Yeah
Stuck to the plan and I kept this shit in motion
Self-preservation over self-promotion, ultra-focus
Still in my element, the boy is golden
Took long enough for some of y'all to notice
Took advantage of the important moments, just to prove that I'm more than a famous poet
Now they call me chief executive owner, wasn't overnight, I had to stay devoted
Been had this vision already on the agenda
Way before I met with niggas that would mix the soda
Back when I had to go to Citi's spot to pick my clothes up
Before Christer and I would work share a sofa, working on music, creating album folders
I just knew that it was far from over, and I'm only getting closer
Even if I could, I wouldn't do it over
Now I got the crown on my head and the city on my shoulders, heavy-duty
Although I hate to sound cliché
I lived the kinda life they gotta write about and make a movie
Build a statue, make a hologram, even curriculums in school would just have to include me
And I'm looking past my opps they just an illusion, out here, causing confusion
I know the motive is to get between me and the music
Yeah
Before tryna capture the wave
They would just slumber away
Now that you finally awake, you should just number your days
This not a drill or a phase, we really running the game

I been
Yeah, yeah
Running this, feel like I been running this shit, nah for real (yeah)
I been running this, feel like I been running this shit, nah
And it ain't been the same

Counting on the money hoping it will make the pain go
But I make umbrellas out of money when it rains though
