Intro

Yeah

They asked how could I write 20 songs in a month and it be quality

I wrote this in 20 minutes, so you can tell me

Verse 1

Yeah

Everybody worried 'bout release dates

I ain't worried cause I ain't trying to beat drake

I'm doing so much more than just beat tapes

This beat takes

Me on a ride

One of a kind

Now I've got the supply

Hooked this shit up

On my own dime

And they asking when I'll sign

I've been doing mine

Confined to my studio

And we've been getting high

You worried 'bout the status

I'm worried 'bout your mind

I've been killing this shit

I've been changing the tides

And I'm always on the grind

I'm always on the grind

Working 24/7

I'm taking my time

Bridge 1

Like run it

Yeah yeah

Run it

24/7

Trying to run it

Run it, run it, run it, run it, run it,

Run it, run it, run it, run it, run it,

Run it, run it, run it,

Verse 2

Yo

Write 100 songs, kick back

Can't find resolve

It's a mismatch

Y'all just wanted to hear

Some more diss tracks

Full of punchlines

That shit distracts

Us from the purpose

Got me yelling curses

Trying to wake you up

From the life you rehearsing

Patient enough

I got the verses

You searching

Wishing and waiting

Made a god

Now you feeling forsaken

You fucking hate it

You don't what to do

I've been thinking a lot

Cause reflection is truth

So, when I'm in the mood

I can share it in the booth

You chilling all ignorant

I'm trying to prove

This shit's true

I can sleuth my youth

To the projects

The concepts

Is progress

I confess

A lot a lot shit

But nobody stopping this

Man on a mission

Playing on ambitions

Bridge 2

Run it

Yeah yeah run it

Same shit like run it

Run it, run it, run it, run it, run it,

Gary vee

Alan watts

That work shit you know that work

Yeah

Crushing all these wishes

Cause this luck ain't gonna last

Any longer than these swishers

I took upon the task

Decided switch it

To my vision

Had to set em straight

Had to set em straight

Verse 3

So I started a business

Now I'm making a killing

And I still do the dishes

And y'all still too religious

The shit that I be saying

Can build or burn bridges

I'm a nuisance

Who's two cents

Chooses

Race human

Starting movements

Cause the truth is yo

We all still got to learn

We all just students

Mastering the masses

Evolve beyond classes

It's classic

The crass shit

We always always seem to get

Into

I'm trying to get in tune

To the truth

For all these fools

That still trust the news

Here's what I do

I'm looking for the motive

The picture's coming through

Cause it's really not new

Intuition and juice

You got to choose

I'm lighting up the fuse

Like boom

At elections

I'm empathetic but

Neglecting

Breakfast

Focused on the present

Alcohol and weed

All my breath is

And I'm seshing

Shit by now

You should just expect this

I'm writing so much your freestyles

Got intercepted

I get

Tunnel vision to the work

It's the only thing that works

And I'm sounding like a twerp

Who's going hard in the booth

Yeah, my origins were average

I had food, and a roof

But I thought life was an adlib

When the adlibs were truth

And you are too

Yeah, I ought to

Only cool in the mood

Just one dude

Trying to get it every night

Trying to do it right

And prove the sight

I had in mind

Was timeless

Outro

These lines get mindless

In my mess of thoughts

Lost in rhymes

By a kid named Scott

This took me 20 minutes

Like it's off of the top

Like shit
