(Intro)
Yeah... Chief in the building.
Look up to the sky, I’m praying to the higher beings.
Activate my switch.
Turn it on.
Make me an animal.
(Verse 1)
Because this world that I live in right now? It’s twisted.
Into a world that don’t make no sense, it’s shifted.
So I asked you to make me a beast for a reason,
'Cause it’s time to take the game, yeah, it’s my season.
You asked me do I want to be an Alpha?
Nah, I need something stronger than that.
I want to be the one and only, standing where the crown is at.
Understand my word is the last word, the final decree,
Either you're on my team, or you're not on my team, there's no in-between.
Either you're f***ing with me, or you're not f***ing with me, make a choice,
I’m silencing the doubt, drowning out the extra voice.
(Chorus)
I said f*** all the arguments and f*** all the beef,
I don't got time for that, I’m the Chief.
I'm trying to get to the bag, trying to get my team rich,
Trying to get my people rich, flipping the switch.
Trying to get out the hood, trying to break the chains,
Through the blood, the sweat, and the stains.
(Verse 2)
Some people say, "Chief, you out the hood already,"
But the mentality is not out yet, it keeps the hands heavy.
Even though m************ get on my nerves every day,
I’m trying to circle back, trying to find a better way.
'Cause I know everybody needs to eat, we all want a piece,
But it’s a gift and a curse, and the pressure don't cease.
It’d be so much better if I just looked out for me,
And said f*** everybody else, and just let it be.
But yet again, I grew up listening to that, seeing that all the time,
Trapped in the cycle, stuck in the crime.
I said I was going to break the cycle, I made a vow,
And I’m keeping that promise right now.
(Bridge)
Everybody's telling me I can't break the cycle, it’s a lie,
They want to see me fail, want to see the vision die.
They saying, "You can't do it, Chief, just let it go,"
But there’s a fire in my soul they don't even know.
(Outro)
F*** that. My name is Chief.
Don't say I can't break the cycle.
Don't say I can't do this s***.
I'm going to do it one way or another.
Doesn't matter if it kills me.
Chief in the building.
The one and only!!!!
(Beat fades out with heavy breathing and a final heartbeat slam)
