Stay Schemin’ Lyrics

I hit the ground running, I came out swinging
When all is said is done, I will be on top winning
What you don't realize is I can't take a break
I can't stop until there's nothing left for me to take
I want fame to the point where everybody knows my name
I'm doing every damn track at the height of my game
Oh what, that just ain't good enough?
Oh what, I just ain't hood enough?
I'm at a point in my life where I can't tell friends from enemies
So I step into this booth, just to yell fucking obscenities
Don't need you in my life, just me. Not we
I don't care where you are, as long as you're the fuck away from me
A one man army, just me against the world
So I block you all out, cause it's me against myself
Contemplated giving up but in my mind, I couldn't
Because I have to disprove everyone who I said I wouldn't

Oh you'd like to see me fail, wouldn't you?
You should be outshining me by now, shouldn't you?
But you ain't and you will amount to nothing
That's what you said to me, but when you said it you were frontin'
But I mean it, you talent-less piece of shit
Keep my name out of your mouth, quit riding my fucking dick
You call me fake, boy you don't stay true to yourself
You don't know me, let me welcome you to my mental hell
My mental health in one word: Unstable
To be the best in the game, motherfucker, I am able
To be making hits, motherfucker, I was made to
To do something with yourself... you're afraid to
So I guess that's what separates me from you
That and that I'll put my mind to whatever I want to do
So look at yourself, before you judge me
Because you wish you could become me
The good guy in me died, oh well fuck that kid
He's the only reason I haven't gone and made it big
And that is the one thing I can tell you I will do
Respect is when you shine in the hood, and they don't kill you
I'm a classic like niggas in the Bronx with the Yankee hat
First question I ask when I step in, where ya lady at?
Take it back like old school niggas with the snapbacks
But I'm new, so I keep it with the 7 5/8" fitted cap
I'm the best that there is, c'mon let's be real
Puttin SD on the map like Cole did the 'Ville
You can't fuck with me, you niggas need Viagra
Step to me, you gon be fallin' like niagra
Fuck YOLO, nigga my words are immortal
Set the game aflame, and my fire is eternal
You know the old addage, nice guys finish last
Well I guess I'm bad, because I'm finna finish fast

I was nothing to you, but you were everything to me
So I took everything you had, and I gave it away for free
Will your mouth still run with a gun up to your head?
Will your mouth still run when I pull the trigger? Dead
Fuck. Literally. I killed it
I'm progressing to the top. You're still shit
Never should've compared yourself to me
I would've had you killed but you ain't worth the five G's
*these next eight bars I didn't have written so I freestyle'd them. Not sure what I said.*

Last 4 bars and you know I'mma go hard or go home
At this point, I'm the best of the unknowns
But I'm slowly making my way up to the big leagues
Big money, big teams, big life, big things
Taking everything down, that stands in my way
Running hard through it, AP, all day
And while I'm shining, you on the sidelines dreaming
While I'm shining, y'all niggas gon stay schemin'
