[Verse 1]
I bet my life on it all
That they would go through hell to see me fall
If music is the risk, I risk it all
That they(?) congratulate me and applause
As times goes
[?]
'Cause there is no pain without gain
I did no [?], could not just change me
You know, that I know
That you just do it for the fame
That the reward just ain't the same

[Pre-Chorus]
I done chose my path (yea)
I know that it's meant for me
Relics from the past tryna drain of my energy
Life been moving fast
Trying to hold onto my memories
I got my reward now the risk is in a jeopardy

[Chorus]
Oh, I cannot lose myself to desire
And I didn't work this hard to retire
It's risk and reward
It's risk and reward
It's risk and reward

[Verse 2]
I took a risk to chase my dreams and reward is coming soon
I took a risk to give up sleep and found rewards up in the booth
I took control of my desires, I was way too comfortable
But I ain't here to just survive, I'm just here to plot and move
I been on the job, no benza
Heading for the stars, no anchor
A n***a don't want no hands out
Too busy for the beef, no slander
Gifted with the raps, like [?]
Give it up to [?]
A legend in the making, no phantom
A legend in the making, no phantom

[Pre-Chorus]
I done chose my path (yea)
I know that it's meant for me
Relics from the past tryna drain of my energy
Life been moving fast
Trying to hold onto my memories
I got my reward now the risk is in a jeopardy

[Chorus x2]
Oh, I cannot lose myself to desire
And I didn't work this hard to retire
It's risk and reward
It's risk and reward
It's risk and reward
