Feel the nervous twitches shooting down my fingers
Palms sweaty glimmer, shaking nervous like religious sinners (let us pray)
Vision narrows, tunnels thinner, all the lights dimmer
Time to face the music, and I'm 'bout to go, Hans Zimmer (arrh)
Workin' on my craft, late-blooming prodigy
Whole lotta syllables, got that Kweli quality
Emcees misconceive, flex, and call it modesty
You can chase the fame, I don't fuck with false idolatry (keep it)
Writing every day so I can push my pen game
Put my thoughts on paper so that I can save my headspace
I feel alive every time I see you press play
I'm coming for the throne, 'bout to be checkmate (my turn)
It's time to wake up, my moment's coming
I'm headed for the top and the views are stunning
Quiet kid is making noise, hey, ain't it something
I'ma help you feel alive with the speakers bumping
All heart so I don't love these fake games
Tryna tell me stay the course like I can't switch lanes
Ride the vibe, when you listen catch my brain waves
I want my love A$AP, like it's Plain Jane
Work the fundamentals, keep it sentimental
Got my music going viral 'cause my words are influential
Incremental with my progress but it's never accidental
Gotta savage typa intellect, call me temperamental
New York City kid, loved the Bronx bombers
Words will last forever, like I write with bronze commas
Put my soul in my music, build my song karma
Toughness in my blood, 'cause I gotta strong Mama (love you)
Cultivate my confidence, break the door down
Savagery in play, you could get your heart torn out
Knock you down, you already at the four count
Taking what you lost, thank you for that warm crown
Time to wake up, my moment's coming
Headed for the top and the views are stunning
Quiet kid is making noise, hey, ain't it something
I'ma help you feel alive while the speakers bumping
Time to wake up, my moment's coming
Headed for the top and the views are stunning
Quiet kid is making noise, hey, ain't it something
I'ma help you feel alive while the speakers bumping
