While your heads just above water, struggling to see land
Each hand tryna reach for the beach sand
While I be swimming, back stroking in the deep end
If they wanna sleep then Ima let em sleep in
See your alarm ain't have its timer on
You the type thats envious of who the shine is on
You smiling in their face, but by the time they're gone
You're airing out their dirty laundry but inside you wanna try it on
You big heated while I cop a bottle chilled
After locking in a deal
The process made a lot of profit, whole time you caught up in the thrills
So now you cuttin corners tryna snort up all the hard to swallow pills
You too concerned with people who ain't worth a jack
There's words that needed furnishing but no one even heard word of that
You had a light but didn't cherish it until it turned to black
And only time you turn to God is when he turns his back

Hold up! Game don't play
You think you can play your way?
I said wait a minute, hold up! Day by day
Listen to the game I say
I said wait a minute, hold up! Play your way
You ain't gonna play one day
I said wait a minute, hold up! Pave yo way
But you better stay in yo lane

The root of all evil is found in every solid foundation
Its why you got a crown or why you got your crown taken
Spot light is hotter now ain't it?
Money isn't buying happiness but it's a solid down payment
Gotta lock a smile when you spot a clown hatin
Cuz thats expected like a spotted Dalmatian
That's why I got the chopper out large as a crocodiles mouth with a lot of rounds waiting, whos up?
Better watch ya tongue before it swell your lips
Cuz you don't know who ain't the one to be messin with
Fuck around and face a drum with a steady grip
While you try stickin to your guns with an empty clip
So never be too cocky and see you check your ego
You can have the hawk but then he could have the eagle
Take the words to heart like its squeezed inside a needle
Just tryna do my part and spread the steez to all my people

Hold up! Game don't play
You think you can play your way?
I said wait a minute, hold up! Day by day
Listen to the game I say
I said wait a minute, hold up! Play your way
You ain't gonna play one day
I said wait a minute, hold up! Pave yo way
But you better stay in yo lane

This is soul food, like a whole food for soul
with some Soju from Seoul
Your produce will grow unless there's foes to your goal
If you don't want beef then be hopeful that you can take your tofu to go
So go for the gold, take a shot for the kill
If you grown then you know, if you not then you will
So Ima let you go with something
Be real, be chill, and remember no one owes you nothin

Hold up! Game don't play
You think you can play your way?
I said wait a minute, hold up! Day by day
Listen to the game I say
I said wait a minute, hold up! Play your way
You ain't gonna play one day
I said wait a minute, hold up! Pave yo way
But you better stay in yo lane
