[Intro]
Yeah, uh
[Verse 1]
Ayy, I no longer give a fuck about opinions you can think about me
Half these people that I meet is posing for a piece of clout
Smoking with my speakers loud, realness what I'm breathing out
I'ma reach my peak without leeching and piecing they style
So I don't got no tea for you today, I'm busy riding my wave
Minding my business, running up my digits
'Cause years ago I didn't understand the beauty in the struggle
What you see along the way is meant to help when shit get tough
You gotta ball without the ball, then learn to walk without a crutch
Went through it all standin' tall, I been a one since I was one
Fuck bein' down bad and broke, I'm stayin' down 'til I come up
I don't frown through the clouds, I'm making plans for the son
I know they hate it, the way I turn my pain into a bag
Just gotta make it, so I'ma stay in that and not the past
I put my soul into these raps even if I make it look bad
Keep some progress on my path, on my damn cheeky ass, ayy
[Chorus]
Ayy, I've been working for a long time
I've been working for a long, long time
Dark heart and a strong mind
Took a loss but it's all alright
I ain't waiting, I'ma take mine
No time to waste, I gotta change my life
'Bout it, we could take flight
'Bout it, we could all take flight, yeah
[Verse 2: Innanet James]
You know I live like I can die today or live tomorrow
It's a gamble either way, so roll the dice and play your cards
This was back when I was down, down bad, Dow Jones
I had nothing but my goals, was solo but had hope
Had to get it 'til I got it, when I got it, get some more money faster
Do some more flexing on haters after
I been winning like I'm Glen Abbot, fuck it, check the score
Ain't been at it for a, hmm, I know it, don't let 'em know
When it's all said and done, I'm gon' be up there with the G.O.A.T.'s
In my Greg Lauren, why the fuck I spend this on a coat?
This for days when I could've, but didn't, and probably should've
Shit, I'm never counting sheep on myself in this shit again
I ain't sleeping for a week, and on weekends, I'm rollin' P's
I been at it for a minute, what more could a n***a need?
'Cept for all this shit I dreamed, I need those wants
So roll more blunts, you know that we gon' all go up
[Chorus]
Ayy, I've been working for a long time
I've been working for a long, long time
Dark heart and a strong mind
Took a loss but it's all alright
I ain't waiting, I'ma take mine
No time to waste, I gotta change my life
'Bout it, we could take flight
'Bout it, we could all take flight
[Verse 3]
They say it's alright, it's alright, it's okay
I'm living God, like Kenny, like Drake
Back in my old ways, bringing the city
Bringing the soul back, taking my own route
Thought I was gone, no, I'd never leave
The soil I'm from heavenly
I travel the world, and every night I give my fans everything
I represent the broken dreams, hopeless kids you never seen
My one-of-ones, misunderstood, stay on your grind, it's coming soon
People used to tell me, I wouldn't make it, I was tryin'
They said they always loved me and I hate that they be lyin'
I be quiet in my thoughts so they just take it as I'm fine
I don't mind, who you? Brand new song, YouTube
Collaboration with Caleborate to get us both through
Control the game in our hands like a damn Roku
Ain't gon' talk about it, we gon' show you
[Chorus]
Ayy, I've been working for a long time
I've been working for a long, long time
Dark heart and a strong mind
Took a loss but it's all alright
I ain't waiting, I'ma take mine
No time to waste, I gotta change my life
'Bout it, we could take flight
'Bout it, we could all take flight, yeah
