[Verse 1: Avelino]
Made this happen, I was the cause
Hand me the baton, hand me the torch
Running the game like it's a sport
But all I got in this world is my word and my balls
Yeah, says Scarface
Yeah
Goodfellas learn the hard way
Never had a godfather or my padres
So I went and got some Margielas for my madre
'Cause it's been graveyard shifts since I put dad in his grave
Made it out of the maze, I'm in amazement
No haram, I go ham when I pray
'Cause there's no real helping hand when handling pain
If, God made man in his image, I'ma create
I'ma be great, mi casa, su casa, Cassius Clay
Rumble in the jungle, I'm from the land of the brave
Souls in the sea, I rolled in the deep, now we're the wave
Yo, Dave man, I still remember conversations
About awards and invalid validations
I got the world in my hands, that's world domination
Man are not pop, we're just popping to the population
And I've got dreams and ambitions, people that listen
Love the fans 'cause all I had was fiends and a kitchen
I'm in Dior, guess I'm preachin' in Christian
My pockets deep but my genes full of riches
Descendants of a king, I got people who depend on me; dependants of a king
My teacher mentioned credit, never said it was a thing
Why you think the mortgage lender isn't lending her a thing?
Yeah, from a real estate to real estate
Made sure I ate with all my n***as before the dinner dates
Yeah, I had so much on my plate
Now I'm eating like a king, had to work like a slave
Imagine if we never imagined this
Imagine if our imaginations couldn't fathom it
Imagine if the butterfly effect was a caterpillar
In the Garden of Eden by the tree where the apple is
I'm way too talented
To still be in the sticks where there's javelins
I'm Olympic, on mount Olympus' peak
At the top it's only us, I'm with my G's
But I ain't gotta be high, there's higher powers than me, it's A-V
I fell asleep and spoke to MJ
And he told me to heal the world, make it a better place
Nuff red jackets in my ends, it's the end days
Why you think I'm rollin' with trendsetters that set pace?
Grew up in a race with the racist
A place where they wanna replace us
I'm patient but then I'm impatient
God's grace has been ever so gracious
Something to savour, I'm the savior 'cause I'm in the Matrix
An alien 'cause I'm in a spaceship, I saw my n***as on slave ships
I remember tellin' Whitney, "You're my queen"
I was selling Bobby, New Edition on my street
Feds were taking pictures, taking pictures of my team
But I saw the bigger picture, the depiction of my dream
It was nightmares where we lost Moe and 'Leng
Had a n***a feelin' outta place at his home address
I'm the first n***a with insomnia who overslept
I paid 70k in taxes, it don't match what I owe to them
Man, it's crazy

[Verse 2: Dave]
Lately I see a lot of men tryna play me
I ain't an escort but it's fuck you, pay me
Déjà vu every time that I get a break, G
I used to visualize my reality in a daydream
Dream to be happy, are you happy with a dream team?
Full of happy n***as, are you happy with your team?
How many men are talented and ended up on the street?
He didn't act on it, now he looks unhappy with his scene
Seen, I mean Happy Halloween
Me and the team branched out from selling leaves
If my life was a film, the title on it's release would have to be, "Just Read This One Incredible Scene"
I ain't had a break since the peddle bike in my teens
So I wouldn't lose sleep if you couldn't sell me a dream
I'm tighter than these guys, it's all lies that they're feeding
The seed of deceit grew the tree in the treason
And no reason for the way that you living, make a decision
I hate mediocrity, last dream I had I saw Socrates
He told me he believes in my philosophy
I just do numbers, I ain't waitin' on the lottery
Nah, the best on the scene
The only thing that follows when you're mentioning me
Man invested in a girl interested
But she ain't invested if she doesn't say, "Invest in your dreams"
Do invest for your queen, I invest for the queen
There's a big fucking difference
When I was 18 I was six-figure n***a trigger happy, I'ma killer
For dinners we ate livers and corn beef
I work in silence, my touch Midas
Yes, colourism real but don't let 'em divide us
We're all blacks tryna run our own race
In our own way feeling pressure from our own race
Struggling to relate
In a black man's eyes, see pride, see pain
See joy, see days of hardship
You wanna be black, but you don't know what dark is
You want our blood, but you don't know what heart is
How could he draw me out if he don't know what art is?
I'm Picasso, diss me and man know
It's kidnap, nothing but red paint when the van goes
I don't make pop art, or so
And these kicks that I wore hold up
I had a tough upbringing, and hard days I saw those
Weight on my chest, only right I've got a tour, so
Be happy for me, I'm happy to see
I happen to be the only one that made it happen for me
As a child I saw loss, now I'm a man in defeat
Outstanding, I stand for something when I stand on the beat
