Set the wave
Gotta elevate can't stay the same
Had to run it up and make a play
Look how we've come from where we came
Had to switch it up and find a way
Heard they talking, we don't hear a thang
They could never throw dirt on my name
Different type of cloth, we not the same
I shoot at anything that's in my aim
Ok, I had to get it had to find a way
Heard a lot of people talking
I don't care bout what they cause
They just tryna cool me down
But they could never dim the flame
Had my back against the ropes, still I jabbed at everything
And now I'm back at it
I had to go and readjust I'm breaking bad habits
If I said it then I meant it, ain't no backtracking
I don't seek no validation If it's love where I'm from
That's the perfect confirmation hold on, yeah
I gotta get it I'm gone
Love when I'm proving em wrong
Whoever they saying the greatest
I'll behead em to get me the throne
It's something I wouldn't condone
But something I've never outgrown
When it's looking rocky n they try to stop me
I turn into Sly Stallone, yeah
I had to make a name
My life a roller coaster
Music like my great escape
I had to pave a lane
They say the game need change
Like Mariano Rivera, I came to save the day
Set the wave
Gotta elevate can't stay the same
Had to run it up and make a play
Look how we've come from where we came
Had to switch it up and find a way
Heard they talking, we don't hear a thang
They could never throw dirt on my name
Different type of cloth, we not the same
I shoot at anything that's in my aim
Ok I'm plotting different
Gotta get that top position
A top shotta when I'm spotting out the opposition
A trendsetter only thing I follows intuition
If we comparing compositions ain't no competition, yeah
I just hit em with facts
Used to hate telling people that I wanted to rap
Not because I was ashamed or I was holding it back
But I saw the stank in they faces by the way they react like
What you really do
How you pay rent
I mean you nice and all, but have you seen a pay check
Backhanded compliments from those who lack greater goals
And criticize others lives when they insecure with they own
So I don't care about no rap debates
Time is money and I got tracks to make
So next time they ask me what path I'll take
Tell 'em I rhyme prime time like Jackson State
Set the wave
Gotta elevate can't stay the same
Had to run it up and make a play
Look how we've come from where we came
Had to switch it up and find a way
Heard they talking, we don't hear a thang
They could never throw dirt on my name
Different type of cloth, we not the same
I shoot at anything that's in my aim
