(Yeah)
(Uh)
(Real talk)
They hatin' on the come up, watchin' from the bleachers (c'mon)
That means my hustle's workin', I'm teachin' the teachers (that's right)
They see the moves I'm makin', the power I'm buildin' (they see it)
Tryna throw dirt on my name, but the foundation's chillin' (uh-huh)
Used to let the words get to me, the whispers of the weak
But now I hear that noise and it just makes my spirit speak
It's a testament to progress, a sign you're movin' right
They can't stand to see you shinin' in the broad daylight.
Yeah... keep goin'... they talkin'... uh...
Nobody throws shade at someone who ain't doing nothin'
The hate is confirmation, that's what I keep frontin' (uh-huh)
You on the right path, don't you ever dare turn back
Every shot they take is just another known fact (that's a fact)
You're a threat to they comfort, a challenge to they small world
They uncomfortable with the flag that you've unfurled (yeah)
So let 'em talk, let 'em chatter, let 'em run they mouth
While you stackin' up your kingdom, movin' north from the south.
Movin' up... that's the truth... yeah...
(Bridge)
You ain't buildin' for approval, you buildin' for power
Watchin' 'em get nervous, minute after hour (they scared)
You ain't worried 'bout no applause, just the progress of the soul
This is bigger than a status, this is you takin' control
Don't fold 'cause they uncomfortable with the way you rise
Stay focused on the vision, look 'em straight in the eyes.
Lookin' 'em dead in the eyes... Boss Vision... yeah...
Real ones don't stop when the noise gets loud (never)
They just keep on marchin' through the thickest crowd (c'mon)
They take that animosity, that doubt, that whole mess
And turn it into fuel to reach for true success (uh-huh)
It's a mental fortitude, a spirit made of steel
You use they negativity to make your dreams for real
So let 'em be mad, let 'em stew in they own hate
While you just keep on climbin', seals your own fate.
Yeah... your own fate... turnin' it up... that's right... a real one.
