2006 (Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

(album: Shake The Snow Globe - 2020)

Let me talk to 'em, yeah

I'm just tryna get my mind right
I did what I said I would, I got my mind right
I be squaring up on doubt, like it's on sight
The better part of me is telling me it's alright, yeah
I'm just tryna get my mind right
I did what I said I would, I got my mind right
I be squaring up on doubt, like it's on sight
The better part of me is telling me it's alright, yeah

This is '06 motives with 2010 potions
I ain't have shit but my confidence in focus
Dice game, I'm rolling 'til I get seven
Giving hella eighteen, I'm smoking 'til I reach heaven
Dropped out in the years that followed after
Couldn't, made you think I should have stayed in school and finished
But 2016 became a multimillionaire rapper
Thank God I didn't live according to y'all's vision
I never listen to anything but my gut
From fifty dollars a week to two hundred thousand a month
This is off my fables, top flight angels
My TuneCore is a top five label
Before the fame it manager your fingers
Stalking pictures on the wall like we were serial killers
Held the camera once or twice, and I edited it too
What I speak is from experience off every shoot

I'm just tryna get my mind right
I did what I said I would, I got my mind right
I be squaring up on doubt, like it's on sight
The better part of me is telling me it's alright, yeah
I'm just tryna get my mind right
I did what I said I would, I got my mind right
I be squaring up on doubt, like it's on sight
The better part of me is telling me it's alright, yeah

This is ten years, six careers, mastered by one
Watch your tone when you talk to me, these rappers are bums
When it comes to what I'm doing or rather how much
I am your whole team, you should respect me as such
'97 Nissans to McLarens with trunks in the front
I might pull up on my high school crush tryna fuck
Of course she is, make her walk barefooted in my house
I get the mouth when she sees the square footage, uh
I'm just playing my cards, you would play 'em if you had 'em
Fourteen, making beats, friends laughing at me
Asking "What, you think you gon' be famous or somethin'?"
But I landed where I'm at 'cause I was aiming for something
Y'all were aiming for nothing, guess it's fuck you for life
Even back then I felt like it was fuck your advice, damn
I been me, yes, all the above
Before the hate, before the love
Man, I always been Russ

I'm just tryna get my mind right
I did what I said I would, I got my mind right
I be squaring up on doubt, like it's on sight
The better part of me is telling me it's alright, yeah
I'm just tryna get my mind right
I did what I said I would, I got my mind right
I be squaring up on doubt, like it's on sight
The better part of me is telling me it's alright, yeah
