Wise when I get elite
Was winning bronze but wanted gold when I was 17
We spent our dreams in school (my dreams)
I developed all my ink and impressed 'em with the rhymes
When I hit 'em with the shit in a blink, was in blast mode
When my mom and dad they got home
I would just emulate the rappers with plaques though
Andre 3000, Wu Tang, Nas, Clef Flow
Soul of Mischef, but I wasn't from the West Coast
It's frozen in my mind like a Kodak
I would try to be like Biggie when I flowed back
Definitely '95 when I listened to Tom Petty
Got my mind steady, wanna blow up like confetti
But it's live, this timeline will never override
'Cause nothing ever happens overnight
Still trying to make it mine
We could try to speed it up a notch
But nothing ever happens overnight
Stars align
They just don't do it at the speed of light
Won't happen overnight
Wonder why I stay up waiting for the sun to rise
Like it happens overnight
Yeah
Nothing really happens overnight
I just put some vodka over ice
Now I'm feeling nice
Niggas pouring act in the sprite
Promise I ain't judging, live your life
I'm just giving you advice
Don't be getting blinded by the lights
Soon as people see 'em, they enticed
Succumbing to their vice
Yeah, I know my future looking bright
Don't forget, I had to pay the price
Listen, look at how we living
I'ma catch 'em slipping
33 with the long nose, Scottie Pippen
White girls off the Bobby Brown, Michael Bivens
Stone-cold killer, who the fuck these niggas kidding?
Goddamn, why they think it happened overnight?
I gave it ten years of my life
Ain't do it out of spite
Tension you can cut it with a knife
Every day, I'm trying to get it right, yeah
