[Intro]
Yeah
Late check-in
We still up
[Verse 1]
Touchdown late, eyes heavy but I’m wired
Same crew with me from the jump, never hired
I don’t chase hype, I just chase my own fire
Talk cheap, I raise price, never tired
Whole block know, I been quiet, then I pop
Turn one into ten, make it flip, never flop
They was prayin’ that I quit, that I drop
I been prayin’ for my opps, still on top (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m the late check-in, they just tryna get in
Whole list full, they could never step in (step in)
Took the long road, still I came out blessin’
If they talk down, that’s a free lesson (uh)
I’m the late check-in, show up and it’s destined
Turn my pain cold, made it all precious (shine)
They don’t see the work, only see the necklace
I was in the dark, now I’m on their guest list (yeah)
[Verse 2]
I remember ramen in the pot, split in two
Now it’s double plates, double cups for the crew
They was never there when the rent came due
Now they wanna share in the wins I grew (nah)
Mom told me breathe, don’t fold, stand tall
Said if you gon’ dream, dream big or don’t call
So I put the fear in a box in the hall
Every time I walk by, I don’t look at it at all (ooh)
[Chorus]
I’m the late check-in, they just tryna get in
Whole list full, they could never step in (never)
Took the long road, still I came out blessin’
If they talk down, that’s a free lesson (yeah)
I’m the late check-in, show up and it’s destined
Turn my pain cold, made it all precious
They don’t see the work, only see the necklace
I was in the dark, now I’m on their guest list (on their guest list)
