Manifest
Lyrics
Was 16 years of age, I put the pen to the page
Who would ever thought it would create so much rage
Never been same, remember like yesterday
Was just a runaway, but I could not escape
Was chillin Sean's room, they were playing COD
Was listening to beats, then said oh my God
My head start to nod, then I heard the beat drop
Soon to be Know My Name, who would ever thought that
That would be my first beat, that would make me thirsty
Having a thirst, to the make the verse turn to heat
But I had to cool down, cause I felt cool now
But I wasn't hot yet, thinking that I'm hot shit
Fast forward so fast it's like it's a crash course
I was in high school, trynna rap some more
Diss anybody, trynna put a rhyme together
I'll diss you and you I'll take on whoever
You ain't fucking with the rabbit, not even with the rapping
My rhymes are locked and loaded, I'm busting all the caps with
Haters saying I should quit, no one fucking asked ya
Imma fucking problem, that's waiting bout to happen
Twenty-seventeen, made my first mixtape
That shit was so trash, still hurting till this day
I was so off beat, but it sounded cool
Had no one to guide me, no set of rules
But I had no idea if the chorus came first
Spitting really fast only made it sound worse
But then I found Vert, and I said let's get to work
Then I made him go berserk, cause I had a lot to learn
Couple trash tracks, don't talk about that
The caution mixtape, I'll swear you'll make me laugh
Forsaken Prophet, almost there then I'll stop it
I remember when I dropped it, kinda funny to be honest
Had gotten an email from a record label
The moment of truth but it really was a fable
Scammed fifty dollars, and I just had my daughter
It was all that I had, couldn't even pay the cable
Then I made Flex, then it all start to click
I'm like what the fuck is this, it's like I flipped a switch
You ain't fucking with me bitch, cause now I make hits
Call me Big Papi, cause I promise I don't miss
The Rabbit Trail, I prevailed, I kept going, I won't fail
They Don't Know, On the Run, what it costs, oh a ton
Sacrificed my rent, but it was well spent
Album out soon, so please don't forget
Hooked up with people, that worked with Joyner Lucas
And Token too, I'm nervous and I'm clueless
They're professionals, they know what they're doing
But I'm here to chase a dream, show'em that I'm the truest
Remember when Trevor said I hope you make it
That stuck with me so I see if it Imma take it
I'm not one to play with it, disagree your mistaken
Don't say I didn't say it, when I say it Imma spray it
Album came out, I was number one sixty
iTunes Charts, next time hittin sixteen
Everything I do now is getting risky
I got Bunny Nation, I'm glad that with me
Then I made "Roadkill" did it with no deal
Cooking up like oatmeal ballin like O'Neal
"Knock Knock" let me in it, I got Futuristic
I'll stop in a minute, nonstop independent
Twenty twenty can't lie was kinda crazy
And lately, I been elevating on a daily
Twenty twenty-one, I'll get it done and no one
Could ever stop the best, and the way I manifest
