lyrics

(JuneThaKid)

I put the work in, that’s how you make it flourish
Took more than money, it took losses and some courage
Took many chances that I wasn’t sure was worth it
Took out the guessing work, it’s clear now, that’s for certain

I done made a lane for all my niggas and it’s working
We done came a ways from thoughts of feeling we was worthless
Way we making waves it feel like everyday we surfing, making plays with a purpose, play the gang, then it’s curtains nigga

($aiku)

I been peeping game jus like D’antoni niggas Janky with promoting, steal a check under your nose, man
Fuck em we too lit for all that hoe shit, gaining traction and exposure cause the product way too potent, like damn

Niggas claim they boomin on the socials till you meet they ass in person
See that hermit shit ain’t working, it's a scam
I been in my bag picking out serpents, like I’m Jake back in the 80s hit My finisher it’s curtains

We been in them waters from the Jump just like the Germans
In the deep end like a sturgeon treat an opp just like a Persian
Sliding through your city with the gang taking excursions
Catching bodies off the body of my work just for exposure

Pull up to the show and end your night like I’m the closer
Giving epics every story, my shit timeless like I’m homer
Shorty called me for the closure got the dick and then the shoulder
I'm a Minnesota nigga so you know ain’t nothing colder

This my fucking life it ain’t no gimmicks for no posers
A mechanic with this ratchet, if he shakey, check his motor nigga

(JuneThaKid)

I put the work in, that’s how you make it flourish
Took more than money, it took losses and some courage
Took many chances that I wasn’t sure was worth it
Took out the guessing work, it’s clear now, that’s for certain

I done made a lane for all my niggas and it’s working
We done came a ways from thoughts of feeling we was worthless
Way we making waves it feel like everyday we surfing, making plays with a purpose, play the gang, then it’s curtains nigga

Another day, another stepping stone, I put that pressure on em
In a battle with myself, I do not see no opponents
Cause I’m chasing success that ain’t defined up in them numbers
Shit I’m chasing based off who can make they name survive the longest

When this shit all said and done, we done came a long way from when we spit this shit for fun
Now we on stages every month
Laying waste to all these beats got my stock raising to the sun
But now I feel like I can’t trust no one because

I can’t tell who fake and who just wanna ride the wave
When you in this life you meet new faces everyday
And some of y’all good actors so it’s hard to spot the snakes
So I keep my head on a swivel, hope I peep for it’s too late

Shooting perfect from the field, I get the green light I ain’t missing
I do this for real, they know I’m gifted with the scripture
Don’t compare me to my peers, we not the same, can spot the difference
Made my name off spitting flames you made yo name off politicking
It's the kid nigga

I put the work in, that’s how you make it flourish
Took more than money, it took losses and some courage
Took many chances that I wasn’t sure was worth it
Took out the guessing work, it’s clear now, that’s for certain

I done made a lane for all my niggas and it’s working
We done came a ways from thoughts of feeling we was worthless
Way we making waves it feel like everyday we surfing, making plays with a purpose, play the gang, then it’s curtains nigga

Another day, another stepping stone, I put that pressure on em
In a battle with myself, I do not see no opponents
