I struggle not to compare myself with my peers
I struggle not to question what I've done with my years
Ask myself am I down to take risk it depends
But I ain't risk averse so
Present your case and I'll appraise accordingly
Could be a team full of fiends but if I'm on D they ain't scoring
I buy her Saint Laurent and
Need her designer fix no matter what it Costa
Maple skin tone she sweeter than Tim Hortons look
Barely grown they try brandish me a thief or something
Think I'd be smiling if I'm teething something
I'm tryna believe in something
No lucky attempts cause rarely do I need three at something
We discussing what it's gon' take to be up at round tables
Table manners perfect how I step up to the plate
Don't go try polish what's fake you tryna make shit shine
Impossible for me to be done until I get mine
They like he ain't close to his prime and trust me that boy knows
Only some of my listeners be reading through the lines
In my books but in these bars is where the student lies
Could of swore you was them guys
'Til somebody sharper come burst your bubble
Nowadays they on their Where's Wally shit
The way they look for trouble
Yeah
There comes a time when saying when I'm older
No longer applies because you're older now
How you deal with that reality is life changing
Trust me you can't stop the feeling
Lack of contentment a terminal illness
I'm tryna capture certain feelings that I've felt
In just one moment of time but without the stillness
I need that shit forever
Fuck all that in a later life shit it's now or never
Life perspective stay grounded but trust I'm fly as ever
Have you done them things you convinced yourself you would do
Have you said all of the things in your head you said you would say
But in the heat of the moment found out the cat got your tongue
Now you clawing at the reality of it
Without realising what happened is done
That shit ain't changing ain't no take backs
It's one and done
Just how a player do it
Life done threw some hoops at us
But we made it through it
Guessing games for the ones who ain't certain of nothing
It seems the ones who got it all ain't deserving of nothing
I'm certain of a few things but unsure on a couple
I ain't 'bout to stand here and say things I need you to hear
That's like being at the wheel but needing someone else to steer
The biggest limitations I impose upon myself
How you gon' look in the mirror and hate on yourself that ain't right
I need bills not the outgoing type I'm on
Racks too thick to stack the shelf kinda time 'aye
I'm in a league where you can't even pay admission rates
Anything I put my name to best be commission-based
Can't be the last man standing if you leave the race yeah
