"Set The Bar" lyrics

I set the pace, I set the bar yeah, yeah
Yeah, you know where you've been, know where you are, yeah, yeah
Yeah, I understand
I set the pace, I set the bar yeah, yeah
Know where you've been, know where you are, yeah, yeah
Yeah, I understand
Yeah, it's by the quarter to nine
I can remember the days down in the basement
Recording my lines, I was a youngin'
My daddy was cuttin' my hair
I wasn't goin' to salons
Kids teased me though it wasn't easy
It was hard, but man I was born to survive
Trapped, trapped in the closet
Sweat drippin' while I was recording my raps
I was that student in college to study for hours
But I wasn't built for the desk
High school was a jungle, I stumbled on what I had
I wasn't caught in a trap
Thugs ike me, boy, the plus like me, boy, the girls like me
Boy, I got no respect
'Cause I've been puttin' in work
I know it's important to rest
Red Bulls, double shots on the floor
Study hard, I was good for the test
Three schools, ten page paper for the winter break
That's most of my stress
Songwriter and apologist
I don't apologize, plus I'm a corporate exec, yes
I set the pace, I set the bar yeah, yeah
Yeah, you know where you've been, know where you are, yeah, yeah
Yeah, I understand
I set the pace, I set the bar yeah, yeah
Know where you've been, know where you are, yeah, yeah
Yeah, I understand
I want y'all to listen to me and my creativity
Like I'm Kanye on the track
They say I'm fallin' off, I call it evolved
Yeah, maybe I'm trapped
Maybe I'm trapped in the prison of 2006
When I sounded like Jay-Z and Wax
Now I need all of the same fans
To stay with me so I can keep hangin' them plaques
Please, don't get me wrong
I am so grateful for all the support from the past
Want you to play all the old music in your headphones
While you mowing the grass
Want you to play all the classics in your classic
Yeah, along with the new music
'Cause I need you, it's not my last hit
But it's comin' so fast
I get it, man, I understand
It's different from when I was riding a train
I guess it's the creative license I got
But I never intended to drive him insane
Only intended to drive in my lane
Boy, I'm bout to hype up my name
Truth, yeah Emanually, boy, I'm puttin' my life in a game, yeah
I woke up this mornin'
I can't miss this moment, yeah
I woke up this mornin'
Yeah, yeah
I can't miss this moment, yeah
I woke up this mornin'
Yeah, yeah
I can't miss this moment, yeah
