[INTRO]
You think you know the game
But you playing checkers while I’m playing chess
There’s levels to this
Let me educate you
[VERSE 1]
See, there’s levels to this thing that most will never understand
There’s beginner, intermediate, advanced, and where I stand
Is somewhere in the stratosphere beyond your comprehension
Operating on a plane that requires different dimension
Of thinking, of processing, of executing the plan
You still learning how to walk, I’m teaching others how to ran
The marathon of excellence, the journey to the top
You celebrating minor wins, I’m building nonstop
Empire after empire, legacy on legacy
You worried about today, I’m planning seven centuries
Ahead into the future, chess moves while you play checkers
I’m building wealth and wisdom, you collecting simple pleasure
Temporary, fleeting, gone before you blink an eye
I’m constructing monuments that last beyond the sky
There’s levels to this hustle that you haven’t even seen yet
Floors you never knew existed, goals you haven’t dreamed yet
[CHORUS]
Levels to this, I’m operating way above your ceiling
Levels to this, it’s a completely different feeling
Levels to this, you can’t reach where I’m standing
Levels to this, requires different understanding
Levels to this, I’m playing a different game entirely
Levels to this, elevated perspective I see clearly
[VERSE 2]
You think you doing big things, that’s cute, that’s level one
I’m on level ninety-nine, still climbing, never done
Ascending to new heights that require oxygen tanks
You drowning in the shallow end, I’m swimming with the sharks
In deep water where only the elite survive and thrive
You memorizing basics, I’m teaching how to stay alive
In environments that crush the weak, that separate the real
From the pretenders, from the posers who just cop a feel
Of success but never own it, never truly understand
The sacrifice, the discipline, the master craftsman’s hand
That shapes reality from vision, that molds dreams into fact
You still talking about doing, I’m showing proven track
Record of accomplishment, of execution at the peak
Of human capability, I’m fluent, you still speak
In broken sentences of effort, I’m writing paragraphs of proof
There’s levels to this excellence, I’m standing on the roof
[BRIDGE]
Ground floor to penthouse, basement to the peak
Novice to the master, timid to the beast
There’s levels in between that most will never climb
I’m at the top looking down, it’s a matter of time
[OUTRO]
You can study what I do
You can try to replicate the moves
But there’s levels to this understanding
That only come with paying dues
I paid mine, I’m elevated
You still got levels to go
This ain’t arrogance, it’s awareness
Of the levels I know
