[Verse 1]
Back on my business, earnest
Working nonstop from the summer to the winter time
Trying not to trip now that I can see the finish line
I never really thought of what I do when I would get this time
And now I'm saying this little lot of mine
I'ma let it shine even when it's getting windy in the night
And though it get chilly I know the Holy Ghost is rolling with me Even when I'm in the venue and the people rolling sticky from the blow
Getting gassed up
Look at all these people with they hands up
Look at all these people quoting stanzas
Old hands always told me fame was a cancer
But ooh we trying get it
We ain't eating if we don't
Yeah the game don't change
Lean over, check the flow for a minute
So we try to build a boat
Yeah the game will check your heart
Or you might end up in the morgue if you ain't get it right
Check yourself
Homie, let me ask you what you do it for?
What you in it for attention?
Or you in it for the fans?
Won't you tell me what you stand for?
It's like every single day I meet somebody
And they always say that rapping is they calling
They ain't 'bout that hard work
They ain't making an investment
So they quit if they ain't balling
They ain't in it though
What you know about the costs?
What you know about relationships lost? (huh)
What you know about being broke?
What you know about performing after people seen you choke? (huh)
Everybody trying to fly
But they never stop to think about the way they gone learn
Got to keep a strong relation in the industry
A viper swimming in this quicksand
Let me tell you about it
