[00:02.39][Intro: BJ the Chicago Kid]
[00:03.05]After you've done done more than they thought you could do
[00:11.81]All they do is speculate
[00:13.85]Why you dealin' straight
[00:17.90]Everything you're supposed to do (this is)
[00:21.38][Hook: BJ the Chicago Kid]
[00:21.72]The devil want me to settle, I told that ***** never, no
[00:29.77]Just know it's another level that they ain't really tellin' y'all
[00:34.18]Somebody tried to tell me that the sky's my limit
[00:37.24]Knowing that was only just to cloud my vision
[00:40.25]Livin' in the city of get down, I laid down
[00:48.80]What now?
[00:54.20]What now?
[00:55.70][Verse 1: Wale]
[00:55.90]They told me I never could, but I soon did
[00:58.11]I want my old girl to get a new crib, yeah
[01:01.38]I got pride, pride, pride, pride, pride
[01:04.58]And I'm beggin' you to let me live
[01:06.45]They told me I was doomed to lose
[01:08.61]But I'm just too intuitive and too in tune to lose, yeah
[01:12.48]I got pride, pride, pride, pride, pride
[01:15.79]But the devil wants me to sit with them, yeah
[01:18.22]Livin' good and I worry less
[01:20.18]Got a full phone that's full of curves and blurry pics
[01:22.99]Yeah, I used to work at the carry out
[01:25.34]Never give them lettuce, but honey, my
[01:27.15]Starter's chicken strip
[01:29.10]Phew, when she in my presence, five star villas
[01:31.90]Really, this is all no effort
[01:33.75]Good energy and prayers all around
[01:35.95]Effort, middle finger, what now, *****'s
[01:38.51]Droppin' out, F it
[01:39.02]F it, reckless, yessir
[01:41.42][Hook: BJ the Chicago Kid]
[01:41.87]The devil want me to settle, I told that ***** never, no
[01:46.59]Just know it's another level that they ain't really tellin' y'all
[01:51.16]Somebody tried to tell me that the sky's my limit
[01:54.05]Knowing that was only just to cloud my vision
[01:56.95]Livin' in the city of get down, I laid down
[02:05.72]What now?
[02:11.28]What now?
[02:16.68]What now?
[02:22.12]What now?
[02:23.47][Bridge: Wale]
[02:23.68]Yeah, pride, pride, pride, gone know, my story
[02:29.37]I've cut ties with y'all who ain't for me
[02:34.81]It's over now, I found my lane, yeah
[02:40.30]I got my mind on God and His glory
[02:44.70][Verse 2: Wale]
[02:46.19]The vision and ambition
[02:47.43]I guess I saw the sign like Ace of Bass, of just petitions
[02:50.34]Hold up, my ******
[02:51.53]I really wanna getcha
[02:52.89]But really had to figure out that image in the mirror
[02:55.60]And the devil is callin', triple sixes in my call log
[02:58.84]New phone, who this? No, you won't get him to fall off
[03:01.74]Man, the two tone, six-two with the roof off
[03:04.33]Get wrong, blue moon, mm-mm
[03:05.48]'Cause we a bunch of all-stars
[03:07.23]Yeah, used to think that we would all starve
[03:09.82]Now, don't use the finger or fork when it's under full stop
[03:12.62]Yeah, now I'm lyin', I got rhyming and source
[03:15.06]If rap was a palette, I'm the rapper to
[03:17.01]Ramadan y'all, sorry
[03:18.91]Haters on me no way, They cold feet, I hot step
[03:21.71]That's no, Ini Kamoze
[03:23.11]And before you get to be poppin'
[03:24.60]Probably got to see pay
[03:25.80]Before you see the G-5, you'll probably fly Soul Plane
[03:28.66]You probably go from oh Lord, to so-so, to okay
[03:31.35]But, okay is ****, the ol' Lord, the blank face
[03:34.05]What now? Wale
[03:37.53]The devil want me to settle, I told that ***** never, no
[03:43.04]Just know it's another level that they ain't really tellin' y'all
[03:47.09]Somebody tried to tell me that the sky's my limit
[03:50.03]Knowing that was only just to cloud my vision
[03:52.90]Livin' in the city of get down, I laid down
[03:57.04][Verse 3: Chaz French]
[03:57.54]And I done did about everything they said that I wouldn't do
[04:00.25]I done played the game, played myself, and played the fool
[04:03.09]Would you live without lights, the nicest clothes, and a plate of food?
[04:05.49]You gon' take advantage of everything that's in front of you
[04:07.95]*****, trust me, I know
[04:09.10]I done stuck to my plan A from the go
[04:11.00]'Cause a plan B's just killin' what ain't meant to be from the go
[04:13.83]From always sellin' myself short to damn near sellin' out shows
[04:16.49]From no diploma to bein' booked in colleges to perform
[04:19.54]***** what now, still feel like I ain't got **** but I'm up now
[04:21.45]I'm too close, they feel like I'm far away, I'm stuck now
[04:24.24]In a high place, I'm the rock, though
[04:25.85]I'm a gold mine with no silver spoon
[04:26.99]I'm good enough to be the greatest man
[04:28.34]But when I get there what's left to prove?
[04:29.69]I promise I'm not scared of growth
[04:32.71]I promise I'm not scared of growth
[04:33.62]The devil want me to settle, I told that ***** never, no
