Alright now, alright now

God has a plan for you

And all you′ve got to do is believe, believe, believeYeah

Shit gon' get hard, keep your head strong

If I quit now, then I′m dead wrong

Fighting off this hunger for hours

Big stepper, nigga, don't get stepped on

The money might fade, but respect don't

Still gon′ be me when success gone

I don′t speak the language of cowards

I walk through the flame like I'm Teflon

I sucked up the pain and I kept going

Whole world know my name, bitch, my rep strong

We sold out in less than a hour

These words I still sang like I′m slept on

I sin, so I can't cast the next stone

Unless it′s baguettes 'round my neck bone

Inside of my frame lies a power

You can′t get this game from no TED Talk

I wanna know if they understand me

I put it all on A, ain't no plan B

Hoping all this weight ain't gon′ drown me

Fucked around, got grey hairs already

Running up the stairs on a tower

Running up these M′s by the hour

If I drop a gem, money showers

When you get your taste, they get sour

Shit gon' get hard, keep your head strong (just keep your head strong)

The money might fade, but respect don′t (the ultimate price is regret now)

Still gon' be me when success gone (still gon′ be me)

Big stepper, nigga, don't get stepped on (ah-ah-ah)

Waiting my turn like grains of sand inside a hourglass

Mainly concerned back in the day with how long I would last

Make a few thousand dollars stack with every hour passed

I catch you playing inside my lane and I′ma foul your ass

Put the whole game on top my back, don't need no chiropract'

They calling me young PWC, I got my power back

Ain′t fucking around, beefing with me gon′ get you hollered at

Niggas can't see me one-on-one, that′s word to Kyla Pratt

You hitting them weights, congratulations 'cause you built something

You taking a lot of boxing lessons, but you still pussy

I see right through you niggas just like 2Pac hologram

Ain′t doing Coachella, booking me gon' be a lot of Ms

I′m feeling myself, I'm building my wealth up 'til it′s towering

I put my tongue all in my bitch, she get to hollering

I ain′t doing no dirt no more, I stopped creeping six years ago

Fun fucking them hoes, until you realize that you is the hoe

Shit gon' get hard, keep your head strong

If I quit now, then I′m dead wrong

Fighting off this hunger for hours

Big stepper, nigga, don't get stepped on

The money might fade, but respect don′t

Still gon' be me when success gone

I don′t speak the language of cowards

I walk through the flame like I'm Teflon

Can't be afraid of sunlight (sunlight) spotlights when it glows (it glows)

All the pain you hold makes you worth your weight in gold

Can′t be afraid of sunlight (sunlight) spotlights when it glows (it glows)

All the pain you hold makes you worth your weight in gold

God has a plan for you

And all you′ve got to do is believe, believe, be...
