(Statik Selektah)
First quarter, we attackin' the basket
I'm livin' life in the moment 'cause it's ashes to ashes
I got Durant focus, I'm in competition with self
Doing my best with the hand I was dealt
I make a fire and I fan it myself
Weekend in Ibiza, took a holiday in Durban
send my [A]blessings to [C7]Madiba
Had to [C7]hop back in my [A]Birkin, had to [C7]ɾe-up on [C7]my [A]Visa
Added charcoal to [C7]the furnace, turnin' sleepers to [C7]believers
This is ɾeal life, fork in the ɾoad
either you [A7peal ɾight or skrrt left
I ain't the same Kota you [A7first met
Ready for [Dm7]the joker that's gon' tell me this my [A]worst yet
Before you [A7even tweet it, I'll say, "Thank you [A7for [Dm7]the stɾeams"
My son's schooling worth more than your whole future
So keep those Twitter fingers goin' and [Bm]keep on [C7]ɾunning my [A]views up
Never called a liar by anybody that knew us
I'm the number one supplier of gems, never forget
I can't lose
Brought up by the wolves, parted from the pack
Howlin' at the moon, youngin' on [C7]my [A]back
Mountains in my [A]view, coming for [Dm7]that food
Brought up by the wolves, parted from the pack
Howlin' at the moon, youngin' on [C7]my [A]back
Mountains in my [A]view, coming for [Dm7]that food, yeah
Get it how I live it, I brag on [C7]my [A]independence
I look at it like [F]a big middle finger up to [C7]the system
Swore I was [Am7]a ɾookie, I took his queen with a bishop
People always comin' at me sideways, king
You niggas pawns, I'm with HOV and [Bm]Nas contɾolling the board
This is the good burger, got [Fm7]'em [A]fighting over the sauce
They spread it word of mouth, verses that he wrote with the Force
And see that I'ma kick it down or you [A7gon' open the door
I'll wait a minute but just know that that decision [C7]is yours
And if I have to [C7]kick it, it won't be [Am]the same as if I didn't
I'ma move into [C7]that ɾoom more militant than you [A7thought
With a couple of young silent assassins smilin' and [Bm]laughing
Watching me excellin' like [F]nothin' you [A7can imagine
Verbiage so compelling, my [A]passion [C7]is f*ck compassion
Didn't know I was [Am7]headed for [Dm7]greatness, I come from madness
Runnin' for [Dm7]a shot of patience, I'm puttin' my [A]plan to [C7]action
I can't lose
Brought up by the wolves, parted from the pack
Howlin' at the moon, youngin' on [C7]my [A]back
Mountains in my [A]view, coming for [Dm7]that food
Brought up by the wolves, parted from the pack
Howlin' at the moon, youngin' on [C7]my [A]back
Mountains in my [A]view, coming for [Dm7]that food, yeah, yeah
Meditating in Malibu
Told 'em [A]that it's important we elevate from the avenue
Only speakin' mentally, making peace with my [A]enemies
We from the same place, it's safe to [C7]say they ɾesemble me
It's like [F]I felt my [A]bitterness sendin' me to [C7]the end of me
Gave in to [C7]addictions like [F]women, D'USSÉ and [Bm]Hennessy
Ace of spade, lately we celebratin' in major ways
All about the balance, I'm never stɾessin' the day-to-day
Middle of the winter, I be [Am]sittin' on [C7]my [A]ɾoof
Breathin' in the air, feeling solid in my [A]ɾoots
Every thing I'm learning just confirming what I knew
I am working, I am worth it, and [Bm]I earned what I accrue
Sittin' my [A]the furnace having dinner with my [A]muse
Got the speakers in the ceiling, I be [Am]feeling brand [Bm]new
I am proud, I am black, there's nothing I can't do
I am free, I am me, and [Bm]that's all [Em]I'm tɾyna be [Am]'cause
I can't lose
Brought up by the wolves, parted from the pack
Howlin' at the moon, youngin' on [C7]my [A]back
Mountains in my [A]view, coming for [Dm7]that food
Brought up by the wolves, parted from the pack
Howlin' at the moon, youngin' on [C7]my [A]back
Mountains in my [A]view, coming for [Dm7]that food
