MoneyNetwork - Playing In Sand

It takes talent to balance the crown and chalice
Sit on top of the throne and still stand up to every challenge
Niggas could wish me dead and I'll walk around with no malice
You claiming that you King but still paying rent at the palace
I know this life get harder than what you bargained for
Pardon my smoke
But if I harbored the hate you have for me
I think I'd choke
It ain't no secret I'm dope
I put in work and you don't
That's why I don't believe in half of the things you say that you want
See I get paid and you don't
Word is the prophecy
I hustle
You be on Facebook playing monopoly
You rush
I take my time and plan it out properly
You address the hate
My address I own with the property
Check
You do your best to finesse and cap for the come up
I do my best it's simple as that and the numbers run up
I hustle till the sun go down and start when the sun up
These niggas want the game on the business I tell 'em nun ya
Don't wanna son ya
I Just want the numbers
I Just want the commas
You can keep all the dramas
The greatest weapon is a thought and a plan
And I been planning for the top since you was playing in sand
It's struggle to hold the crown and be humble
Handle challenges patiently always ready to rumble
Keep some cash in a bundle in case I slip up or stumble
Be careful kneading the dough cuz the toughest cookies can crumble
The tightest grippers can fumble
I seen it before
I open doors for folk who turn around and ask me for more
But I read the play like a kindle
Represent like a symbol
I rap what's really real so I don't have to pretend to
I don't care what you been through
I don't know what you into
You overstepping boundaries and I don't think you intend to
Just know that I will end you
You and your next of kin too
You can get filled with lead and I don't think that you're a pencil
That chalk outline can turn you into a stencil
Get hands placed on your I promise it isn't gentle
The greatest weapon is a thought and a plan
I been planning for the top since you was playing in sand
