After Hours - NOBODY BETTER

I remember from a young age I was taught to use my heart
I be thinking bout the opps, while they to tear me apart
Cuz they be hating from a distance, shooting they clip of lies
Reloading with hatred, I can see it inside they eyes, uh
Intimidated by the person I am
Cuz I've been the greatest to do it, and I will say it again
I've been the greatest to ever do it, and you can go tell a friend
I am the greatest to ever do it, and I
(Y'all keep on playing with me)
They be mad when I be taking home the bag, uh
Hard work, dedication, nothing that you had, uh
Eat from my work, I built a house from the sand, uh
Take all I got, I hope that you can use them better than me
Nobody like me, they don't come with all this power
But they don't see the struggle, only see the flower
I put the seconds, minutes, I put the hours
Come take it all, I don't know nobody who better than me
I knew my destiny ever since I encountered fate
I played my role, I did my time, I gave my time of day
I've written stories, written worlds, I wrote the pain away
You can't compare to me even when you concentrate
I've been that person that you wish you could imitate
I've been the standard, but y'all can't even rise to the plate
I go for gold, I go for more, never hesitate
So watch y'all fold when I blow up and you see my face
On a thousand billboards, add a thousand more, I go for broke
Talking on my talent, but I know that they taking notes
I've been the top dog for a reason, but they sleeping on the boy
So I wake em up to a killing, cuz it's murder that I wrote, uh
Take another minute, take another second, I don't care
Take another shot, add another bullet, if you dare
I swear you gon need it, I swear that you gon fail
Killing off my legacy, c'mon, let's see how you fare, uh
They be mad when I be taking home the bag, uh
Hard work, dedication, nothing that you had, uh
Eat from my work, I built a house from the sand, uh
Take all I got, I hope that you can use them better than me
Nobody like me, they don't come with all this power
But they don't see the struggle, only see the flower
I put the seconds, minutes, I put the hours
Come take it all, I don't know nobody who better than me
Always been chasing a bag
Chasing the cash
Where is it flowing, uh
Always been changing the facts
I be challenging everything you thought you knew
I never had to stress, I never had anybody compete with me
Always been best in the world
But I've been hidden away 'til recently, uh
Tired of being the shadow
Tired of being the odd one out
Tired of being in silence
So I think I'll try to yell it out
Let them have havoc
Destruction in the air
Destroy the lame ass rappers who think they compare
Anxious eyes, I look into the past and future
Stressed out gaze, I be hoping that it come sooner
Heavy heart, my words, my dreams, you a consumer
Take all I got, I hope that you can use them better than me
I reach my hand out, only grab it if you want to
In my palm is a lie that you can not see through
On my fingers is a truth you can't deny
You either live out your dreams or you can die tryna fly
Anxious eyes, I look into the past and future
Stressed out gaze, I be hoping that it come sooner
Heavy heart, my words, my dreams, you a consumer
Take all I got, I hope that you can use them better than me
I reach my hand out, only grab it if you want to
In my palm is a lie that you can not see through
On my fingers is a truth you can't deny
You either live out your dreams or you can die tryna fly
