Lyrics
INTRO: I maneuver very aware That’s part of being prepared Gimme any beat with a snare And I’ll get ‘em beat and ensnared This the story of the tortoise and the hare That’s something to keep in mind For any beating me there Apples and oranges to even try to compare Elaboration in store My fruit’s coming to bear This parable that I’m quoting The parallels quite apparent I’ll paint a picture with brush strokes Canvas VERSE 1: Rabbit went fast Phone call got him hopping out the f**king lab Hе just E-signed and did some numbers on thеy a** 50k Advance, he gone get it all in cash He just hit his partner, said that he made 50 bands All it took was signing off on 85 percent Now with 15 songs delivered he ain’t even make a dent Contemplating bout his living situation and his rent But to him it’s feeding his ego Get validation from people Perception of being on Feel like heroin via needle Inner circle full of yes men A blue check And now he think that he set But he won’t get a piece yet Nahh He’s jaded And frequently getting faded The single that got him signed, they want him to recreate it Inspiration is missing Excuses done got him fishing He blaming it on the system But still in the same position But nobody made him sign that sh*t He was happy when he inked the dotted line back then This the story of the tortoise and the hare That’s something to keep in mind For any beating me there b*t*h HOOK: Run fast you stupid motherf**ker You better run You better run You better run You better run VERSE 2: Turtle done went slow A decade of dedication A struggle they ain’t know I navigated the business Through trials and tribulations Unwavered in my belief in myself to achieve greatness Learned every skill to be self-sufficient Frequently exercise ‘em so they’re remaining proficient Vertically integrated Horizontally too Formed a media company to leverage other pursuits Compounding effect with views Catalog getting deeper They counted me out initially Now they wanting a feature Consistent, frequent rewards 6 figures up on the board And full creative control A life they couldn’t afford Happier than a b*t*h And answer to nobody You do twice the numbers I do But still you a nobody And I know you never netted Perpetually indebted Your took off the line fast But ain’t know where you were headed Every decision made Was calculated in nature Educated myself and elevated my paper This the story of the tortoise and the hare That’s something to keep in mind For any beating me there b*t*h HOOK: Run fast you stupid motherf**ker You better run You better run You better run You better run
