Dripping in ambition from my head to toe
What would happen if you never quit
You never know, you never know, you never know
Gotta live with them regrets if you let it go
Niggas talking greasy but whatever though
I be so ahead they couldn’t see me with a telescope
We ain’t even peers and I swear I try to tell them folks
I am not no punchline rappers, I ain’t telling jokes
Say it with your chest when you address a goat
Any disrespect is getting checked so expect a ghost
Niggas ain’t ill since we hit them with that second dose
My pen ultimate, we killing them this episode
Never in a stressing mode, cozy in my whereabouts
Knowing that the gang is on Ang, they gonna air it out
Show me what you care about, apparently the clout
Where I’m from your big homie would be scared to leave the house
Down South I could hear the two things from momma’s room
Gun shots bucking in the night and the sonic boom
I’m sick of murders like I’m sick of hearing auto tune
Sick of A & R’s overlooking if you’re not a coon
Dripping in ambition from my head to toe
What would happen if you never quit
You never know, you never know, you never know
Gotta live with them regrets if you let it go
You’re so close to the blessings that you’re headed for
What would happen if you never quit
You never know, you never know, you never know
Gotta live with them regrets if you let it go
Who would’ve thunk, we would’ve grew up in a slum
Shoot, let the data tell it, we was doomed from the jump
Slung tunes out the trunk, went to school in the swamp
Now a nigga’s elevated and I’m doing what I want
Give me room, give me room, let me pass, let me through
Give me cash, all I’m asking is the racks that I’m due
Put so many niggas on that I should’ve had a label
Gave them game, worked the boards, what you bringing to the table
Oh, my Lord, what a shame, to the grave from the cradle
I’m just doing what I’m made for, case closed
Say bro, watch your mouth, the world moves how you say so
Could be the greatest story never told but you’d never know
Dripping in ambition from my head to toe
What would happen if you never quit
You never know, you never know, you never know
Gotta live with them regrets if you let it go
You’re so close to the blessings that you’re headed for
What would happen if you never quit
You never know, you never know, you never know
Gotta live with them regrets if you let it go
Used to play it safe, now I wager faith
So if they ask me how I did it, say amazing grace
I want them to call me crazy when they hear this stuff
My biggest problem was I wasn’t dreaming big enough
And then they called me conceited because they couldn’t see it
If you can’t find no inspiration then you’ve got to be it
Do you believe it? You’ve got to let it grow
I’ve seen a lot of lives changed in one moment so you never know
