Verse 1
Woke up in the mansion with the marble foyer
Countin up the years I been dodgin the coroner
They used to tell me I was reckless with the potential
Now they see me in the Phantom and they actin sentimental
Grew up where the sirens sang a permanent song
Mama prayin on her knees while I was doin wrong
Traded cornrows for the crown I was destined for
Now the boss talk loud but he whisper to the Lord
I seen my brother fall, I seen my homie snitch
That's the cost of this life, it ain't for the faint of heart
I was sellin dreams just to make the ends meet
Now I'm buyin buildings off the milk and the concrete
Every scar on my soul is a chapter in this book
Every closed door just made me tighten up the hook
They want the old me back but that youngin done grew
I'm the mayor of the hustle, what the hell they gon do
Verse 2
Let me take you back to the corner with the broken glass
Frost on the mailbox, heat comin off the stash
Nineteen with the weight of a whole empire
Mama's rent due and the fridge got no fire
I moved work through the snow with a broken shoelace
Prayin to a God that I barely knew by face
Fast forward to the jet with the leather interior
They said I lost my edge, I just lost the inferior
I'm talkin generations, I'm buildin on the legacy
My sons gon see the crown and know the cost of the pedigree
I lost my partner to the system, he's doin twenty-five
Every time I'm in the booth, I'm keepin his name alive
The game changed faces but the hustle stay the same
New money talk louder but they whisperin my name
I'm the boss of the bosses, the last of a breed
Every lesson I was taught I turned into a deed
Verse 3
Introspection when the sun start to peek
Lookin at my wrist, thinkin 'bout the ones in the streets
I bought my mama a crib, she still cooks in the kitchen
Tears in her eyes, said she proud of her Nixon
That made me think about the nights I couldn't sleep
The ghost of my father in the mirror when I speak
They paint the picture rosy but the canvas was red
Every million that I made, I paid with my head
They don't know the nights I sat alone with the silence
Countin every enemy I made and every alliance
Trust is a luxury I can't afford no more
I shake the hand but I'm lookin at the door
The throne get lonely when you sit at the tippy top
Every vulture circlin, every hand that's out to cop
But I stay gracious, I stay grounded in the Lord
Even kings need a knees when they prayin on the floor
Verse 4
Now my nephew wanna rap, I tell him learn the numbers first
These streets will have you thinkin that the hunger is the curse
I gave him the blueprint, told him study every failure
The crown ain't in the chain, it's in the posture of the tailor
I remember sellin ounces out the back of the library
Now I'm buyin yachts and I'm makin them libraries
That's the irony of growth, the circles gettin smaller
But the vision gettin wider, the mission gettin taller
I'm a student of the struggle, professor of the hustle
Every L I ever took just sharpened up the muscle
They ask me what I learned from the bottom of the well
I learned to build a ladder from the stories that they tell
And I ain't gotta scream to make the room feel my presence
The quiet in my voice is the weight of my lessons
This that Maybach Music, the symphony of success
And I'm still raisin the bar while they
