Back to the basics, back to the root of it all
Wasn't for how I ball in the fall, wouldn't be rootin' at all
Look how far I came, but I still hear boo's from afar
Cause the ones who hate you the most, don't really love who they are

My baby been glowin' lately, cause she made love to a star
Envy from behind the scenes, when they not playin' they part
Took some things personal, but I never take it to heart
Cause I was put on this earth to shine light on those left in the dark (yuh)

I show my face and then it's time to go
Cause as of late, time ain't movin' slow
It ain't a race, but I'm chasin' goals
No time to waste, but I'm patient though, you never know

I used to chase a path of greatness so they all know I exist
Used to want a few girls that I know that I never could get
Used to lose my cool and composure when I never went
Now I learn from my losses and I know I ain't losin' again

Crazy same girls get left on read and I know that they sick
Now I know how to navigate my soul with the spirit within
Now when the love comes and goes, I still know I'm the shit
I still know I'm the shit

Play it cool when I'm feelin' low
Always find a way, I put it on my soul
Worry about my next move, bet you never know
Life gets hard, gotta grow, do it on your own

Make 'em eat their words, they don't make a sound
Down on your luck, they never was around
Focus on the ones that hold you down
If you lose yourself, they gon' make sure that you found, yeah

Play it cool when I'm feelin' low
Always find a way, I put it on my soul
Worry about my next move, bet you never know
Life gets hard, gotta grow, do it on your own

Makin' me their words, they don't make a sound
Down on your luck, they never was around
Focus on the ones that hold you down
If you lose yourself, they gon' make sure that you found, yeah

When did casual conversations turn to interviews
When did downplaying what I've done fulfill your inner muse
When did countin my pockets make you disregard my feelings too
Or the fact that you think I'm paid, dont matter what I'm goin' through

How could you fathom this? Just cause your pockets dry
Throwin' dirt on the next man, make you feel good inside
All the energy should go to you and makin' a better life
Some people just ain't built for a life where you make sacrifice

So they look at me wrong when I don't sign off on a check
Cause they believe you got dough to blow by the numbers on the net
Don't care if you straight, go make plays
Put a ball through a net, then act estranged and amazed from the boundaries you set, damn
