VERSE 1
My minds focused on profits
Throw my thoughts into a pot and
Stir it up until it rocks then
Wrap it up and get it off quick
Temptations in my view try to blind me
Thinking of a better life reminds me
To work hard not waste time reclining
Then I'll elevate to a state where you can't find me
You can't deter me from the path I set
Gotta keep going regardless how bad it get
Use my time right with good management
Ain't taking no losses cuz I plan to win
I'm a go hard till my last breath running laps
with my raps till your past tense
Now your gasping trying to pass me
you can practice and come with your best
but true skill is what you lacking so just rest
CHORUS
I keep an eye on my surroundings cuz there's traitors and snakes around me
I'm rising up till they crown me If I lose focus it can drown me X2
I'm fightin off the temptations
VERSE 2
My thoughts centered on winning
It's too easy to be distracted by women
and spending all my money on fine linen
Can't get lost in it or I'll be finished
So I get my mind back to the mission
of getting my life to where I envision
my circle in a higher standard of living
where they ain't struggling or slipping
And you can hate on that but I'll lay ya flat
I spit these bars like straps when I lay down tracks
Make it flip like packs then I count them racks
Eating you rappers like snacks all ya rhymes are wack
Ain't no stoppin I'm a keep it rocking
Checkin all my profits Failure's not an option
On a mill I'm plottin Rising to the top and
I'm staying focused like I'm locked in
When I walk in They watching
CHORUS
I keep an eye on my surroundings cuz there's traitors and snakes around me
I'm rising up till they crown me If I lose focus it can drown me X2
I'm fightin off the temptations
VERSE 3
I keep a blind eye to the distractions
Only trusting those in my faction
Workin hard no time to be relaxin
Gotta stay focused on transactions
Make music then add to the track list
Flip it all then I'm shipping off the package
If you talk about it be about that action
Straight killin rappers like an assassin
I gas em then move up the chain
Every goal that I've set I'm a go obtain
Even if I struggle no pain no gain
And I keep my eyes open cuz the lanes can change
Stayin on my mission Focused on my vision
Moneys my addiction Gotta stay ambitious
Get my target with precision So you know i'm never missing
listen to the rhythm It'll get you lifted
CHORUS
I keep an eye on my surroundings cuz there's traitors and snakes around me
I'm rising up till they crown me If I lose focus it can drown me X2
I'm fightin off the temptations
I'm fightin off the temptations there ain't no time to be wastin
