Lyrics by：Russell Vitale/Jeremie Pennick/Tariq Trotter

Composed by：Russell Vitale/Jeremie Pennick/Tariq Trotter

Yeah yeah

Don't compare me to employees who hopin' they see a check

I'm in a drop top mclaren just hopin' I see an ex

She hopin' we reconnect no chance

I'm tryna be bigger than the beatles not hold hands

Keep on throwing stones I'ma make statues

No face tats but people got my face tattooed

Freeing the damned by being free as I am

And speaking belief into people sittin' with reason to stand

Who just might be needing a hand I got you

9th wonder blessed provided the gospel

I feel god-like my fans all feel like apostles

Model your mind after mine and you gon' be just fine

Model your mind off these other guys and you gon' die

That's why I'm always at the

Head of the table follow my lead

I'm a money tree women tryna swallow my seed

You wasn't with me at my roots though

I've been on a quest for love

For women with a roots fro

And potential like a juco

Athlete catch me in the backseat with a*s cheeks on my lap

We in utah so we f**k to a jazz beat

It's actually therapeutic she classy I'm ferris bueller

Swimming out in turks and caicos beware of the barracudas

I got heart I'm the 'cause my life is just the effect

I'm altering my reality living in vfx

Made a half million dollars then

Fell asleep on a jet

F**k the club up atlanta ain't seen this since bmf

Told my accountant reinvest gotta

Pound of w**d for stress

I might drop two platinum albums

In a year like dmx

Keep on living in my light and

Let my faith just lead the way

'Cause if I'm taking y'alls advice I'm probably making y'alls mistakes

Instead I'm out in egypt just baskin in the results

Of listening to myself and mappin' out all my goals uh

My career is a course in self-confidence

And how ownership leads to opulence adjust your oculus

If you tryna rise to prominence

Bust down the doors assert dominance when you call your first conference

I'm honest with my women that's probably why they all hate me

They focused on bein' lori I'm focused on bein' jay-z

The run that I'm on is gonna be longer than the euphrates

Gotta super model chick that's badder than tom brady's

Rap game bunch of clowns in disguise like

John gacy

You got one plaque and it's not

Even your song I got eighty

Lately y'all are lazy waitin' to be carried

Lotta y'all are dead you just waitin to be buried

Listen I've been hot since michelle and barack

You out your mind if you think I'm gon' stop ha

I didn't come this far to only come this far

I gotta keep momentum swingin' keep momentum swingin'

I didn't come this far to only come this far

I gotta keep momentum swingin' keep momentum swingin'

Conversation alone in the mirror uh huh

I told myself before the year up

I'd be another homeowner and

Another millionaire uh facts

My life crazy but I'm way too

Busy to tear up too busy

Just please keep them broke

Vibes from near us walk away from me

We different I'm not the one

To converse uh huh

By the time you mumble your verse

I'll be in top five company comfortably gunnin' for first first

If it's rap or either trap one gon' come with some perks

The other comin' with a six foot

Hole dug in the earth d**n

Look I know how them numbers lookin'

I don't gotta check stats I don't do that

The p***y good but I'll still never text back nah

Being unsigned ain't never changed my potential

With every wave of a pencil a n***a gaining momentum

Wanna walk in my shoes but

I'm not trading my christians

For crocs never but lil' rap n***as

Only cravin' attention

It's funny when you hot

Funny uh but it's ugly when you not

Everybody doubt then suddenly you pop pop

N***as sign them 360s and hope it do something for their stock

But I turned on more money than

I got and that's a lot

Had patience and it helped I remember thinkin' make it big

Then decorate the crib with paintings of myself

'Cause that who I owe that's who

You gotta give yourself credit

They definitely won't they won't give you s**t

You won't hear this flow so often so treasure these quotes

As far as cheddar we know enough plugs with bricks

That I'd probably never be broke

I'm used to not gettin' sleep

That's a twenty-four hour business

Exercisin' my brain like 24 hour fitness

Haters look at my jewels get the

Feel of resentment

Feelin' like I'm 'posed to buy they friendship what

I remember sellin' merch dolo mailin' my own shipment dolo

Now I'm on y'all hoes thinks it's christmas

Am I the one trippin'

Me even if you think you this nice

It's gon' be hard try to match my ambition

I'm goin' on a rampage handguns and champagne

House need a d**n maid my watch need

A lampshade

Body language everything read what

My hands say read what my hands say

I'll go a little slower if you need

Me to translate need me to translate

Boss moves keep options that's how

You plan safe

Just sealed the deal for a hundred

With a handshake

Weighin' out the racks a hustler

Who really made it out with rap

With the jewels in the bank accounts to match

The butcher

I didn't come this far to only come this far

I gotta keep momentum swingin' keep momentum swingin'

I didn't come this far to only come this far

I gotta keep momentum swingin' keep momentum swingin'

Yo when I first started recording

I swore it was more important

To make it to soul train in a

Gold chain and some jordans

Than makin' my own lane and then blaze in the trail forward

But I came from the old days where

The vision was too distorted

To come to an understanding a partnership and plannin'

For your marketin' and brandin' though the office was abandoned

Am I surprised I'm monetized like more morgan stanley

I'm in a position now to make a difference for the family

My wife kids and in-laws deserve renoirs

Picassos and warhols distressing my memoirs

About the knowledge of experiences I've endured

Create the bars full of information like sim cards

I left court rooms as a defendant fully acquitted

In spite of the bloodsuckers who try sully my image

And fightin' with motherf**kers who tried to tell me I'm finished

As if I'd ever consider the sky above as a limit

When I am the scientific my honor I'm dying with 'em

Iconic gifted it's rare and requires a fairly different

Kind of spirit far as inner feelings

I ain't tryna hear it

Bein' fearless how I'm pioneered

Into a higher tier

If I am peerless I guess I am here

'Cause ain't nobody near me

On a pyramid and I'm adhering to the game theory

I maintain momentum and I made a name clearly

But I can't stop I believe it's no rest for the wary

From the cards I was dealt to awards

On my shelf

I turned scars to a sense of regard for myself

Based on where I set the bar

I made it hard for myself

I lent the hand before my brothers called for my help

When I was still an inspiring gun right for the firing

Tryna find a part-time job site that was hirin'

Never concerned with the age or the height requirements

Tryna shake the ways of the hood like the violence

Watchin' the homies being forced into early retirement

I'm stuck as another product of their environment

I was told that achievement of goal starts to tryin' at

The prize keep your eye on the hard work rely on it

And nothing else don't just hustle for your health

Fear they gon' do nothing for you until you secure your wealth

Focus on the top I've been hot since before crack rock

You out your mind if you think I'ma stop yo

I didn't come this far to only come this far

I gotta keep momentum swingin' keep momentum swingin'

I didn't come this far to only come this far

I gotta keep momentum swingin' keep momentum swingin'

Let me

Let me
