What Now

After you've done done more than they thought you could do
 All they do is speculate
 Why you dealin' straight
 Everything you're supposed to do (this is)
 The devil want me to settle, I told that nigga never, no
 Just know it's another level that they ain't really tellin' y'all
 Somebody tried to tell me that the sky's my limit
 Knowing that was only just to cloud my vision
 Livin' in the city of get down, I laid down
 What now?
 What now?
 They told me I never could, but I soon did
 I want my old girl to get a new crib, yeah
 I got pride, pride, pride, pride, pride
 And I'm beggin' you to let me live
 They told me I was doomed to lose
 But I'm just too intuitive and too in tune to lose, yeah
 I got pride, pride, pride, pride, pride
 But the devil wants me to sit with them, yeah
 Livin' good and I worry less
 Got a full phone that's full of curves and blurry pics
 Yeah, I used to work at the carry out
 Never give them lettuce, but honey, my
 Starter's chicken strip
 Phew, when she in my presence, five star villas
 Really, this is all no effort
 Good energy and prayers all around
 Effort, middle finger, what now, nigga's
 Droppin' out, F it
 F it, reckless, yessir
 The devil want me to settle, I told that nigga never, no
 Just know it's another level that they ain't really tellin' y'all
 Somebody tried to tell me that the sky's my limit
 Knowing that was only just to cloud my vision
 Livin' in the city of get down, I laid down
 What now?
 What now?
 What now?
 What now?
 Yeah, pride, pride, pride, gone know, my story
 I've cut ties with y'all who ain't for me
 It's over now, I found my lane, yeah
 I got my mind on God and His glory
 The vision and ambition
 I guess I saw the sign like Ace of Bass, of just petitions
 Hold up, my niggas
 I really wanna getcha
 But really had to figure out that image in the mirror
 And the devil is callin', triple sixes in my call log
 New phone, who this? No, you won't get him to fall off
 Man, the two tone, six-two with the roof off
 Get wrong, blue moon, mm-mm
 'Cause we a bunch of all-stars
 Yeah, used to think that we would all starve
 Now, don't use the finger or fork when it's under full stop
 Yeah, now I'm lyin', I got rhyming and source
 If rap was a palette, I'm the rapper to
 Ramadan y'all, sorry
 Haters on me no way, They cold feet, I hot step
 That's no, Ini Kamoze
 And before you get to be poppin'
 Probably got to see pay
 Before you see the G-5, you'll probably fly Soul Plane
 You probably go from oh Lord, to so-so, to okay
 But, okay is dope, the ol' Lord, the blank face
 What now? Wale
 The devil want me to settle, I told that nigga never, no
 Just know it's another level that they ain't really tellin' y'all
 Somebody tried to tell me that the sky's my limit
 Knowing that was only just to cop my vision
 Livin' in the city of get down, I laid down
 What now?
 And I done did about everything they said that I wouldn't do
 I done played the game, played myself, and played the fool
 Would you live without lights, the nicest clothes, and a plate of food?
 You gon' take advantage of everything that's in front of you
 Nigga, trust me, I know
 I done stuck to my plan A from the go
 'Cause a plan B's just killin' what ain't meant to be from the go
 From always sellin' myself short to damn near sellin' out shows
 From no diploma to bein' booked in colleges to perform
 Nigga what now, still feel like I ain't got shit but I'm up now
 I'm too close, they feel like I'm far away, I'm stuck now
 In a high place, I'm the rock, though
 I'm a gold mine with no silver spoon
 I'm good enough to be the greatest man
 But when I get there what's left to prove?
 I promise I'm not scared of growth
 I promise I'm not scared of growth
 The devil want me to settle I told that nigga never no
