Produced By J. Cole Lyrics - Caleborate

VERSE 

This is just my check in on a mission tryna find myself 

Vexed missing blessings 

Tryna find my Wealth 

The best 

Always dressed 

In nothing less than 

What's comfortable 

- 

Excuse my diction 

I been bumping nas 

For a month or two 

- 

Watching all the things in this world 

That's supposed to be apart of me 

- 

Got me ready to make my own carter three 

See this shit is a part of me 

So pardon me 

I had to part 

My opposition 

Had to get my own pot to piss in

Songs You Love If You Love Nerds 

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

Watch Cardi B Join James Corden For Carpool Karaoke 

Had to make my own bread 

Build my own business 

I had to make it past chilling in the hood business 

Seeing my dad really put me in a different state 

Fuck what I been running for 

I'm lost in another race 

The one for my soul 

The one against my demons 

The one I drink away 

The one that keeps me scheming 

Late at night to be a star 

You know i call it dreaming 

It's not about the fame I mean that 

I really mean it 

But let me tell you the truth 

And why I do this here's the reason 

Photos 

I promise you it's not no corny shit 

I'm really speaking 

I wanna save lives first and foremost 

Cuz I remember Chance the rapper saving me from jumping outta dorm rooms 

But I also need money 

Cuz my family ain't got it 

And see I got a talent 

That could fill up moms wallet 

So for me to not get paid 

Is me literally wilding 

You gotta understand 

My life won't be like yours without it 

And I cannot just chill 

And wait to perrish at the bottom 

So you gon have to hear me 

Make my way thru all my problems 

Cuz Nigga I am legend 

Fresh prince but I ain't rich 

- 

I'm a dog 

Kinda small 

But ain't never been bitch 

Problem 1 

Nigga I was broke last year 

I couldn't afford shit 

Almost sold dope last year 

- 

Just weed 

You know in case I make it with this dream 

This next one in line 

Behind balling in the league 

See I cannot fail 

Because my pockets so frale 

Worst part of my day 

Was putting up with auntie yells 

Then Nic called 

You know that's my big dawg 

He said we gotta hit New York 

You a big fish don't get small 

So he took some dollars 

He coulda gave to his daughter 

And put em on a nigga that he knew would take it farther 

I was scared as fuck 

I even fainted on the plane 

Cuz I knew this was it 

I'd never see the bay the same 

We 

Got up in them offices 

Gave em a good listen 

Told em I could see the future of the game 

I got a vision 

I can change the whole thang 

Like when Jordan met pippen 

I know you see the same 

Nodding yo head while you listen 

I know that I got a thing for being the best out 

Respected like d-rose 

Savvy like Steve Stoute 

Dipping on these hoes 

Blowing my weed out 

Fixing my yankee cap 

Rewriting my daily raps 

I swear I'm the cleanest out 

Cole I need a beat 

Like you need a damn hair cut 

Cole I need a beat 

Got some bars 

You wouldn't dare touch 

See at least you fucking with me now 

I was scared first 

I didn't wanna let you down 

Peace to who wears the crown 

Look around 

I swear Its different in the world for guys like us 

Not just emcees 

Niggas who really say real stuff 

Including lil uzi, 21, Kodak, tee grizz, lil yachty, Denzel curry, migos, Rae sremm, rich homie, and of course my nigga thug 

All my dawgs painting what our childhoods was 

You get no love 

If you hating 

On a young man 

Stacking up his chips 

Like he finna go all in 

The system want us missing 

I can see they hate the vision 

Im done tryna play the game for niggas that's just sitting 

I'm done tryna be the guy 

That's getting all the bitches 

I just wanna touch the sky 

And bring you all there to witness 

X2 

HOOK 

So let me spread my wings 

Aye let me spread my wings 

X3
