Sometimes I think of success like is it smoke and mirrors?

Like when I make it would my problems get to disappearing?

Or would it amplify the doubts I'm feeling?

Multiply the time I'm spending

Hoping it's worth it and not the wrong decision

Remove the veil I'm learning what isn't real

It's really a cold world like that nigga from the Ville

And Yeah

We're in the negatives niggas playing sleep like some sedatives

Coroner with sheets on my relatives

Bartender pour me something stronger

Can you slow it all down, can it last longer

Can you dumb it all down for the billboard so it charts longer

Advance getting smaller when you talk smarter

Bunch of lap dogs now you got to bark for your owners

Saying you the boss but it's all bogus

True poet like that rapper that did Flower Bomb Lotus

Got to stand tall like a small forward

World order watch me take this shit and start it all over

I'm toying with you niggas yall some small soldiers

All focused on the next play

Working to the bone like an X-ray

Swear that I'mma go and fly

And you can see the picture clearer if you open eye

This ain't a game James Bond ain't no golden eye

They taking notice cause I'm on the rise

Making records on the fly

Thought that I was joking but I want what's mines

And can you tell the truth is it smoke and mirrors?

Am I still far away?

Am I getting nearer?

Any closer to the prize will I be the winner?

When it's over will I be remembered

Tell me will I be remembered yeah

And can you tell the truth is it smoke and mirrors?

Am I still far away

Am I getting nearer?

Any closer to the prize will I be the winner?

When it's over will I be remembered

Tell me will I be remembered yeah


Know some rappers have a thing for flashing

Chains get snatched they blasting a chain reaction

Take them platinum plaques to the grave for lacking

Yeah he streaming cause he gone now

They acting like he's on now

Said nothing before he died better calm down

And he got shot down it dominoes yall all down

Then win a Grammy man what type of shit is that?

It's like yall rather see a casket with him lying on his back

And if he was still alive yall be quiet as a rat

Yall be silent when the time is for the audience to clap

That's why I chose the name Bravo

Cheering for myself when yall won't

Got to prove them wrong yeah

And when I'm on would the grass that be growing on the lawn

Seem greener than the side that I'm on?

Yeah

I'll tell you once I get there

Far from the finish till the stone gets set there

Yeah

And can you tell the truth is it smoke and mirrors?

Am I still far away?

Am I getting nearer?

Any closer to the prize will I be the winner?

When it's over will I be remembered

Tell me will I be remembered yeah
