**NEXT UP**

Yeah
Ayy
Dark nights made a monster
Now they know what’s up
I was down in the dirt, had to build from the mud
They ain’t show me no love, now they showing me up
Everybody got a mouth when the pressure ain’t much
Put ’em under that heat, watch ’em fold, watch ’em run
I’m next up, better move when I step in
Black truck, dark tint, no question
Built tough, every scar was a lesson
Came from nothing, now my name got ’em stressing
I don’t talk, I apply that pressure
Cold heart, but my mind got better
Lost friends when I chased that cheddar
Now I walk through the rain like whatever
Whole squad eating, I don’t do crumbs
If it ain’t ’bout money, I’m playing dumb
They was laughing back then, now look who won
I was loading that pain, now the clip got drums
No sleep, I been plotting for days
Had to cut fake love, get ’em out of my way
Everybody wanna ride when the road get paved
Where was y’all when I barely had gas in the tank?
I remember cold nights, no heat in the room
Had dreams so big they ain’t fit in the gloom
Now I walk in the spot and they know what I do
I ain’t asking for a seat, I’m taking the room
Next up
Yeah, they know I’m next up
Chest out
I ain’t letting ’em press us
Head down
I was grinding through setbacks
Now every move that I make got a check attached
I got demons in the rearview chasing
But I’m too far gone, no brakes, no patience
Everybody tough ’til the whole room shaking
I don’t need validation, I need domination
Went broke, bounced back, that’s hustle
Got pain in my heart, got ice in my knuckles
Had to learn real quick who fold in the struggle
Now the money getting tall, had to double the duffle
I don’t flex for the net, that’s weak
I been working seven days every week
Talk slick, but they never compete
I put blood in the beat every time that I speak
This ain’t luck, I earned my position
Made fire out the worst conditions
They want smoke, but they scared of collision
I’m a problem walking in with ambition
Dark clouds hanging over my city
Still came out clean, still came out gritty
They ain’t wanna see the kid get litty
Now they throwing fake love, man, keep that pity
I’m next up, no debate, no question
Every loss turned into aggression
Every scar turned into a weapon
Every closed door taught me direction
I ain’t stopping ’til the whole gang rich
Same ones doubted wanna act like this
Nah, stay there, don’t switch that quick
I remember every laugh, every joke, every diss
Made myself, I don’t owe nobody
Walk in this game like I own the lobby
Black hoodie on, whole mood real grimy
Eyes bloodshot, but the vision still godly
They want war, I got hunger for years
I done walked through hell, I ain’t running from fear
Had tears in my eyes, never showed ’em in public
Turned pain into power, now everybody love it
Next up
Tell ’em clear that the wait done
Next up
I was built where the rain come
Next up
Every move got my name on
Came in dark, now I’m leaving with the game won
Ain’t no handouts, I took mine
Ain’t no shortcut, I climbed
Had a broke heart, tough mind
Now I’m standing at the front of the line
They can hate, they can talk, that’s cool
I was made in the fire, don’t play by the rules
If the crown got a price, I’m paying my dues
I’m next up—
Now tell me who the hell are you?
