The Gifted (feat. Ponce De'leioun)

C-Sick New year same me but my life is changing Fans I am gaining while friendships are fading Tongue is my brush observe what I'm painting Was in a dark place before got overtaken Almost sold my soul one and only satan Now I'm in the fast lane going triple digits This lavish lifestyle I'm about to live it Chosen one since birth Wale I am the gifted Dark times creating lyrics super bright just know This year ima shine I'll be your light Was a Danny Hand tiger now I'm earning my stripes I've lived a white life yeah you heard me right But lately been in touch with my heritage Remember I'm North and Central American Ponce and I told you bout changes, this ain't a game But if it was bowling the fakes I ain't sparing them Only bout strikes I keep it hundred times three Marathon man so don't run shit by me I'm a slave to music but you can never buy me (Wooh) Scared of my success you went into hiding Not gonna look for you only look beyond you Talk is cheap and I got some coupons for you Not sorry that I'm constantly dropping bombs on you Used to lean on you thanks to the codeine Now you're salty as fuck cuz I stopped the sugar coating Bit off more than you can chew sucks to be choking And soon for your Instagram captions my songs you'll be quoting Mad now huh? Don't be just accept it Exactly what I did with my depression Been doing a lot of reflecting now my time gonna reinvest it With people who care bout me who've been present Best gift of life won't take them for granted Crazy to think how I started out empty-handed God gave me lemons I made limoncello Know I'm a king don't need Sacramento I'm the real deal you're just a demo And I swear my rhymes are fresh as fuck you'd think I'm spitting mentos And finally if you didn't know before now you really know that I Can't Pretend (Woah) New year same me but my life is changing Fans I am gaining while friendships are fading Tongue is my brush observe what I'm painting Was in a dark place before got overtaken Almost sold my soul one and only satan Now I'm in the fast lane going triple digits This lavish lifestyle I'm about to live it Chosen one since birth Wale I am the gifted Check it I'm living lavish Started in the basement with a little bit of cabbage Made my way up to the attic Memories are havoc I used to be a savage You ain't need no social media to check on my status Now I cause static This music is a drug they be fiendin for a hit and So I line em up like traffic Too many niggas hide behind computers like catfish But me I'm actually an established artist who goes the hardest Most likely I go the farthest these other rappers are garbage Careers are starting to tarnish and honestly niggas fond of me I feel it via energy they swear they not into me until we turn into enemies I'm fly as fuck like I got wings on the end of me Presidential status like I'm John F Kennedy Riding through the city with the top off Waiting for something simple to pop off I don't need a stopwatch this is my time my year I grind no fears got drive no gears Sitting front row when I started in the rear I deserve everything that I own I swear Yo Ponce couldn't agree more an amazing feeling Getting what you earn when you started poor Now we living lavish getting our bottles poured Girls running they mouths but that ain't why they jaws sore Now we soaring to new heights only on the rise We two underrated rappers with heroin-laced coke rhymes We like scotch only get better with time Verbal abuse in the first degree but we won't get pinned for the crime My life is mine taking it back from some of you Had enough of you now I'm in front of you I'll be above you so you can understand me Gonna be the man you said I can't be
