2006 - Russ

I’m just tryna get my mind right

I did what I said I would, I got my mind right

I be squarin' up on doubt, like it’s on sight

The better part of me is tellin' me it’s alright, yeah

I’m just tryna get my mind right

I did what I said I would, I got my mind right

I be squarin' up on doubt, like it’s on sight

The better part of me is tellin' me it’s alright, yeah

This is '06 motives with 2010 potions

I ain’t have shit but my confidence in focus

Dice game, I’m rollin' 'til I get seven

Givin' hella eighteen, I’m smokin' 'til I reach heaven

Dropped out in the years that followed after

Couldn’t, made you think I should have stayed in school and finished

But 2016 became a multimillionaire rapper

Thank God I didn’t live accordin' to y’all’s vision

I never listen to anything but my gut

From fifty dollars a week to two hundred thousand a month

This is off my fables, top flight angels

My TuneCore is a top five label

Before the fame it manager your fingers

Stalkin' pictures on the wall like we were serial killers

Held the camera once or twice, and I edited it too

What I speak is from experience off every shoot

I’m just tryna get my mind right

I did what I said I would, I got my mind right

I be squarin' up on doubt, like it’s on sight

The better part of me is tellin' me it’s alright, yeah

I’m just tryna get my mind right

I did what I said I would, I got my mind right

I be squarin' up on doubt, like it’s on sight

The better part of me is tellin' me it’s alright, yeah

This is ten years, six careers, mastered by one

Watch your tone when you talk to me, these rappers are bums

When it comes to what I’m doing or rather how much

I am your whole team, you should respect me as such

'97 Nissans to McLarens with trunks in the front

I might pull up on my high school crush tryna fuck

Of course she is, make her walk barefooted in my house

I get the mouth when she sees the square footage, uh

I’m just playin' my cards, you would play 'em if you had 'em

Fourteen, makin' beats, friends laughin' at me

Askin' «What, you think you gon' be famous or somethin'?»

But I landed where I’m at 'cause I was aiming for something

Y’all were aiming for nothing, guess it’s fuck you for life

Even back then I felt like it was fuck your advice, damn

I been me, yes, all the above

Before the hate, before the love

Man, I always been Russ

I’m just tryna get my mind right

I did what I said I would, I got my mind right

I be squarin' up on doubt, like it’s on sight

The better part of me is tellin' me it’s alright, yeah

I’m just tryna get my mind right

I did what I said I would, I got my mind right

I be squarin' up on doubt, like it’s on sight

The better part of me is tellin' me it’s alright, yeah
