Mychelle Lee - Letterman

School of hard knocks

On a mission to get it and
Bring it to fruition
These youngin's trippin
They don't know who
Gets the recognition
They be pretending
Like it's make believe
Got 'em concealing both they faces
With that photoshop and Maybeline
Laid up feet up, eating from
They silver spoon
While we chillin
Eating noodles in the living room
Running on fumes, on the grind
Tryna reach a dream
Tryna get ahead so the dream is out chasing me
Go getter mentality
Flow up out the galaxy
Luke Kane the beat
Go and check the fatality
Crawled before I took steps
It happened kind of gradually
Chopped it up and cooled it off
Before ingesting casually
Daddy said be patient aint nothing
Worth it is easy
That overnight is cool
'Til you peak before your season
This chess it isn't checkers
You a queen, not a pawn
Go ahead and make your move
Do what you do (uh!)

This ain't a game but a new testament
Wrote up my proposal and it's time
To make an estimate
Throw all your investments in
This different kind of specimen
Shaking up the scale
Make you recount all your measurements
Moving in position pay attention
Watch me work it out
I just hope you listening with two ears
Not an opened mouth
Been a long road
Taking cues on where I'm going now
Even if they black ball I ain't never
Bowing down (alright now)
Battle scared veteran, skin covered like melanin
School of hard knocks graduated with a letterman
Who you think you better than
Better go and get your medicine
'Cuz yo I'm bout as sick
Bout as sick as my intestines been
That don't stop no show
I hope you know
And listen loud and clear
Even in the distance
I'm way closer than what I appear
Look up to the heavens
Get a glimpse of where it's coming from
It's only the beginning
These the makings of a champion

Can't say I lack the heart
When it's beating on these bars
Mosaics from these scars
I'm saying, we beating odds
Destined like apocalypse winters
Dog, and it's too cold
Out to raise the threshold
While you focused on your dresscode
That's too much on my mental
I ain't even bout to stress
Got these buttons on my heart
That these youngins wanna press
Said it, mean I meant it
It's mine and Imma defend it
Took a break to handle mine
And I promise it's been a sec
Came back like resurrect
Two times I never left
What you expect
When the highest of highest
Is your connect
See I learned a while ago
That I was here for something greater
You ain't liking what I dish
You can go and find the waiter
'Cuz shorty serve her own
You can best believe I does it
And I get it from my Abba
I don't put nothing above it
Best believe it's heaven sent
And the benevolence is two fold
Enough to put this thang
In a chokehold
