Beat The Odds

I know your bae watch and I ain't even Hasselhoff
I just send a text, I ain't even have to call
Came a long way from who you saw up in the halls
Life ran its course and I don't even play golf
If it come to it, shit, I'll go and put a hole in one
I shine bright but I ain't my mother's only son
What you think they would do, when they know I'm the chosen one
Trynna make a mil but I'm not trynna be the only one
Trynna put us all on, feel like it's been prolonged
Feeling like an operator, I'm the one they call on
When it's shaky, hate to tell them just to go and hold on
Have to stay grounded, I'm the one they all fall on
Broski in the hole, he can't even see the hallways
Something like a vulture, it's been eating at me all day
We can't even talk, it's audibles when he call plays
Might not hear his voice until the seasons just all change
Best advice he ever gave me was to never stop
Cause now I got the music and the clothes they wanna cop
Like the New Year's countdown, they wait for me to drop
And I imagined this when I was in a bucket like a mop
Back when me and Justin was making all these quick flips
Had to go and re-up, wasn't nothing but a quick trip
Now we trynna boss up, get up on some rich shit
And I got more arms in the crib than some triplets
These days you know you can just never play it too safe
They'll try and wet you up, like they Bobby Boucher
Go and leave you pale-faced, all over a blue face
It be bothering me all day like a toothache
Driving with the heat like it's middle of the winter
Before I'm turned an angel, I'm a turn into a sinner
If you grew up eating butter noodles for dinner
You know it don't get better, unless you're a winner
Take a look behind the veil, you'll see just why I am
And everything around me made me everything I am
I'm getting lost up in the smoke like a fireman
But still I focus on the S's like I'm at an eye exam
I was down super bad, felt like I was Jonah
Kept my foot up on the gas like I'm at Daytona
Now my music getting spins out in Barcelona
I built it then they all hopped on board like I was Noah
Now I'm eating every time I serve up a hook
Like I'm hosting dinner parties, I just needed time to cook
You see the same ones at my table when you look
And on my vacays I got the sun on me like I'm book
Those are for the dark days when it wasn't looking lit
And me and Zambie sharing clothes just to take a pic
Asking can he get his parents whip to see a chick
Minivan with my dawg like Scooby in this bitch
Way before I turned all these people to believers
I had to wait it out, would've thought that we were Libras
When me and Dave was racing just to see who get it cheaper
Here's the long story short, he's an overachiever
I like to reminisce but it ain't better than my recent days
Being broke had me insecure like I was Issa Rae
Guess I should be grateful for the fact that I can see the day
Cause I ain't catch a stray dog, I ain't SPCA
Had to beat the odds like my first name was Dorothy
I just bet on myself, who else gon' score for me
So I felt Calvin Ridley, now it's just more for me
Parlay with the bad bitches and you know I score for free
I ain't gon' lie, you had me feeling like a hurt dog
I just say my fault, knowing that it's her fault
You know I would Spin Bout U girl, guess it's her loss
She gon' spin the block cause her ways got her lost
I know time will tell, like he bad at keeping secrets
This is where I write my name, all up in the cement
That means that I'm here to stay, so that means that y'all leaving
And if you took offense, then I'm here to play some defense
Hope you take it personal, go ahead and call off
Outro's the last chance for me to get my thoughts off
Last chance to make you feel like you're about to fall off
We'll compare careers in 5 years and see who's all gone
