Took A Better Route Lyrics

Not built to fit in
I stand out
Give me the money
Take the fame out
Took a better route
They say I changed now
They want me at the bottom with em but I sprang out
Still the same n****
Just changed my lifestyle
I ain't winning in moments
This my new lifestyle
They just want a glimpse inside my lifestyle
A lot of people want to live this lifestyle

A lot of people want a piece
Ain't worried, my dawg keep a piece
Told him chill just keep the peace
Told him he gone beat the streets
They ain't got no intel from my team cause we don't do the leaks
Hard for me to move discrete
Cause when I'm near the wins increase
And all the profits
And all the gossip
I hear the talking
I be the talk of the towns that I don't visit often
I'm fresh to death
My new trench coat came with a coffin
A stand up guy
My only seat is somewhere with the bosses
I ain't out here moving cautious
A long way from average
Don't confuse all my confidence for their arrogance
I ain't never stopping like James and Jordan
comparisons
I'm just out here living on top like it was a Sheraton
They ain't asking what that hype bout
Bet they see this more than hype now
If they hating tell em pipe down
I done went and changed my lifestyle
I can tell that they ain't like how
I transformed nothin' and made it a lot
They switch lanes I'm changing the lot
Started down low now I'm taking the top

Not built to fit in
I stand out
Give me the money
Take the fame out
Took a better route
They say I changed now
They want me at the bottom with em but I sprang out
Still the same n****
Just changed my lifestyle
I ain't winning in moments
This my new lifestyle
They just want a glimpse inside my lifestyle
A lot of people want to live this lifestyle

I felt it then
I feel it now
In fact it's more than ever
Only star you ever seen while in the brightest weather
Feel like this is now or never
Feel like they'll try to take advantage if I ever let em
I feel like I been going way too hard and I ain't never let up
Fed up
Slept on way too long
Make em all have to pick they head up
Guess what
They can't shoot me down cause this was God's set up
Bless up
I can't slow down now
I keep applying pressure
Lead too big
They ain't never gone catch up
FYI that's just a heads up
Cause I'm in my zone
Authenticity in me
They trying to put it on
Ain't been saying much out here lately
But I see a lot of clones
Ain't much too much to comment on
Tryin' to put the family on
And the way that I see it
They don't never want me to change at all
Cause the heights that I'm reaching way too high up that they can't shoot me down

Not built to fit in
I stand out
Give me the money
Take the fame out
Took a better route
They say I changed now
They want me at the bottom with em but I sprang out
Still the same n****
Just changed my lifestyle
I ain't winning in moments
This my new lifestyle
They just want a glimpse inside my lifestyle
A lot of people want to live this lifestyle
