[Verse] 

I know perfect timing feels like I'm too late 

And I know I'm still great in spite of my mistakes 

You know it's authentic, every rhyme I say 

My only regret is I made niggas wait 

See, ain't too many like us, we like vintage Bape 

And I don't fuck with busters, I can't integrate 

Grew up with these killers in my living space 

Lotta niggas folded through them village days 

Citywide, gang and junction police raids 

LA Times, Rollin Sixties, made the front page 

I vowed to never let you ditch and seal my fate 

Sellin' dope with hopes to graduate to real estate 

I knew I was drummin' to a different beat 

Felt it in my stomach, I was just unique 

We decided we gon' let these digits speak 

Then we turn Slauson into Venice Beach 

S 600 Maybach, platinum dealer plates 

Wake up in this penthouse to the cityscape 

You know it's authentic, every shit I say 

I knew self destruction ain't the only way 

Sometimes perfect timing feels like I'm too late 

But I know you're still great in spite of your mistakes 

Before you run your race you gotta find a pace 

Just make sure you cross the line and fuck the time it takes 

I got out the county jail 2008 

Couple months I dropped the tape then I was on my way 

My first single out it set the streets ablaze 

On location shot that video in front the cage 

Tryna find my way through this fuckin' maze 

Every concert, hundred niggas on the stage 

I'm still active so it's really just another day 

Promoters paranoid to book you, that affects ya pay 

And when you stop eatin' that affects your weight 

And when you get hungry that affects your brain 

See me I'm not trippin' I respect the game 

I hope y'all do if I can't make I'm gon' take your chain 

See ain't too many like us, we like vintage Bape 

And I don't fuck with busters I can't integrate 

I know perfect timing feels like I'm too late 

But every single time I drop they tell me I'm the great
