Early Morning (Intro) - Berdan

Never been the topic of conversation

Medication, fornication, that’s my compensation

Always strings attached just to make it complicated

I’m truly a fiend for the confrontation

If more of my homies alive I would laugh more

I came a long way from robbing corner stores

Ms Wallace said that death is only thing I’m headed towards

She wasn’t wrong

Money is the thing I was reppin for

03, with bands stuffed outta my pockets

Predicted to be a prophet

Only focused on profits

I ran the rock like I was Kobe in the western conference

Only saw what was gained

Not what it cost us

Yeah boy, I’m immaculate with the pen

Tired of 2nd place, I’m Ricky Bobby for the win

Always grinding, I ain’t slept since 2010

Sold my soul years ago, tried to buy it back again

Sip from the Holy grail, Toast to my holy Wars

My ex never saw what I was working towards

She wanted Michael Kors, I want my name in Forbes

Platinum records, Hot 100's, Grammy galore

Bags under my eyes you can see the stress

Working twice as hard just to be the best

They ignore me everytime I attempt to flex

I could run a full court press

No one would be impressed

Riding down Lake shore Dr. Bumping Kevin gates

Not in a rush to blow up, I like to keep my pace

Not from Chicago

But me and Common are in a common place

My momma right, I got what it takes

G.O.A.T talk and top 10's I’m never mentioned

And when I am it seem like they all get dementia

Like BrokeRich didn’t set tone for the vision

Did it for tradition, not just to gain attention

Late Nights on Giest felt like the Hamptons to me

When you came from the streets

Where they playing for keeps

Staying in motels, on the floor where I sleep

No guarantee you’ll survive to see another week

So fuck the street cred and all the lives I took to get here

Not just to win a Grammy at risk of sounding sincere

Want to leave a legacy, put my family at the top tier

Lost everything twice over so what do I gotta lose here

Steven, Khi, and Alex.

I’m forever your debt

Y’all helped me build a dream not even looking for a check

I know somethings I could’ve done better now looking back

Hindsight is 20/20 even without the context

Drinking Prosecco like it’s a celebration

My daily life looks a Renaissance illustrations

Still pacing myself while shooting for higher elevations

I just like to thank my fans for all of their patience

Yeah, I like to thank my fans for all of their patience
