oooooh
Verse 1
I’m moving through the lobby with the spirits of the greats
Calculating interest while I’m opening the gates
The blueprints on the table, it’s a million-dollar spread
I turned the "could-be" into "is" and kept the family fed
A business-man, a business, man, the definition’s changed
I took the deck they dealt me and I had it rearranged
From the Marcy water rhythm to the Pulitzer degree
I’m the bridge between the struggle and the global equity.
Chorus
It’s a masterclass in motion, watch the elevation rise
I’m the truth behind the curtain, I’m the wisdom in the eyes
The Brooklyn grit is polished, but the Compton soul is deep
I’m the promise that the ancestors intended us to keep.
Verse 2
Forty-forty vision, I can see the finish line
But I’m doubling the stakes and I’m stretching out the time
I told 'em "be humble" while I’m sitting at the feast
The greatest in the west meets the giant in the east
I’m black-tie at the Grammy, but I’m hoodie in the rain
Transforming all the losses into spiritual gain
The portfolio is heavy, but the flow is light as air
I’m the king of every room because I’m supposed to be there.
Outro
No names on the marquee, just the weight of the words
The silence of the wise over the chirping of the birds
A legacy in stone, a dynasty in ink
The more I achieve, the more I start to think.
