[Intro]
Yeah, role to play
Roll another, I roll another J (Yeah)
We on go, go another lane

[Chorus]
I tell myself to hold it down, I know I'm blessed
You goin' through the motions, that's gon' be a lot of stress
Don't let them fuck up your vibe, know you got it out the mud
Yeah, I do it for the love, know they do it just because
Remember times was hard, now we really made a way
I just wanna ball, I just wanna fade away
No, they ain't pick up my call, they wan' see me face to face
I feel like it's fuck 'em all, they hate when you make a way

[Verse 1]
Ayy, growin' up, all I did was the music
I got a story to tell
In the booth, off top and go stupid
Promise I'm givin' 'em hell
In the trap house makin' them sales
Good gas, you could tell by the smell
I did it for a purpose, I ain't do it for show
Niggas went broke buyin' them clothes
Damn, I thought you was the man
He didn't have a plan and now his feet back in the sand
Like what you're gonna do when the time gets hard?
Is they gon' be around? (Yeah) Is they gon' do they job? (Yeah)
Is they gon' play they part? (Yeah) I wouldn't consider it a job (Ooh)
I'm sayin' play your role, 'cause the team could fall apart
So you gotta pay attention (Ooh)
The snakes steady slitherin'
They don't wanna see you winnin' (No)
Promise, don't forget it (Yeah)
Just keep it in motion, we came up fast, we floatin'
I don't wanna slow down, let's go rounds
I'ma go fast when I go in her ocean
I bend the B's, I don't brag about it or boast it
I'm kickin' incredibly dope shit
Rest in peace Mac, on my G.O.A.T. shit

[Chorus]
I tell myself to hold it down, I know I'm blessed (I know I'm blessed)
You goin' through the motions, that's gon' be a lot of stress (A lot of stress)
Don't let them fuck up your vibe, know you got it out the mud (The mud)
Yeah, I do it for the love, know they do it just because (Because)
Remember times was hard, now we really made a way (We made a way)
I just wanna ball, I just wanna fade away (Fade away)
No, they ain't pick up my call, they wan' see me face to face (Face to face)
I feel like it's fuck 'em all, they hate when you make a way (Make a way)

[Verse 2]
Ayy, put in time, tell me, what is a break?
I'm tryna go to be great
Shorty mad, I don't know what to say
Tell her all the time, stay in her place
I'm a lit nigga, I be havin' my way
My diamonds wet like I fell in a lake
She wanna smoke, wanna go to L.A
She wanna come lay where I stay
No, you caught me in my glow
These Mike Amiri denims hold my pistol, let it blow
I made eighty off a show, went and spent it with the bros
I can't buy your loyalty, but I'll be there for you for sure
I think everybody knows this is how it goes down
Everywhere we go now, people screamin', know 'bout
They say we are the ones who lead the generation
Sayin' if I die right now, at least I know I was dream chasin'

[Chorus]
I tell myself to hold it down, I know I'm blessed (I know I'm blessed)
You goin' through the motions, that's gon' be a lot of stress (A lot of stress)
Don't let them fuck up your vibe, know you got it out the mud (The mud)
Yeah, I do it for the love, know they do it just because (Because)
Remember times was hard, now we really made a way (We made a way)
I just wanna ball, I just wanna fade away (Fade away)
No, they ain't pick up my call, they wan' see me face to face (Face to face)
I feel like it's fuck 'em all, they hate when you make a way (Make a way)

[Outro]
Oh, make a way
Oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
