[Intro]
Welcome back..to nothing you've ever seen before
{laughs} This is Now

[Verse 1]
Uh, life is just a lesson, lesson what's the message
Clearly my direction shall surface without a compass, so honest
My opponents are next, no contender
Sensor foul lingo as I encourage the youth, my truth
No further detail, music center my email
I'm addicted to retail, ladies that push a CL
Envious of my motion, hands up, I'm roller coasting
We making it while they hoping we deter, No sir
Eyes on the prize while they deny the admiration
While I'm adjacent, the hardwood floors they fast breaking
The potency of my lyrics, leaving them hearing spirit
They rapping so incoherent, apparently it's apparent
But how we not contenders when, you feel it's unanimous
You wanna be Drizzy Drake but you same as a cannibus
Analyst, I know the game but learning as I entertain
VA is where I'm from cough up a lung minus the cigarettes
I'm now (I'm now)
Uh I bet they know me now
I'm tryna see the top but we starting from the ground
And now (and now)
I'm feeling the pressure like that last college semester
Real world such a stressor
And now I'm eating sushi, now bitches tryna do me
And niggas talking to me, you would think they never knew me
And now I'm in discussions, discussions within communities
Started as a dream, but they tryna Martin Luther me
All about this truancy, subliminals is cool with me
Now it's about the Board, that's the label fuck the scrutiny
No suit for me, no shirt and tie
Before the casket, or at least until I make a classic
I need it now
