Yeah yeah Yeah yeah I've been working way too hard for me to not be winning Just have to remind myself this is just the beginning Lately I've been feeling way too stressed My parents tell me I should try to do less But I got too many people to impress, I guess That's why I switch it up on you stupid fuckers and you best Believe I got the crowd screaming Cos OE ain't nobody and nothing to f*ck with Don't you see that I'm the one coming up, it's Funny, with this MC, you can't touch this You rappers out on Sesame Street, you just puppets This for folks back home, yeah, I hope they gasping And for people lookin at me now and asking "Is he a writer, a actor, a beatboxer or a rapper?" All of the above, boy, and this is my new chapter Uh With this flow boy I'm locking it in, chopping at skin You locked the door, but I'm knocking it in Mocking your top ten, homie, I could top all of them I got these blond locks and the opposite skin To most people in this genre, but I'm not gonna spend Time talking bout that, it's obnoxious when Rappers act like being white is some accomplishment All you gotta know about me is I'm not gonna bend Yeah I've been working way too hard for me to not be winning Just have to remind myself this is just the beginning I've been told to survive in this game will mean me sinning Just have to remind myself this is just the beginning Yeah Who the f*ck you know who been doing as much as me And still getting straight A's? Now, look, I ain't saying that grades are everything But who the f*ck you know writing eight plays Getting published in six places Working for three publications, and still making Time for two jobs, Society, and my classes And all that in the past year and a half? It's A lot to balance, I know, and believe me Ain't nobody fucking with O, so please keep Your distance, my only wish is that you hit repeat My ambition is something bigger than someone's retweet I guess I'm just working harder than y'all And Barbara told me "The bigger you are, the harder you fall" I hardly listen though, cos at heart of it all When you're working this hard, boy, it's hard not to ball Woo! Come f*ck with me If you on the other side of this divide and you gon try to pick a fight Then you unlucky It's gon get ugly When I'm finished with my list you better hope you're not on it Because it's not the type you write in time for Christmas I don't give a shit about your wishes Every time I get a mic I know I gotta rip it And yeah it's plain Everybody in this game is gonna know my name Uh I've been working way too hard for me to not be winning Just have to remind myself this is just the beginning I've been told to survive in this game will mean me sinning Just have to remind myself this is just the beginning Yeah Yeah, yeah Uh Whole lotta shit's gone down recently It hasn't been easy Dealing with all the indecency and beef peacefully Feels like all these people want a piece of me And please believe I'm pleased with what we've achieved But I've never been good at keeping speeches brief Went from writing to beats in secrecy To playing three gigs in one evening, sweet J Free tryna to teach me how to succeed And Sailboat's saying we've only got three weeks To complete this shit before he needs to leave And Mom and Dad saying that I need more sleep Reed saying he wants features from me and Dani And I keep telling her that she should seek her dreams Can't wait for y'all to see her gleam Meanwhile I'm just as terrified to release this EP Terrified by the speed I maintain to compete And make a name in a game I probly won't beat Still scared of being seen as a freak Or being a repeat of every MC before me What makes me unique? What if people hear this, misread what I mean, and ask me to leave? Or worse, what if I'm well-received, and start receiving green? What if I get trapped in a machine Defined by greed, from which I won't be released? At least I got the lease renewed Got past my finals, another year is through Thinking bout my future, what I need to do The hard part about starting is revealing who You are, to yourself as much as everyone else They say it's good for your health, but is it even true? Haven't been eating enough, what's eating you? I keep rewriting this verse, going for a redo It's like an overdue book I want to renew But I've run out of time, still I try to revise Re-record and ignore that I can't afford to Too many avenues I want to pursue They tell me you have to choose one, but it feels like I lose A part of myself whenever I do Truth is, I just got too much to prove And I've been working way too hard and still I'm just not winning They ask me "Are you okay?" I say, "Yeah" and keep on grinning Keep on going, never fall, but still I'm not admitting That what's scariest of all is that this is just the beginning Oh Oh Yeah
