Read Time:3 Minute, 13 Second

Sean, its good to be home, isnt it?
Uh-huh
I see the skyscrapers in the back, this shit is official
Skyscrapers, straight up

I got a lot on my mind, I got more in my face
If I aint going to get it, that day is going to waste
Im tryna move in my safe like the safe was a safehouse
I aint going out to eat but these hoes stay on the stakeout
And you know its official when I go bringing that BAPE out
Im thumbing through the magazines like, This the girl Ima take out
Imagine stuck in the D and you tryna find a way, way out
And yeah, your music been bumping and you just waiting to break out
And Ive been waiting all god damn year, all year
I can tell that its near, but near aint here
Man, them bills is here right now
I guess you shine brightest when the lights down, like now
And then they say it happened for me overnight, shit, yeah I guess
I guess it took ten years for me to be an overnight success
What you know bout living check to check
To living check to check to check to check?
First place, no neck and neck
Two girls is breast to breast to breast to breast
Blowing smoke but Im a breath of fresh air
Yeah, saying Im doing extra numbers like Im Chinese
Taking double shots like Siamese
Im from where crime breeds, her titties out like, Sign these
I knew I lived this life back when I was young and used to climb trees

I shouldve known back then I wasnt gonna stop
Cause even then I was infatuated with just sitting at the top
I said, I shouldve known back then, man, that I wasnt gonna stop
Cause even then I was infatuated with just sitting at the top

And I dont owe nobody in the world no favors
I started from the basement, made it to the skyscrapers
Im a successful nigga, I got shit going on
Im a successful Don, I got shit going on
I said, I dont owe nobody in the world no favors
I started from the basement, made it to the skyscrapers
Im a successful nigga, I got shit going on oh yeah
Im a successful Don, I got shit going on ooh

Bitch, watch how you speak to me
Ive been working all week and I know I need Z-Z-Z-Zs
Tryna get paid repeatedly
Jamaica or Cancun, oh now thats where I need to be
Credit card used to be EBT, in the D though thats D-EBT
I been thinking about becoming a cop
So I can murk some niggas one-by-one off legally
I talk that real shit, but thats why they loving it
One time for the city, treating it like its the mothership
Was talking to my dad, though, on some other shit
He like, Man, slow down with the girls youre fucking with
If they aint a quarterback, theres no point of rushing it
Dont make the same mistakes I made with your mother
But thats on some other shit, look
Im into risk and taking it
Im into making it, then back, then make it, like I aint made it yet
This the rehab for a workaholic, I been thinking bout shaking it
I done had a Rolex longer than I had relationships
Im embarrassed to say that shit but Ive been working on myself
And thats the most important work, even if you dont get paid for it
Shit, call me the greatest
Dont call up no favors, I call up my savior
Like thank you God, look at all we created
I started rapping Biggie Smalls in the basement
And now we headed to the tallest skyscrapers skyscrapers
