Let’s have a little conversation about currency.

Not the paper. The pedigree.

You let my name fall out your mouth like it’s loose change

Familiarity’s a privilege you ain’t arranged

Been watchin’ you summarize my whole damn story

In a condescending sentence, takin’ inventory

Of my wins like you had ‘em on your fuckin’ wishlist

It’s the patronizing tone, yeah, that’s the plot twist

See, I paid my dues in sweat, not in soundbites

Worked through dead-of-winter days and sleepless town nights

My mind ain’t a map you can trace, it’s a climate

A whole ecosystem, bitch, you couldn’t time it

So when you speak to me, check the vocal pitch

I ain't your lil' project, your come-up, your niche

Don’t just say my name, you better weigh the name

Feel the gravity, the history, the flame

This ain't a game, stay in your lane

Don't just say my name, nah, you better weigh the name

Respect isn’t given, I know, it’s acquired

And my portfolio’s lookin’ more than admired

It's a chemical reaction when I’m in the room

A quiet shift in the pressure, dispellin’ the gloom

You see the destination, you ignore the voyage

Talkin’ like you get the art, but you just hear the noise

I'm the main course, you’re still discussin’ the garnish

My body of work is stone, yours is cheap varnish

You want a hot take? My success is your crisis

I’m a market correction that exposes the prices

Of cheap talk and opinions you lease by the hour

While my legacy’s freehold, a goddamn tower of power

Don’t just say my name, you better weigh the name

Feel the gravity, the history, the flame

This ain't a game, stay in your lane

Don't just say my name, nah, you better weigh the name

This ain’t a tantrum, it's a clarification

A final notice before your account’s cancellation

Took all the condescension, all the sideways praise

And turned that bitter medicine to fuel for brighter days

The throne wasn’t gifted, I smelted the gold myself

Built the whole damn kingdom with nobody’s help

So this ain’t a request, it’s the new state of affairs

The debate’s been settled, the jury’s been home for years

Don’t just say my name, you better weigh the name

Feel the gravity, the history, the flame

This ain't a game, stay in your lane

Don't just say my name, nah, you better weigh the name

Put it on the scale.

Go ahead.
