If you take time to grow
You will reap the seeds you sew
Search within and you will find
It will give you peace of mind
Million dollar baby don't run nowhere
Million dollar baby don't you be scared
Million dollar baby watch where you go
Million dollar baby go steal the show
You know I tried so hard to make it
They never thought I could do it
All them hard times I went through it
Just to put it all in the music
Niggas saw I was down and out
They never thought I could lift me up
I'm the only one that could lift me up
Still living it up I ain't lived enough
I've been plotting lately
Don't worry I got you baby
One they got their money on ya million dollar baby
I've been plotting lately don't worry I got you baby
One they got their money on ya million dollar baby
Make sure the lines paint the picture crystal clear
So one day the rhymes make the 9 to 5 disappear
It's a red carpet event when the kid premiere
No wedding bell but plan to stack cake on different tiers
Left to right side of him crew thick ride or die with him
He reads between the lines plus he thinks outside of them
My haymaker's breath takers hit them with all I got to give
Promise is touch souls like Shakur and Wallace did
Still playing dues breaking rules nothing to lose
Nice but it ain't what you know it's what you can prove
Loving this journey scenic route taken
Y'all looking gassed out from all the clout chasing
Up North rapper the man is the truth
Tim's, Roots sweat suit and Canada Goose
Who got the 204 debates after this won't be many more
Black Mamba bars giving ops 8 to 24.
You know I tried so hard to make it
They never thought I could do it
All them hard times I went through it
Just to put it all in the music
Niggas saw I was down and out
They never thought I could lift me up
I'm the only one that could lift me up
Still living it up I ain't lived enough
I've been plotting lately
Don't worry I got you baby
One they got their money on ya million dollar baby
I've been plotting lately don't worry I got you baby
One they got their money on ya million dollar baby
I win at all cost till it turn profit
You know the term prophet means he called it
See my fortunes in the future flowing like a faucet
My pops Charlie birthed an angel and it wasn't Farah Fawcett
Losers hate when winning is the topic
Winners always thinking how to chop it
That's the top pick in the draft of life
I seen disaster thrice and turned it into pasta life
Traveling Rome a Mafi for a natural slice
Italian soda in a roaster
Before rapping I was buying custom sofas
All from quotas made from juggling the ollas
I never overstate i got out without torture that's a jewel for you
Certain Hustles need the mindset as a tool to use
Only motive is my mantra that's refuse to loose
They see the team they us stars like a Subaru
We all align then unison a Rubik's Cube.
You know I tried so hard to make it
They never thought I could do it
All them hard times I went through it
Just to put it all in the music
Niggas saw I was down and out
They never thought I could lift me up
I'm the only one that could lift me up
Still living it up I ain't lived enough
I've been plotting lately
Don't worry I got you baby
One they got their money on ya million dollar baby
I've been plotting lately don't worry I got you baby
One they got their money on ya million dollar baby

I've been mastering peace did it on purpose for myself
Creating a masterpiece I've been working on myself
Throw him in sink or swim won't avoid mistakes
Being strong only choice he could afford to make
Set feelings aside for the best outcome
Pick them up when I'm done cause father time I can't outrun
Dudes he took off with ain't ones that he's landing with
Labels tried to stamp him with growth felt like abandonment
Proud of his flaws and his scars sure they left a few marks
But how you manage the damage is what sets you apart
Work in progress ain't saying I'm past healing
But seeing sky's the limit I shattered the glass ceiling
Ya boy solid as a rock know these ops can't shake him
Friends lost a few along the way and he made some
Been years in the making
How long did it take him
City routing for him know how far that he came from
Solid as a rock know these ops can't shake him
Friends lost a few along the way and he made some
Been years in the making
How long did it take him
City routing for him know how far that he came from
Same click till the wheels fall off who he's rolling with
From where the Ls and the dubs are disproportionate
We want that better life still trying to get ahead in life
Recipe for success trying to get it right
They tried couldn't put out that fire inside of me
Irony dying breed dead poets society
Story might hurt if you feel him
Only reason a doubter was ever right when I believed them.
Ya boy solid as a rock know these ops can't shake him
Friends lost a few along the way and he made some
Been years in the making
How long did it take him
City routing for him know how far that he came from
Solid as a rock know these ops can't shake him
Friends lost a few along the way and he made some
Been years in the making
How long did it take him
City routing for him know how far that he came from
Ya boy solid as a rock know these ops can't shake him
Friends lost a few along the way and he made some
Been years in the making
How long did it take him
City routing for him know how far that he came from
Solid as a rock know these ops can't shake him
Friends lost a few along the way and he made some
Been years in the making
How long did it take him
City routing for him know how far that he came from

Y'all left the art's heart with no pulse somebody has to shock it
Verses sound refurbished nigga aftermarket
Raised the bar too high for these underachievers
Getting fly you'd think wings come with the sneakers
Got fat while we starved can't let 'em eat
Taxing niggas for bars like he's selling beats
Around this long this strong it don't even make sense
All these clowns on you ain't get your break yet
Top of the podium he ain't take his place yet
Len been doing this since cassettes and tape decks
Mad they can't touch him fuck'em brush'em off like dandruff head and shoulders above'em
Bury them no comparison
Thought he was gone naah ya boy just evolved another variant
Really what else I got to show them
Leave him open on the court and you know he's closing
Y'all pump fakin' fronting start saying something
In the game but ain't playing dawg you button crunching
Pressure makes diamonds days and hours we invest
Record quality clarity cut VVS
Rappers been lunch really nothing left to consume
Everybody real till real steps in the room
Life's a movie see how it plays out for me
Rap junky no intervention or rehab for me
Highs don't go to his head lows don't go to his heart
Just me and my dreams yea we all we got
Highs don't go to his head lows don't go to his heart
Just me and my dreams yea we all we got
Highs don't go to his head lows don't go to his heart
Just me and my dreams yea we all we got
Highs don't go to his head lows don't go to his heart
Just me and my dreams yea we all we got
