Back like I never left, carried enough regrets
I learned to live with it, trained to rise above the rest
My moms left the US she went back to the islands
Now I'm off the races I'm bout to max the mileage
We used to cut demos post up in front of labels
Y'all be treating fans like customers, I said fuck the fables
My stories unedited more like a directors cut
They had ya chance to shine
It's they fault they messed it up
It's been a journey everything I got I had to earn it
I was determined I took the wheel without a permit
I had the courage to see it through I built a vehicule
As if I was just gonna quit what else you wanted me to do?
Rubbed shoulder with stars and iconic figures
Ran into all types of niggas, seen a trail of victims
Caught up in the web the game's not fainted Heart
It got me looking like the prime version of James Harden
Now I'm ready straight focused my sleeves up
When you step inside the court, things start to speed up
Producers hurling beats at me, rappers throwing beef at me
Acting like the police, shorties throwing cheeks at me
You'll sell yourself short trying keep everybody happy
You gotta learn how to say "no" keep the replies snappy
I got saavy through the meetings, and the conferences
You can't succeed when you surrounded by incompetence
Kept the circle real thorough no dead weights
Let em speculate riding the bench! While they spectate
Dropped mega heavyweight tapes I'm off to the next phase
They see my name associated and they press play
Steamroll em see the chosen in the scene holding
Watch out for them thieves so many got their dreams stolen
Durable money account buzzing While I sleep money
That solid as rock nothing you can seize from me
A walking contradiction living in a violent system
Still smiling through the wickedness with a child's vision
Surf the algorithm NFTs thru open seas
Crossing oceans, I recruited the coldest team
Values from the older school that still hold strong
I'm the truth so fuck ya debates cause u both wrong
The New Wu, we form Voltron
Transform like Gohan, focus our energy in both arms
Soldier in arms still focused and calm
Getting big I feel like I can hold the world in my palm
The journey was long, but well worth it at the end
A terrible chapter end, now we laughing with friends
The ends justify the means, we alive so we can dream
Trying to right some of our wrongs, we strive to be redeemed
Whether face to face, in person or live stream
Thru trials, we persevere till our tribe succeeds
Make the world shocked with something to remember us for
Lock in in the winter hit the road when the temperature warm
Heart pounding thru my chest I can feel it in my person
Intimately learned my inner workings beneath the surface
And if it all came easy then it would defeat the purpose
On a herculean feat, till I reach my peak version
My eyes to the East cause the sunrise there
Hard rocks alumni, we not run by fear
