Quotable Lyrics:
Uh, I’m as ready as I’ll ever be
Doing things that better me
How you supposed to make it out the block if you don’t ever leave?
How you supposed to make it out the job if you don’t ever see big?
Picture all those wolves out hеre made of sheep skin
Picture all my еnemies tryna be friends
Picture me tryna lead than follow these trends
Pen in hand, but the words from my soul
First rap b*tch you know that went back and forth with Cole
They abusing trust, almost through with love
