Part I
Chorus
Yeah, if I did it, then I did it right (Yes), yeah
This ain't happen for me overnight (No), yeah
Bet against me, you gon' pay the price (Woo), yeah
Down to business, I ain't playin' nice (Ayy), yeah
So ahead of y'all, I'm out of sight, yeah
When you poppin', they all want a slice (They want a slice), yeah
Greed and envy, that's a part of life, yeah
Mediocre, that just won't suffice
Verse 1
Better now than ever
Ain't no crackin' under pressure, the boy is clever
If I did it, it was stellar, nobody fresher
Stop complainin', man, my head hurts, these catchy records
Ain't nothin' really (Woo) but a walk in a park for me
Heard the catalog, you know I got some scars on me (You know)
Just gettin' started, you don't really wanna start with me (Start with me)
It's John Q, I would sacrifice the heart in me
For family, high roller
But you wouldn't know it by the way that I rolled up
Career lifespan lookin' good, it ain't slowin'
One after another, man, I just keep goin'
And goin', goin' (Hey)
Chorus
Yeah, if I did it, then I did it right (Yes)
This ain't happen for me overnight (No)
Bet against me, you gon' pay the price (Pay up)
Down to business, I ain't playin' nice (Woo), yeah
So ahead of y'all, I'm out of sight (I'm out of sight), yeah
When you poppin', they all want a slice (They want a slice), yeah
Greed and envy, that's a part of life (Part of life), yeah
Mediocre, that just won't suffice ('Fice)
Verse 2
Keep myself grounded, that's a piece of me that I won't let go
No matter what level I reach, I promise to hold it close
Ain't gotta tell me this hittin' different, man, I already know
How are you claimin' we had a baby? We ain't never spoke
I don't be sleepin' out here with random women on the road
They want a DNA test to prove it, I'm like, "Here you go"
I coulda saved you a bunch of time and told you the results
Lookin' for hush money from me, you ain't gon' get it though
Historic
Rain on my parade, I keep walkin' and ignore it
Just part of the game, yeah, it comes with the territory
It's just another day, man, I'm used to it down pourin', it's nothin'
Chorus
If I did it then I did it right (Yeah), yeah
This ain't happen for me overnight (Yeah, overnight), yeah
Bet against me, you gon' pay the price (Pay up), yeah
Down to business, I ain't playin' nice (Ayy, woo), yeah
So ahead of y'all, I'm out of sight (I'm gone), yeah
When you poppin', they all want a slice (Woo), yeah
Greed and envy, that's a part of life (That's a part of life), yeah
Mediocre, that just won't suffice ('Fice)
Outro
Goin'
I'm goin'
Just won't suffice
Part II
Intro
Do not need no introduction (Ooh)
Style my own, can't no one touch it (Ooh)
Became what they said I couldn't (Ooh)
Mediocre, that won't cut it
Verse
Life is a gift, I
Wanna live it to the fullest while I can, why
Would I not when I know my
Days in this game are numbered?
Might as well enjoy the few years that I do have left
Who knows when I'ma write my last verse, I've
Been to hell and back ever since that first EP came out with "All I
Have" on it, I've been givin' all I have
Wasn't really prepared for the pain, I was
Gonna have to go through to get to the
End result that I knew I wanted
Hoped I would make an impact in rap
Has that been insane? Yes, but it
Was worth it, I can't imagine
If I woulda gave up and just turned my back on this
Music, where would I be now?
Don't know how I woulda made it out from
Underneath that rainy cloud
Had my doubts, yes, but that's how I found my
True purpose, if my surface looks great
Who cares if underneath I'm hurtin'?
If there's one thing I've learned in
My life, it's that life is uncertain
Outro
Getting burned is unavoidable, isn't it?
Ain't a person alive that hasn't been a vic-
tim of being lied to, we're all hypocrites
Giving our two cents but not listenin'
All livin' in our own worlds thinkin' that
We're right when the fact of the matter is, a
Closed mind is the mind of an idiot
Don't believe that's true? Well, open it
