[Intro]
Gold grill grin
Sun on chrome
Dust on kicks
I built this home
[Verse 1]
I came from cracked tile floors
Late bus, long walks, sore feet, closed doors
Now it’s high-rise views, old shoes framed
Every crease in the leather like a last name
Mom packed leftovers in a coffee jar
Said “baby, every mile you walk is a car”
Now valet knows me by the stitch on my sleeve
Tip good, talk small, then I leave
[Chorus]
I’m too sharp for a small-time box
Whole life doing math on the locks
Blueprint brain in a beat-up coat
Turn doubt to a castle brick by quote
Sophisticated grind, well-thought plot
Every setback saved in a mental vault
I don’t chase what everybody else got
I design new lanes, let the copycats talk (let ’em talk)
[Verse 2]
I treat my temper like a boardroom vote
Count to ten, then I clean my throat
Walk from a fight that would stain my suit
Aim for the summit, not the dispute
Calendar packed, but my soul on pace
Keep one quiet friend that can call my face
If I ever start flexing more than I grow
He’ll pull up, windows down, say “bro… slow”
[Chorus]
I’m too sharp for a small-time box
Whole life doing math on the locks
Blueprint brain in a beat-up coat
Turn doubt to a castle brick by quote
Sophisticated grind, well-thought plot
Every setback saved in a mental vault
I don’t chase what everybody else got
I design new lanes, let the copycats talk (yeah, let ’em talk)
[Bridge]
I don’t rush what I want to last
Read the room, then I move right past
If it don’t add depth, then it’s dead weight, drop
If it don’t build peace, then it ain’t top crop
[Chorus]
I’m too sharp for a small-time box
Whole life doing math on the locks
Blueprint brain in a beat-up coat
Turn doubt to a castle brick by quote
Sophisticated grind, well-thought plot
Every setback saved in a mental vault
I don’t chase what everybody else got
I design new lanes, let the copycats talk (copycats talk)
