From the recording You Are What You Listen To
Lyrics
Verse 1:
I ain't playing no games, asking questions later/ for now I'm taking names/ been waiting on this moment putting on with my homies/ nothing ever comes easily especially when you want it/ be so good they can't ignore you, best advice I ever got/ Stay ready to rock cease the moment if opportunity ever knocked/ my plans exactly always was/ when the going got tough we never budged/ no matter how many L's we took we knew them Dub's was sure to come/ all facts that's real spit I'm motivated by real shit/ winners aren't people who never fail, winners are people who never quit/ it always seem impossible all the way up until the point it's done/ don't matter how many problems faced what matter is how many's overcome
Hook:
It's only a matter of time I always been on my grind/ even way back then I always knew I'd win/ didn't take no days off, hard work it pays off/ that's how I know that it's only a matter of time
So many said I couldn't watch me do it tho/ blood, sweat and hours in the studio/ I always pushed my pen/ always knew I'd win/ that's how I know it's only a matter of time
Verse 2:
Salute to all my doubters/ feel like I'm surrounded I see why the bandwagon is crowded/ save all ur suggestions.... I had enough to have seconds/ I'd rather walk alone than walk with y'all all in the wrong direction/ get used to this I'm true to this/ bust my gluteus for this music shit/ For this rapper life I've sacrificed/ got a knack to write got a slew of hits/ man most my homies got they trap on, I was busy getting my rap on/ all we know is get it we tunnel vision no plan b to fall back on/ cuz we all in, this Gods gift my calling/ got me convinced I'm born to win/ and in these scripts to sum drop jewels in small gems/ hope they get it right, since way back when I been this nice/ and never not once did I feel defeated/ victory I see it the main reason I'm feeling like
