[Hook]
Run it back, yeah they slept but I’m wide awake
Started with a dream and a phone with a cracked face
They say “slow down,” I just hit another fast lane
If it don’t make money or sense, I can’t translate
Run it back, I remember nights with no heat
Now the same ones tapping in, want a front-row seat
I was down bad, now it’s all-time peaks
From the mud to the throne, yeah the code runs deep
[Verse 1]
I was broke with the vision, rich in imagination
Every loss was a lesson, every win was a calibration
They was laughing at the plans, I was patient
Now they asking “how you do it?” like it happened overnight— it didn’t
I put miles on my soul, wear scars like chains
Turn pain into profit, that’s alchemy, mane
I don’t flex for the camera, I flex for the kid
Who was praying for a chance, now he actually lives
[Pre-Hook]
Mama said “be humble,” I stayed ten toes
But I still want the roof and the rose-gold doors
If they doubted me then, that’s cool, that’s old
I just keep receipts in case they forget what I wrote
[Hook]
Run it back, yeah they slept but I’m wide awake
Started with a dream and a phone with a cracked face
They say “slow down,” I just hit another fast lane
If it don’t make money or sense, I can’t translate
Run it back, I remember nights with no heat
Now the same ones tapping in, want a front-row seat
I was down bad, now it’s all-time peaks
From the mud to the throne, yeah the code runs deep
[Verse 2]
I don’t chase validation, I chase freedom
I don’t need a cosign, I believe ‘em— myself
Whole lotta wolves in designer sheepskin
I move quiet, let the numbers do the speaking
They copy the drip but they don’t get the source
I took every L, turned ‘em straight into force
If the road get dark, I don’t beg for a torch
I spark it myself, now the flame get endorsed
[Bridge]
Look—
If they love me or hate me, it pay me the same
I was built for the pressure, engraved in the frame
No gimmicks, no cap, no games
Just timing, alignment, and aim
[Hook – Final]
Run it back, yeah they slept but I’m wide awake
Now my name in they mouth like a headline break
I don’t need luck, I create my fate
If the vision too big, that’s a great mistake
Run it back, let ‘em watch me rise
I been betting on me, I don’t roll the dice
From the mud to the throne, read the whole damn page
This ain’t just a song—this a moment in flames
[Outro]
Yeah…
They gon’ feel this one in the car, in the gym, in the late nights.
Run it back.
