"Who's Next?" lyrics

I'm manifesting. See my victory clear
I'm just a pawn who sees a king in the mirror
Can't be a victim of fear
Turn up the music, grab a fifth and we cheers

Went from a hobby to a passion
Then a business appeared
I see my doubts and then I instantly veer
Ain't finished college, but you know I been a scholar
And the wisdom is fierce

Been thinking back to when my wish was only switching careers
You feel the pain in my soul?
I feel the bliss in these tears
Know the top is truly close
So, I ain't got the time to rest
Beat the trials and tribulations
Peep the prophets at his best
Man, I'm honestly perplexed
They want me constantly depressed
You hear abundance when I rap
This ain't the product of distress

I'm all about my guap
There ain't no robbing me for checks
But in truth, it's left me hollow
I should probably confess
What's cash without the love?
Shit is obsolete at best
Worth a half a million dollars
And my pops is still in debt

Need some time to reconnect
But know that pride is in the way
God, provide me with the strength
To shine a light and guide the way
For the both of us
I know that we got blinded by mistakes
But I'm working till you're good
That's why I'm grinding 'til I break

Though my mind is in restraints
I confide inside my faith
'Til my folks are both retired and they finally can say
That their son has been the realest
Never idolized the fakes
Preaching love to my family
Keeping silent by the snakes

So, I ain't buying all these dreams that they're selling
I ain't rapping just to rap, dog
I'm preaching a message
Got no need for possessions
Finding peace in the present

I finally made it out of hell
Now, I just reach for the heavens
On my knees I'm repenting
"Forgive me, please, if I'm stepping out of my path
Just to throw a couple 'G's to my brethren."
Grow my family's wealth
Every time I speak in a session
So, as long as I can hold the pen and breathe, I'm a legend

Look
Can't pay attention when a pessimist speaks
I let my dollars talk for me when potential is reached
The best in AZ
The fans are all impressed with the streak
I tell 'em all I'm doing well
But I ain't destined to peak

I do this shit for all the nights
That I had slept in the street
Fuck being vested in real estate
I'm invested in me
I'm scoping out my competition
Like who's next to defeat
They want my spot up at the table
Guess I'll fend for my seat
Come on
