Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Yeah, I can't get no better, can't get no more cheddar

I feel like a king and my queen is Coretta

I been made a livin', I'm never gon' give in

I'm just way too driven, that's why I been thinkin'

I'm scared that I'm sinkin', I'm scared that I'm fallin'

The world think I'm ballin' and maybe I am

But don't give a damn, back in the beginnin'

Did not have a plan, don't know who I am

Or who I'm becomin' but I'ma do me to the fullest, alright

Bustin' and dodgin' them bullets all night

Take over the world, yeah I'm thinkin' I might

Got 'em all in my sight

I know that I'm strong, I know that I am

I know I'm the man

And whether you poor or you filled with financial security

Everyone deal with they own insecurity

Even the preacher was born with impurity

Scared to go out even with my security

Scared of the world and all of its obscurity

Pray for maturity, hope that I grow

Hope my anxiety stay on the low

I swear I hope that shit don't fuck up my flow

Where do I go? What would you do

If suddenly all of your dreams came true?

What would you do if you did it all? (If you did it all)

If you ain't never have to lift a finger

Would you linger like, "Fuck 'em all"?

Guess that's your call, but I can't (It's your call, but I can't)

This a marathon, not a sprint

Switch up the plan like homie that went from Verizon to Sprint

Can you hear me now? Does anybody out there feel me now?

What's your name?

What's your game?

Come now boy, just spit your flow

Feel the pain with the gain

What you tryna say though?

Novocaine to the brain

I can't feel nothing no more

In my lane, can't refrain from lettin' these people know

What's your name?

What's your game?

Come now boy, just spit your flow

Feel the pain with the gain

What you tryna say though?

Novocaine to the brain, I can't feel nothing no more

In my lane, can't refrain from letting these people know

How I feel (How I feel)

Yeah that's how I feel (That's how I feel)

Break it down, roll it up, that's how high I feel

(That's how high I feel)

How I feel (How I feel)

How high I feel (How high I feel)

Down, roll it up, yeah

Searchin' for bliss only led me to searchin' for hits

Only led me to battle depression

I don't learn my lesson 'cause fame never lessen the pain

What if your life was under a glass?

And people tried to dig up shit from your past

And tell you what's good and what's not

And every time you drop a song

They say that it's wack or it's hot

And don't give a damn that it came from the heart

They tear it apart like hyenas, this here for the dreamers

This here for the people that know what I'm sayin'

All of the people that know what I'm sayin'

Fuck social media

Tellin' me who I should be and just how I should rap

They always compare, they always compare me to others

And try to pit me up against all my brothers

Now why you think so many rappers be overdosin' at the crib? (Overdosin' at the crib)

'Cause people just won't let 'em live

And the public is constantly thinkin' they know 'em

But nobody knowing what's going on inside (On inside)

And they wonder why we all hide, shit

Maybe I'm just overthinkin'

Or maybe I'm just over-smokin' and drinkin'

And when I can't deal with the hate, I self-medicate

Sit in the corner and think of a better day

Maybe this bullet can help me to get away

I just cannot seem to think of a better way

Even though I know there is, that's why I keep goin'

That's why I keep flowin'

That's why I keep perserverin'

Even when I'm hearin' I'm a bitch, I'm a fag

I'm a motherfuckin' hypebeast,

I ain't black in the slight least

I ain't good enough, I should quit

I should kill myself (Kill myself)

'Cause you'll never be Kenny

You'll never be better than Drizzy or Cole

"You're losing your hair, you're too fucking old", yeah

These are the comments I'm readin' on Twitter right now

They make me depressed and they pullin' me down

I'm trying to swim but I think I might drown

So I'ma turn that feeling into a sound

And play it when nobody else is around

Whenever I feel like I'm far from the ground

God gave me the power to battle depression

Yeah round after round

I wish I was famous, I wish I was rich

I wish I could just get up out of this bitch (Out of this bitch)

But be careful what you wish for (What you wish for)

'Cause it ain't everything that it's cut out to be

My life is good but not as good as it's 'bout to be

'Cause I got vision, don't fuck with division

Ain't God, but I'm rich and I think that I am

Do what you love and do not give a damn

Fuck all the haters you see on the 'Gram

Just mind your own business and be a good man

Be a good boss and be a good friend

Spread your imaginations to the millions

Don't worry 'bout how to maintain all your millions

Just spread that positivity for the children

And all the haters that's hatin', just love 'em

'Cause that's the only way you ever gon' kill 'em

Know somebody feel 'em

Last but not least, put your ego on the shelf

And remember, love yourself (Love yourself)

Oh nah, nah (Oh, nah, nah)

Put your ego on the shelf and love yourself (Love yourself)

Nah, nah, nah (Nah, nah, nah)

Put your ego on the shelf

And remember, love your 'ember, love yourself

Oh nah, nah

...

Put your ego on the shelf and love yourself

Nah, nah, nah

...
