They don't even make em like me no more
all they do they floss
swear they in go mode
all this lip flopping

talking things they know
all I see is egos
they don't pay the payroll
say they elevating

but niggaz is steady faking huh
flashes in the pan
been patient and now it's working bruh
all they wants the fast route

y'all better get aware
cuz the journey
is just walking up the stairs


Green light
shit that they like
pills in the applesauce
that's how I write

all hype
see they take flight
bad news I'm me
that's why I shine bright

came from ground floor
started at the base
never shortcut
tortoise in the race

rise fast
fall at the same pace
legendary motherfucka
you just wait

did the work
doubled down
whole squad
eating at the table now

from the root
look how a nigga sprouts


They don't even make em like me no more
all they do they floss
swear they in go mode
all this lip flopping

talking things they know
all I see is egos
they don't pay the payroll
say they elevating

but niggaz is steady faking huh
flashes in the pan
been patient and now it's working bruh
all they wants the fast route

y'all better get aware
cuz the journey
is just walking up the stairs


Had to take the stairs
No elevator elevated
underdog overall underestimated
hesitated contemplated

turning L's into M's I waited
dedication ain't faded
motivation persuaded
took my fears and I painted

tell me how could you hate it?
independent I state it
till my estate is all gated
through the lows and the highs

kept my eyes concentrated
tell my mom we made it
tell my daddy we on
tell the women I dated

they should play the trombone
tell the homies get faded
another bottle of Don
forever gone celebrate it

whenever I make it home
gone...


They don't even make em like me no more
