[Intro]
Should've known, should've known
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ayy (Yeah)
[Verse]
Should've known shit was gonna come to this
Sold out shows, different languages
You getting too high, they don't like my lift
You better when you low, they control your shit
New flow, damn, what lane he in?
My own, I ain't fighting these lames again
They thought they could douse my spark
Didn't know that I had the flame within
Downplay me, yeah, it don't stop
Gotta drive past all these road blocks
Didn't know I'm sitting on a gold mine
Fuck it, I'll invest in my own stock
If you can't wait, don't need you
Never bite the hand that feeds you
If you don't want those scraps no more
Don't takе anything from those people, uh
How thе rap game turned to the boondocks
Bunch of fake dudes in the a plottin'
How to make a wave on TikTok
To be the only thing that the kids watch
What happens when the hits stop
The face tats making your skin rot
Then your lane turn gridlock
'Cause of one too many pit stops
[Chorus]
I do it for the kids that wish
Have a little something like this
I was in a jam like shit
Now look at everywhere I been
Sticking to the plan I been
Scary on the path I picked
Finger to the man, I did
Everything I said, I lived
I do it for the kids that wish
Have a little something like this
I was in a jam like shit
Now look at everywhere I been
Sticking to the plan I been
Scary on the path I picked
Finger to the man, I did
Everything I said, I lived
[Outro]
You were born for this
I'm your father, I know
I saw you do this
You [?], this is all you
You're the only one that can stand in the way
Between you and what you want
And I am telling you, as a father and as a friend
Go for it, you grab it, it belongs to you
You step up and you take what is yours, my friend
