They say I sound like Gambino man y'all must be deaf
But he's been one of my idols so that's tons of respect
But I want my own lane so imma come correct
And you can bet the house imma fill the spot that he left
I love music cause it fosters a community
Got me acting childish like i acted on community
Good is good bad is bad, equal opportunity
Bout to spill my soul just be patient this is new to me
I'm not stopping till the families at the grammys
To keep it real I don't care if they award me
Don't do this for the accolades, y'all don't need to bolster me
Just tryna prove to my mommmm this the man I'm born to be
And we try to tell the kids listen to the teachers
We have enough rappers, how bout lawyers or some preachers
They grinning' at us like y'all niggas can't reach us
Look at j Cole, he went platinum with no features!
I mean they're right to believe what they believe in
I just hope they do it for the right reasons
Don't be fooled by the jewels and the fame
This a dirty ass game that'll leave your life changed
I'm talking for the worst not better
There's a chance your dreams will come true never
But do it for the love & the love becomes a drug
And watch that drug turn to the greatest gift ever
But while we on the topic tell me how can i pop?
Would i get more streams if a nigga went pop
Could i get more cream if i switched and went rock
Or should i get gritty like a young black rob?
I don't know cause i don't gamble anymore just sure bets
Have you heard my music... that's a sure bet
Man I'm so burnt out
Me and my team will put the work in till it works out
Grinding every mourning, like my name Alonzo
Ballin with my bros, like my name was lonzo
Best believe imma take these songs far
No kweli no mos, but I'm a fucking black star
More emotion than a timestamped drake record
No secrets, every word stays on the record
No time for stylists, I know what my style is
Yall niggas right now, my shit is timeless, A
