Look
You should see how long it took to get here
Product of a million different choices that were sincere
Made it to LA to find out that ain't nobody have no sense here
Probably wouldn't stay if not for Dre
Either way I love the bay, but it was time for me to leave it
Barely off the floor and felt like I had hit the ceiling
I spent most of my best days trying to chase a feeling
To find out it was fleeting I was dying every weekend
I'm diving off the deep end I wanna be the greatest
Swimming with the sharks now my ego is inflated
I got a couple friends back home that treat me like I'm famous
I hate it but I shouldn't be complaining
See I been scared of leadership I'm learning to embrace it
My cousin she look up to me I try and teach her patience
I wanna tell her everything, I gotta practice what I preach though
It's shit I gotta let her learn as she goes
Look how I've grown, I'm not what I used to be
And I won't fold, 'cause all of my roots run deep
And I got, I got this feeling that run down my spine
That I'm ready for whatever comes next, so I'm just taking my time
I'm bout to push it to the limit
A lot of folks could I wanna be the one who did it, that's word to mama
I'm infinite I'm finna be something greater than piles of green paper and pictures that I've taken
I'm fresh in the fourth quarter and I can see them they're fading
This is where the good and the great get separated
I been so close, so long that I can taste it
I just wanna feel like I earned me the celebration
Science of Logic in the fly shit that I kick
I spit the timeless shit that make your mind split
My shit designed divine I can't hide it
This little light of mine, oh, I'm shining
I know that where ever it's at where you can find it
The rest all timing that's why I'm gliding
Pack light the flow might capsize the boat
That's why I float the key is to stay grounded
Look how I've grown, I'm not what I used to be
And I won't fold, 'cause all of my roots run deep
And I got, I got this feeling that run down my spine
That I'm ready for whatever comes next, so I'm just taking my time
I gotta tell you I'm fine
'Cause I don't have the heart to say what's on my mind
It's nothing left to say that can change my mind
I wanna take my time but can't break my stride
So if you love me then let me know
But if you don't you better let me go
The first son shine gotta let me grow
Just me grow, or let me go
'Cause I've been too close to call it
Standing on the edge and I just might fall in
Whole lotta times that I thought bout calling
Knowing it ain't promised I'ma make it to morning
And all I am, what I know now
And all I ask is that you hold me down
I'm on my way, I'm almost there
Just don't look back I swear we almost there
