Double down

Intro (spoken)

Marathon mind, long game energy — double down, never fold.

Verse 1

Laid the foundation while they watch the mirrors gleam,

paper routes to portfolios, flip a dream to steam.

Every loss a lesson, every scar a ledger line,

I count returns in kids fed, blocks blessed over time.

Neighbors see the Chevy, I see equity in streets,

reinvest the profits, plant libraries, plant eats.

No shortcuts, slow steps, watch the compound grow,

what you see today is the seed I used to sow.

Pre-Chorus

They bet on quick fame, I bet on compounding months,

watch me move silent, let the numbers do the fronts.

Chorus

I double down, double down — put my life where my plans at,

double down, double down — take a loss and flip the hand back.

I double down, double down — legacy over fast cash,

I double down, double down — marathon steady, never crash.

Verse 2

Told 'em I was broke rich in vision, wealth outside the bank,

built a brand from block wisdom, turned a corner into thanks.

Contracts on the table, culture in the blueprint inked,

youngins in the cipher learning how to mind what they think.

If the roof start leaking, we fix it with community ties,

not just trophies in the case — homes, roofs, futures rise.

When temptation whisper fast money, I keep slow respect,

every brick I lay today becomes the city’s architect.

Pre-Chorus

Legacy ain’t selfies, it’s schools and steady food,

it’s making sure the next man’s hustle starts from better roots.

Chorus

I double down, double down — put my life where my plans at,

double down, double down — take a loss and flip the hand back.

I double down, double down — legacy over fast cash,

I double down, double down — marathon steady, never crash.

Bridge (spoken / low)

All in, no bailout — invest where it matters,

time is the currency, patience makes it fatter.

Bring your people with you, that’s the only math that lasts,

double down on love, on work, on the past with class.

Breakdown (rap flow picks up)

Count the nights I stayed up, count the meals I gave away,

count the doors unlocked for a kid who lost his way.

I coulda sold the story for a headline, chose the long route,

chose to seed a block with black-owned shops, watch the drought flout.

Hustle ain’t a rumor, it’s a deed you physically lace,

my return on investment is the pride on my face.

Chorus (lift)

I double down, double down — put my life where my plans at,

double down, double down — take a loss and flip the hand back.

I double down, double down — legacy over fast cash,

I double down, double down — marathon steady, never crash.

Outro (spoken, over fading beat)

Double down on what feeds ya soul, not just your pockets —

that’s how a city eat good. Marathon forever.

Porque music

See you when I see you
