Wishing I was there instead of here
Even in the dark, yeah, the picture clear
Only diamonds on my wrist, lower ear
If I touch a couple M’s, I’m a chandelier
They’ll drop fifty G’s on them flooded veneers
Grill like Gates, have ’em sayin’ “Really? Really?”
Damn, that nigha stupid silly
Still these people somehow miss me
I won’t act like everybody else
I can’t do some goofy shit just to sell
Never that
Not me
I’m coming out swingin’ like Tyson or Rocky
Tryna do it different, carve my own lane
Feel me?
Nah, you still not getting me
I ain’t chasing applause, I’m chasing alignment
They clapping for noise, I’m moving in silence
They need a cosign, I needed a reason
Pain been the teacher, I study the seasons
Lost some respect when I stopped explaining
They love you confused, they hate when you dangerous
I don’t move fast, I move when it’s time
Every delay was sharpening mine
They counting my wins like they was involved
But wasn’t around when I handled the loss
I learned how to stand when nobody clapped
Learned how to breathe when my back was attacked
I ain’t for the cameras, angles, or trends
I’m here for the legacy, kids, and the ends
They wanna be loud, I’d rather be right
They want it overnight, I want it for life
Pressure don’t break me, it showed me the form
I came out the storm already informed
I don’t fit in rooms, I build me a table
If they don’t believe it, I make it undeniable
Still wishing I’m there, but patient right here
’Cause when I arrive, it’s gon’ make sense this year
They still not getting me
But they gon’ feel me
Soon as the work start speaking for me
