lyrics

She like boy you too slow
You be going through the motions
Live fast when you lost in the moment
Waves crash that’s the path of the ocean
Eyes on the prize minimize the emotion
Words that I wrote I eloped with my own pen
Can’t choke on the smoke I’m a grown man
Word to my niggas in the Chi that’s on foenem
Just another star tryna shine outta Oakland
Yeah
The path that I walk
Can't be mad
Can’t be bought
Get a bag
Just to talk
Want it all
Need a lot
Know we all that we got
Light it up
Make it hot
Tell them know what you know
If you don’t then you not
We could go toe to toe
I still end up on top
If you really on a roll then you know it don’t stop
All gas no breaks
On go on lock
Big Basi in this bitch so you know we gone rock


They say I can’t shine but I’m golden
Always on time I was chosen
Nothing you could find gone hold him
tell me that it’s mine baby put me in control then

Life ain’t a fair game it’s a cheat code
Live right show love to yo people
Aye
The first step moving yo feet bro
Keep doing what you doing we gone be ok
She like the way I swang on the beat
Running game
Break the chain
Make a name they could see
What he do I did the same in a week
You don’t wanna feel the shame you could blame it on me


They say I can’t shine but I’m golden
Always on time I was chosen
Nothing you could find gone hold him
Tell me that it’s mine baby put me in control then
