SUFFICE

(album: HOPE - 2023)

Yeah, if I did it, then I did it right, yeah
This ain't happening for me overnight, yeah
Bet against me, you gon' pay the price, yeah
Down to business, I ain't playing nice, yeah
So ahead of y'all, I'm out of sight, yeah
When you popping, they all want a slice, yeah
Greed and envy, that's a part of life, yeah
Mediocre, that just won't suffice

Better now than ever
Ain't no cracking under pressure, the boy is clever
If I did it, it was stellar, nobody fresher
Stop complaining, man, my head hurts, these catchy records
Ain't nothing really but a walk in a park for me
Heard the catalog, you know I got some scars on me (You know)
Just getting started, you don't really wanna start with me
It's John Q, I would sacrifice the heart in me for family
High roller, but you wouldn't know it by the way that I rolled up
Career lifespan looking good, it ain't slowing
One after another, man, I just keep going and going (And goin')

Yeah, if I did it, then I did it right (Yes)
This ain't happening for me overnight (No)
Bet against me, you gon' pay the price (Pay the)
Down to business, I ain't playing nice (Woo, woo)
So ahead of y'all, I'm out of sight, yeah (Out of sight)
When you popping, they all want a slice, yeah (Want a slice)
Greed and envy, that's a part of life, yeah (Part of life)
Mediocre, that just won't suffice

Keep myself grounded, that's a piece of me that I won't let go
No matter what level I reach, I promise to hold it close
Ain't gotta tell me this hitting different, man, I already know
How are you claiming we had a baby, we ain't never spoke?
I don't be sleeping out here with random woman on the road
They want a DNA test to prove it, I'm like here you go
I could've saved you a bunch of time and told you the results
Looking for hush money from me, you ain't going get it though
Historic, rain on my parade, I keep walking and ignore it
Just part of the game, yeah, it comes with the territory
It's just another day, man, I'm used to it downpouring, it's nothing (Nothin')

If I did it, then I did it right, yeah
This ain't happening for me overnight, yeah
Bet against me, you gon' pay the price, yeah
Down to business, I ain't playing nice, yeah
So ahead of y'all, I'm out of sight, yeah
When you popping, they all want a slice, yeah
Greed and envy, that's a part of life, yeah
Mediocre, that just won't suffice

You know it
On God
Won't suffice

Do not need no introduction (Ooh)
Style my own can't no one touch it (Ooh)
Became what they said I couldn't (Ooh)
Mediocre, that won't cut it

Life is a gift, I
Wanna live it to the fullest while I can, why
Would I not when I know my days in this game are numbered?
Might as well enjoy the few years that I do have left
Who knows when I'ma write my last verse, I've
Been to hell and back ever since that first EP came out with all I
Have on it, I've been given all I have, wasn't really prepared for the pain I was
Gonna have to go through to get to the end result that I knew I wanted
Hoped I would make an impact in rap, has that been insane?
Yes, but it was worth it, I can't imagine if I would've gave up and just turned my back on this music
Where would I be now?
Don't know how
I would of made it out from
Underneath that rainy cloud
Had my doubts, yes, but that's how I found my
True purpose, if my surface looks great who cares if underneath I'm hurtin'?
If there's one thing I've learned in
My life, it's that life is uncertain
Getting burned is unavoidable isn't it?
Ain't a person alive that hasn't been a victim of being lied to, we're all hypocrites
Giving our two cents but not listening
All living in our own worlds thinking that
We're right, when the fact of the matter is a
Closed mind is the mind of an idiot
Don't believe that's true well, open it
