  • Calmly feel myself evolving
    Appalling, so much I'm not divulging
    Been stalling, I think I hear applauding, they're calling
    Mixtapes aren't my thing but it's been awfully
    Exhausting, hanging onto song as long as daunting (yeah)
    Which caused me to have make a call I thought was ballsy
    Resulting in what you see today, proceed indulging
    As always, the one-trick pony sing it, so quit your sulking

    Born efficient, got ambition, sorta vicious, yup, that's me
    Not artistic, unrealistic, chauvinistic, not those things
    Go the distance, so prolific, post too cryptic, move swiftly
    Unsubmissive, the king of mischief
    The golden ticket, rare sight to see
    I stay committed, embrace the rigid
    I'm playful with it, yeah, basically
    Too great to mimic, you hate, your bitter
    No favoritism, that's fine with me
    Create the riddles, portrayed uncivil
    Unsafe a little, oh, yes, indeed
    It's plain and simple, I'm far from brittle
    Unbreakable, you following?
    I'm Bruce Willis in a train wreck
    I'm like trading in your car for a new jet
    I'm like having a boss getting upset
    'Cause you asked him for less on your paycheck
    I'm like doing headstands with a broke neck
    I'm like watching your kid take his first steps
    I'm like saying Bill Gates couldn't pay rent
    'Cause he's too broke, where am I going with this?

    Unbelievable, yes, yes, inconceivable
    See myself as fairly reasonable
    But at times I can be stubborn
    So, if I have to I will rock the boat
    I don't tend to take the easy road
    That's just not the way I like to roll
    What you think's probably unfeasible
    I've done already a hundredfold, a hundredfold
    It's probable, that I might press the envelope
    Ideas so astronomical
    Sometimes I find them comical
    Yeah, incomparable, replay value phenomenal
    Beat selection, remarkable, slowing me down, impossible

    I don't rock no Rollies
    I don't hang around no phonies (yup)
    I don't really got no trophies
    I don't know why God chose me (I don't know)
    Got something in the cup, ain't codeine (never)
    Change my style, they told me
    Now they come around like "Homie"
    Man, y'all better back up slowly, back up slowly, woo

    Who are you kidding?
    How could you doubt me? I've always delivered
    Ripping the teeth out of the back of my mouth
    The closest you get to my wisdom
    See my initial, but what can I say? I had come to visit
    Check on you guys, you doin' alright?
    Your year really sucked? Yeah, that's what I figured
    They cover they heads up whenever I drop
    Shake the whole industry, put 'em in shock
    Come out the clouds like a meteor rock
    Then land on the earth like "Ready or not?"
    Ain't no one like me, the cream of the crop
    Don't even front better, give me some props
    I pick up your body and throw it a block
    Okay, I admit it, that's over the top, not
    Deer in the headlights looks every time I step my foot
    On the ground I get mistook for a lame with no weight to his name
    Ground just shook, let's not beat around the bush
    Even on my B-sides throw 'em off like how's he do it?
    Some say I'm a great influence
    I don't know about that, but I did do the best I could (I could)

    Hollywood, Hollywood, hope Nate doesn't go Hollywood
    You think that you know me good
    You think that you know me good
    Hollywood, Hollywood, hope Nate doesn't go Hollywood
    You think that you know me good
    You think that you know me

    I, I, I, I, I always advance
    Say how I feel, you know where I stand
    Raising the bar, I gotta expand
    Top of the charts, I'm setting up camp
    Pound in my stakes, I put up my tent
    Shoot for the stars, they fall in my hand
    Stick to my guns, I don't even flinch
    Can push all you want, ain't movin' an inch
    I rarely miss, you know I'm relentless
    Ain't got a choice, no way to prevent it
    Just who I am and I don't regret it
    See what I want and then I go get it
    Followed my gut, I'm happy I did it
    Beat all the odds, I ain't got no limits
    Cannot be stopped, you paying attention?
    I ain't gotta say it, they know where my head is
    They know where my head is (head is) Writer/s: Nate Feuerstein, Tommee Profitt
