Cruisin in my own lane Never took the easy route Vibe to myself Only phony people need the clout Before you deserve it Sideways I'm swerving No look, Magic, ooh that's so Earvin Driven by purpose Pottery Persian Mermaid Wizard Merlin Double gold from the merchants Swim up to surface And take a look beneath From here it's so much Different than it seems I believe in my dreams I bleed in the scenes Make sacrifices To obtain a different sheen Everybody got schemes, Me I feel like architect Paint brush marksman Different angle light reflect Mother f*ck my intellect E puts it in motion One moment floatin' Then the next I feel broken At first I tried to patch up All the holes with the potion Caught up on some old shit Didn't know my soul was golden Put things together Go and make that globe shift Yes the kid is grown bitch Step up on your own shit Or else you'll really never own shit, damn Okay, always be honest Rollin round smokin' Through the whole metropolis Even when it's dirty it's gotta stay polished Like pop rocks let's get it poppin aye Up down back up Yo you better back up I'm likely to just laugh Up down back up Yo you better back up I'm likely to just laugh Back up on the map with a little bit of rap Fit it in a pocket, connect with a snap Used to like to drink Til my lights went black I go forward don't go back Back up on the map with a little bit of rap Fit it in a pocket, connect with a snap Used to like to drink Til my lights went black I go forward don't go back
