There's more to what your eyes can see
When you look at me (when you look at me)
So don’t be judging me
When I am who I wanna be (who I wanna be)
'Cause I'm all the way up, all the way up
And I ain’t ever going down
I'm all the way up, all the way up
And I ain't ever going down
I've been chasing since the late '90s
Been thinking lately, what if Dr. Dre sign me?
What if I get a deal with The Rock? (with The Rock)
Does speedy even know that I am hot?
This other crises are running through my mind
Looking for answers, but what the hell are they to find?
Youngers looking up to me guess it's my time
That's what the n***a steady on a grind
For years their opinions were depressing me
I couldn't focus oh that bullshit was messing me
Even broke up with that shorty called Stephanie
Finally, she on a cock smile tryna get with me
I signed myself to my label it was only right
’Cause I didn’t wanna get signed to this phoney types
Opportunists, they don't care ’bout your life n***a
So before you sign 'em papers think twice n***a
There's more to what your eyes can see
When you look at me (when you look at me)
So don't be judging me
When I am who I wanna be (who I wanna be)
’Cause I'm all the way up, all the way up
And I ain't ever going down
I'm all the way up, all the way up
And I ain't ever going down
I'm thinking 'bout those days when I was locked up (locked up)
I couldn't survive if I was not tough (not tough)
They let me out but still it got rough (got rough)
But still, it got crazy, yeah it got hard
Three years ago I couldn't even pay my bills
Happy to say the other day I made a meal
Damn n***a God really had a plan
Some people doubt me 'cause they never seem to understand (ooh)
When I say that I'm a product of the Lord's grace (amen)
If you aren't feeling what I'm saying you're in the wrong place
If you don't like me, who the hell are you to listen?
It's just a case of foolish niggers making poor decisions
I signed myself it was only right
'Cause I didn't wanna get signed to this phoney types
Opportunists, they don't care 'bout your life n***a
So before you sign 'em papers think twice n***a
There's more to what your eyes can see
When you look at me (when you look at me)
So don't be judging me
When I am who I wanna be (who I wanna be)
'Cause I'm all the way up, all the way up
And I ain't ever going down
I'm all the way up, all the way up
And I ain't ever going down
Hey, son of a legend, daddy gave me the keys
He told me that if I want it, what's the point of saying please?
That's why you don't see me I'm here pretending to be nice
If you got it and I want it, I might have to use my mic
Right, this mic is more that just a tool of amplifying my voice
Right now you're getting schooled
'Cause the way they push this youngest getting lost is hell of frightening
Rappers wanna rock it only if you want to enlighten
They say the truth shall set you free
Negativity everywhere man just let me be
Opportunities that I get I try my best never to mess 'em
The verses I speak with the answers of teaching a lesson
I signed myself it was only right
'Cause I didn't wanna get signed to this phoney types
Opportunists, they don't care 'bout your life n***a
So before you sign 'em papers think twice n***a
There's more to what your eyes can see
When you look at me (when you look at me)
So don't be judging me
When I am who I wanna be (who I wanna be)
'Cause I'm all the way up, all the way up
And I ain't ever going down
I'm all the way up, all the way up
And I ain't ever going down
