[Intro]
There was a time in my career where I was so frustrated
And so down and didn't believe in myself
And I just had this revelation
I was like, "You know what? I've set a goal, I don't have to believe in myself
I just have to do the steps that I committed to doing
To get me through the valley of the shadow of death"
And that worked for me
I mean, it was a device that worked for me
A-and I feel like occasionally I still have that
I mean, I think a lot of people, you know, like Erica
Talk about how important it is, you know, to believe in yourself
And to believe that your success is inevitable
And that's also very powerful
Um, I just find that my brain is a little more complex
In terms of the things it does to me
You know, I don't know that I'm always in the driver seat

[Chorus]
It came with a gauging of my performance
People with less worth following daily
Just watch how they dial-in
Imagine being too tired to sleep for a few
Verdant with envy
Music is the main focus, I haven't finished business with it
C'est la vie, we out far like Tel Aviv for a few
Set a deadline and missed it off in the view
May joy find us at the end of the path
Entrenched in the jaws of dragons
My raft sits for a few
[Verse]
On the veranda ponderin' why panderers are spared
The city limits vicious, simplicity is key
Complexities be the labyrinth
When I'm upset with my accountant
I'ma have them count the bodies out with an abacus
Bet low they be at that for a few days, kid
Rather beat my meat like a final boss I lose to
I couldn't tell you what number playthrough it is
I'm known for pulling through for a few than be surrounded by meat shields
I'm wanted 'til they need it, that makes us kindred spirits for a few
My Mom inquired about a show and I lied to her
The amount of features with me being sat on
Is exactly why I won't do 'em again
Renew [?] waste for time
My contingencies aren't ad hoc, they serve multipurpose
Opps on the train, details that paint the canvas of my daily
Bullets hit plainly
Reprieve not happening, they get another bullet in daily

[Chorus]
N***a, it came with a gauging of my performance
People with less worth following daily
Just watch how they dial-in
Imagine being too tired to sleep for a few
Verdant with envy
Music is the main focus, I haven't finished business with it
C'est la vie, we out far like Tel Aviv for a few
Set a deadline and I missed it off in the view
May joy find us at the end of the path
Entrenched in the jaws of dragons
My raft sits for a few
