Cruise Control

Livin' in a world so cold

Keep a nigga on ten toes

Where I'm headin', only Lord knows

Said, "I'm droppin' my top, throwin' on cruise control"

Thirty million by age thirty

Motivated to reach my goals, trust me, I ain't worried

'Bout weak-minded bitches and hoes, these low-life niggas

Who ain't got no self-control, I'm feelin' hungry and

They just ain't feedin' my soul, I had to let go

A lotta people that I really thought were there for me

Were just in my way, holdin' on the fact of what we used to be back in the day

Niggas ain't gon' meet me halfway, I ain't finna wait

Had to cut the dead weight just so I could elevate and levitate

Now lemme set the record straight

Every day, I meditate 'cause I'm the one they love to hate

Focus on the bigger picture, tryna find a better way

'Cause I ain't finna cut myself short

Money gettin' longer but happiness never been bought

The type of shit I'll teach to my daughter never was taught

To me, when I was younger, 'cause that shit wasn't even a thought

Livin' in a world so cold

Keep a nigga on ten toes

Where I'm headin', only Lord knows

Said, "I'm droppin' my top, throwin' on cruise control"

Livin' in a world so cold

Keep a nigga on ten toes

Where I'm headin', only Lord knows

Said, "I'm droppin' my top, throwin' on cruise control"

Droppin' my top, throwin' on cruise control

Droppin' my top, throwin' on cruise control

It was all a dream, came in this at seventeen

Me and my Pro Era team focused on the better things

Tryna stack cheddar, C.R.E.A.M. rule everything, uh

Foot up on the pedal and never settlin', uh

Full steam ahead and I'm ten-year veteran

How you figure? Name a nigga that I ain't better than

My flow iller, still, it's the cure like medicine, the cold killer

Glock's up, decide to let him in by Pro Era

I swear this shit couldn't be more clearer

It's like I'm lookin' through a whole mirror

I could see the vision so I live like it's my last day

And everything I want just tryna meet me halfway

I try to stay calm but niggas tryna blast me

The ski mask wave lookin' for a fast pace, so I stay

On the alarm, 'cause I ain't tryna go the fast way

It's a marathon, you can't treat it like a drag race

Yo, what's your name again?

I know you from where?

High school?

I don't know you, man

Loser

Livin' in a world so cold

Keep a nigga on ten toes

Where I'm headin', only Lord knows

Said, "I'm droppin' my top, throwin' on cruise control"

Livin' in a world so cold

Keep a nigga on ten toes

Where I'm headin', only Lord knows

Said, "I'm droppin' my top, throwin' on cruise control"

Droppin' my top, throwin' on cruise control

Droppin' my top, throwin' on cruise control
