Uh-huh, uh-huh Uh-huh I

hottest in the
whole metropolitan (yeah) With so much knowledge that I
overlook college, man Is my mic on? Mama said "Just do it" so put your Nikes on Aight mom, but these niggas out here rule this jewel to Jesus And don't believe in me like Jews do Jesus (yeah) I'm tryna make it out the
rooms at the
same reaches (aha!) And see a
million dollars but I
never knew reaches (never did) But now my change up like a
picture (uh-huh) I
ain't looking at a
poster but I
see the
bigger picture And I
used to do it at a
momma basement like Tigga But a
nigga so hungry, I'm about to eat ya dinner (ye-up) I'm here in the
beginning and the
end like winter No matter what, was always told to "Go on! Keep your chin up!" (yeah) Because you got to work it up like chin-ups And get on the
rebound like a
sit-up, eh-heh All my life How old they been putting me down? (they been putting me down, they been putting me down) It's been all my life (uh) Tryna get off the
ground (we on the
rise, we on the
rise, we on the
rise!) Well, they say "You can only go as far as you can see" If that'll determine all you could be If that's the
answers, I
got 20/20 vision 'Cause a
nigga out here getting what these other niggas didn't Dawg, I
went to eat-in like savages So not eating at all like Africans And my average is above averaging So they ain't getting none like after [?] I
ain't always had money but was rich in spirit I
always made noise even if you ain't hear it No questioning, I'm ahead of them And moved up like my last name Jefferson The

brother that's underpaid So, I'm paid like church on a
Sunday And fresh to death (uh), I
belong on a
runway My pockets went from super broke to super swole So now I
