[Intro]
Boot up, boot up, boot up! Wait!

[Pre-Chorus]
I got it how I wanted, it to be, real shit
Focused on the wallet, I achieved real shit
Living like the prophecy’s in me, real shit
I don’t see nobody else to beat, real shit

[Chorus]
Why try, why compete, real shit
Why try, why compete, real shit
Why try, why compete, real shit
Why try, why compete, real shit

[Verse]
Higher in the muscle to negotiate the deal
Watch the underdogs they might bite you in the field
I Woke up focused and made another mil'
Never gave a fuck about opinions for real
Used to want the i8
Now I want Porches
Nigga imma own that
I don’t lease foreigns
Sorry I don’t call back
I hate talking
I feel like elchapo with the dollars, I’m importing
Game gets analysed
Bussiness still organised
Cash gets amplified
My babe down to ride
I’m living in abundance
But I ain't ever satisfied
Grind like I’m crazy and I watch my cash multiply
Uh, second best is bullshit, I won’t compromise
Proven in my movements, I’m a mental guy, uh
It’s all in my blueprint, how I win at life
I just get up and I do it, I don’t fucking try
I get, uh, everything I ask for
Counting up these wins I get, I know why they’re mad for
Killing everything I left, go an check the back log
I don’t need no leaching friends, these niggas they don’t last long
Miss me with the news, uh
I don’t give a fuck
Niggas get abused
When they talking tough
Posted with the crew
Merchandise in the trunk
Let me tell the truth
The world is not enough
Working on my craft
Half assed when I’m listening
We never lead the path
We just dash to the bigger shit
Handing off the scraps
Let them eat it while we killing it
Knives in my back
Take 'em out I collect the shits
Use them for something else, I know better
If I do the same thing, then I’m no better
Man, why would life with no pressure
Got dominos and land bitch, I know pressure
Heavy handed
Scars ain’t too demanding
I’m a money magnet
Let ,em have it
I think rest is action
Use the time imagined
Always practice
Put my time to passion
Seriously, I’m bat shit
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
It’s the psychopath, thats laughing

[Pre-Chorus]
I got it how I wanted, it to be, real shit
Focused on the wallet, I achieved real shit
Living like the prophecy’s in me, real shit
I don’t see nobody else to beat, real shit

[Chorus]
Why try, why compete, real shit
Why try, why compete, real shit
Why try, why compete, real shit
Why try, why compete, real shit
