Finally found a place that made me smile (uh-huh)

But the whispers start creeping through the hall (through the hall, uh)

Fake faces watching, waiting for me to fall (nah, nah)

Dreams bigger than the gossip they keep (keep talking)

I’m on my grind, steady stacking my peace (stack it up)

They hate ‘cause they stuck, can’t move their feet (no way)

I stay free, nothing fake—just me (woo)

Talking behind backs, tryna steal energy (energy, woo)

They can’t break what they can’t see (nah, nah)

So I just… be me (woo, woo)

Everybody chasing titles, chasing checks (chasing checks, ayy)

But lose themselves, all respect (facts, uh)

I’d rather build slow, pride in my step (yeah)

Than be fake like the ones who flex (nah, nah)

They watching what you wear, what you do, who you know (who you know)

But none of that matter when your spirit glow (spirit glow, yeah)

Jealousy loud, but my soul stay low (low, low)

God on my side, that’s all I need though (let’s go, woo)
