze in the trail forward
But I came from the old days where the vision was too distorted
To come to an understanding, a partnership and plannin'
For your marketin' and brandin', though the office was abandoned
Am I surprised? I'm monetized like more Morgan Stanley
I'm in a position now to make a difference for the family
My wife, kids, and in-laws deserve and rimwalls
Picasso's and Warhol's, the strength of my memoirs
A wealth of knowledge from experiences I've endured
Create the bars, full of information like SIM cards
I left court rooms as a defendant, fully acquitted
In spite of the blood suckers who tried sully my image
And fightin' with motherf*ckers, who tried to tell me I'm finished
As if I'd ever consider the sky above as a limit
When I am the scientific, my honor, I'm dying with 'em
Iconic, gifted, it's rare, it requires a fairly different kind of spirit
Far as inner feelings, I ain't tryna hear it
Bein' fearless, how I'm pioneered to a higher tier
If I am peerless, I guess I am here 'cause ain't nobody near me
On a pyramid and I'm adherent to the game
Fiery, I maintain, momentum and I made a name, clearly
But I can't stop, I believe there's no rest for the wary
From the cards I was dealt, to awards on my shelf
I turn scars to a sense of regard for myself
Based on where I set the bar, I made it hard for myself
I lent the hand before my brothers called for my help
When I was still an inspiring, gun right for the firing
Tryna find a part-time job site that was hirin'
Never concerned with the age or the height
Requirements tryna shake the ways of the hood, like the violence
Watchin' the homies being forced into early retirement
And stuck as another product of their environment
I was told that achievement of goal starts to tryin' at the prize
Keep your eye on it, hard work, rely on it
And nothing else, don't just hustle for your health
Fear they gon' do nothing for you until you secure your health
Focus on the top, I've been hot since before craft rock
You out your mind if you think I'ma stop, yeah
I didn't come this far to only come this far
I gotta, keep momentum swingin', keep momentum swingin'
I didn't come this far to only come this far
I gotta, keep momentum swingin', keep momentum swingin'
