Three years ago I walked across the stage
Made my family proud
When the dean called my name
But I'm tryna figure out
How to chase my goals and dreams
But real life is in my face
With loans and bills in between
Feel like I wasted some years
Maybe they could've been greater
Slaving for four years
Gaining debt for some paper
Not to say I'm ungrateful
I mean what an experience
Made some friends around the world
That's one thing I be cherishing
Walking through the campus
Hearing RiZ you the man
Couple times was late for class
I was too busy shaking hands
Or busy making plans plotting on my next move
First they see me and then I'm gone
Every day a chess move
In a relationship too I'm only halfway there
Sometimes I have my regrets sometimes it is what it is
I mean we had a connection but maybe only as peers
I mean I shoulda been honest but honesty brings tears
Painkillers can't numb the pain, the pain that pride cause
Head saying go left no answer if my heart calls
Emotion fucks with my logic
My logic builds up a wall
But I forget that I'm human
Some shit won't end in applause
Wishing on a star when I should bet on myself
Need a couple dollars so I could double my wealth
People stuck inside and others risking their health
And niggas telling lies, wishing you everything but success
See I'm stuck inside this cycle
Where I wanna be an idol
See Mike the King of Pop cuz he poppin all his rivals
See I lived a hungry life
I ain't talking food and water
Know what fuels my appetite, being great and dropping borders
See they worried about Cuba while homie holdin the Ruger
Cuz he gotta flip a pack
To put some clothes up on his back
And he got a couple kids, saving life but risking his
Reality is real, you live ya life but live in his
I got a lot to say, and I'm only beginning
I got a lot to do, and it's more than just winning
See I'm really on a mission to build it and make a difference
If you can't support my mission than do everything I'm missing
From the bottom of West, never seen a stack in life
Me and Ron fucked around and made 3 stacks all in a night
That's the spirit of Hussle, you gotta get from the muscle
And if it all falls down you gotta learn from ya struggles
Giving up an arm and leg
Chasing Lady Marmalade
Do for clout and not for fame
Y'all ride more dick than pride parades
Woah
I mean y'all hear what I'm saying
I'm not in for the games
And I promise one thing
And that's y'all will know my name
Said y'all will know my name
R.i.Z. R.i.Z
Said y'all will know my name
RiZ
I said y'all will know my name
R.i.Z. R.i.Z
Said y'all will know my name
RiZ
