TUFF (feat. KNOWABOUTME & NC CARVER)

Yeah
Yeah
Aye
From blue collar to blue dollar, we been farther
Than the odometer inside my faux-impala
An empire built faster than hip-fire
Seen trials, inspired by all those who came prior, uh
Put me in the corner and I'll have to show hostility
Never pressured to the point I'd lose my sensibilities
Lack a dollar, I could never lose my cents abilities
Dropping any dead weight, have no need for liabilities
I got a small circle, I can bring into the Endgame
Way too many people, they be writing off my pen game
That's insane
Rhymes escaping out the homie's membrane
You fools are unfamiliar, I'm nothing like no-names
Only 2.1. Y. O.
But I feel way beyond
I been in it for a minute, but still far from gone
Get my foot in the door, if it's locked, I kick through it
If I ever take a loss then the arc ain't concluded
Gotta let them know, the boy is undeniable
I'll make a path by each and every single method viable
Never a gimmick, that's unreliable
I'll make it out of nothing so they know he's undeniable
Gotta let them know, the boy is undeniable
I'll make path by each and every single method viable
Never a gimmick, that's unreliable
I'll make it out of nothing so they know he's undeniable
I got all these accolades
Can't deny it, I'm defying
New to hype and used to silence
Used to hide, lose the fight, now I'm future-writing
Getting stronger everyday, Daft Punk decided
Back my talk in every way, no loose indictment
Eyes strained from the light, thumbs bruised from typing
Fail to fall to false claims, follow fewer frights
And I'm heightened in any way that you could liken
Might not like the attention, but my work is demanding it
I got fears of abandonment, so I stick with the beat
Go ahead, check my stamina, til the missions complete
Been standing long enough to know this shit is bigger than me
So take a picture, in hopes that it lasts longer
I'm past honor, I passed on it to pass on a song
The bigger picture made up of a thousand words and verses
I got some I need to act on, the last one, I'm gone
Hey!
Said I'll write my way out
Don't care for the pay out
Many people see journey, and somehow they still doubt
Stay in my lane, my route
Steady rising from ground
My heart moving to rhythm I create in my sounds
From "Pesos" to payments
to "Miles" and Mueller's
Carlito$ spitting more facts than supercomputers
I tell you "why" and I can answer the "what"
I'm unapologetic, cause I don't give a fuck
Under frames, trust my aim is precise
Too many people fail expecting major change overnight
I used to wait until the moment was right
I used to say "In Due Time," but now I know that it's mine
My time, my wish, my dream, my purpose
Still far from Magnum Opus of my verses
Still far from the pinnacle, But never feared of the distance
Carlito$ is eternal, I am more than just an instance
