VERSE 1) Live from a place where all the winners be/got your up and coming rappers/then there's me/an undeserving leader with a tendency/to feed to you what's at stake for him/it's tender see?/the people's need's where I intercede/I drop science so we have chemistry/so one day we can sit, enjoy the imagery of where we live/without renter's fees/and it's winter free/I'm all about progress/niggas want change/but they ain't making deposits/the struggle ain't in vain/so don't let it leave your veins cause/when you skip the process, you just become processed/you can't remove the ghetto from my blood/but since the soil's been watered/I don't settle for the mud/on the corners where they hold the metal full of slugs/as a flower I just show them pedals full of love/

HOOK) All I ask is/consider me for now/I won't let you down/I'll be first to show/and be last to leave/after hours please/so I'll prove (just say) I want you/2x

VERSE 2) I caught the jitters by my liver/the moment I decided I'd be bigger than a nigga/and then those jitters turned to shivers/from what I can be considered as/if I don't re consider/they try to grade us with their figures/so they stop degrading I'll be greater than they figure/constellation dreams/they shooting for the moon/I'm aiming for the sun/I'm bout to pull the trigger/the pressures getting greater cause my daughter's looking precious/and I'll never let the hatred of a father take her heart up/or ever leave her guessing/I'm such a walking lesson for her/show her I'm lesser/only fear the professor/my life's a study guide so when he decides to test her/she'll pass with flying colors and won't repeat the semester/I had to take the time to exaggerate my grind/now I'm back in class so she'll graduate on time/

VERSE 3) This is the opus of a skinny dude/who grew up seeing people focus on too many rules/could never cope with being culprits with the hopeless/so, I'm bout to go from penny shoes to Jimmy Choos/never handed a thing/ain't have a silver spoon/he'll never get from the bottom/that's what they still assume/about him/the testimony's in the test/I lost the meaning of tired cause/rest will make you the rest/I only see the highs not the depths/cause I always thought more about not having less/Picasso for my niggas with the pictures I express/tell them we can live a painting/we just gotta change the sketch/yea, ain't the stuntin ain't over wait../cause now we're upscale like overweight/I'm just ignorant to acceptance but/accepting exceptions so I can be rich forever/
