I've been praying everyday

Lord please make a way

Man I been through the pain

Now the people know my name

I did it when they said I couldn't

Got it when they said I wouldn't

Why would they say that I shouldn't

You get the work that I put in

I did it when they said I couldn't

Got it when they said I wouldn't

Why would they say that I shouldn't

You get the work that I put in

Some of y'all rapping like y'all still got something to prove

I got over that so you know

I don't like rappers who say they got next

When they've been in the game for 10 years or so

Impressed by the fact that you fake n***as famous

You keep finding ways with them favours

Frankly I'm far from complaining

The faster you make it the quicker you fall

N***a face it I'm finally buzzing

I was 15 rapping like I was 20 or something

By 2014 I had all of your favourites frustrated

Confused and afraid of the youngin

So allow me to formally reintroduce myself

Man I done changed A-Reece the name

I'm getting bigger and better than how you thought I would remain

A whole other lane with the same a*s pace

I'm patient no mistakes are made

I pray my haters age up to a 100

Just so they can witness me f**k up the game

Rearrange it again again and again

I've been praying everyday

Lord please make a way

Man I been through the pain

Now the people know my name

I did it when they said I couldn't

Got it when they said I wouldn't

Why would they say that I shouldn't

Look at the work that I put in

I did it when they said I couldn't

Got it when they said I wouldn't

Why would they say that I shouldn't

You get the work that I put in

This s**t right here make Somizi go straight

This s**t right here makes tomorrow today

F**k up your plans make your album delayed

What more can I say

Ambitiouz done scooped a n***a at his lowest

Fam everybody sleeping I'm finally woke

Fam man this time I really need to focus

I'm tryna be considered as a goal

Speak under oath like I already knew I'm the s**t

For real you got to admit I'm cold as a geys'

I'm colder than June 25th

For real I just got a deal

Why you acting like daaiden's such a big deal

Let's be honest I'm a problem in this game

You rappers ain't the same you changed the way you rap

Your beat selection is infact inspired by the boy

Congratulations you're employed

I ain't depending on nobody here but myself

And if I put an album out I swear

It's gon be everywhere but the shelf

I've been praying everyday

Lord please make a way

Man I been through the pain

Now the people know my name

I did it when they said I couldn't

Got it when they said I wouldn't

Why would they say that I shouldn't

Look at the work that I put in

I did it when they said I couldn't

Got it when they said I wouldn't

Why would they say that I shouldn't

You get the work that I put in

I guess when you broke you get bitter

Start throwing shade at the winners

But how can you blame me

I've been eating peanut butter and jelly for dinner

I guess I'm here just tryna get rich and then

Move outta my mama crib

I mean I'm getting older

And not any younger like Benjamin Button you dig

I guess people are quick to forget

They love you they hate you

And love you again I know

And some of you n***as who get on your knees

And pray that I never excel

I guess you gon need a whole other prayer

'Cause yes I'm winning I'm doing so well

I just check out my mail and man it's a movie

We moving I wish I could share oh yeah

I done went silent and gave y'all a year

To prepare

Sit back and just look at me run some s**t

Don't worry 'cause down at the bottom

I tell you there's plenty of company

I've been praying everyday

Lord please make a way

Man I been through the pain

Now the people know my name

I did it when they said I couldn't

Got it when they said I wouldn't

Why would they say that I shouldn't

Look at the work that I put in

I did it when they said I couldn't

Got it when they said I wouldn't

Why would they say that I shouldn't

You get the work that I put in

B***h

B***hes
