Beat The Odds Lyrics

I know your bae watch and I ain't even Hasselhoff

I just send a text, I ain't even have to call

Came a long way from who you saw up in the halls

Life ran its course and I don't even play golf

If it come to it, shit, I'll go and put a hole in one

I shine bright but I ain't my mother's only son

What you think they would do, when they know I'm the chosen one

Trynna make a mil but I'm not trynna be the only one

Trynna put us all on, feel like it's been prolonged

Feeling like an operator, I'm the one they call on

When it's shaky, hate to tell them just to go and hold on

Have to stay grounded, I'm the one they all fall on

Broski in the hole, he can't even see the hallways

Something like a vulture, it's been eating at me all day

We can't even talk, it's audibles when he call plays

Might not hear his voice until the seasons just all change

Best advice he ever gave me was to never stop

Cause now I got the music and the clothes they wanna cop

Like the New Year's countdown, they wait for me to drop

And I imagined this when I was in a bucket like a mop

Back when me and Justin was making all these quick flips

Had to go and re-up, wasn't nothing but a quick trip

Now we trynna boss up, get up on some rich shit

And I got more arms in the crib than some triplets

These days you know you can just never play it too safe

They'll try and wet you up, like they Bobby Boucher

Go and leave you pale-faced, all over a blue face

It be bothering me all day like a toothache

Driving with the heat like it's middle of the winter

Before I'm turned an angel, I'm a turn into a sinner

If you grew up eating butter noodles for dinner

You know it don't get better, unless you're a winner

Take a look behind the veil, you'll see just why I am

And everything around me made me everything I am

I'm getting lost up in the smoke like a fireman

But still I focus on the S's like I'm at an eye exam

I was down super bad, felt like I was Jonah

Kept my foot up on the gas like I'm at Daytona

Now my music getting spins out in Barcelona

I built it then they all hopped on board like I was Noah

Now I'm eating every time I serve up a hook

Like I'm hosting dinner parties, I just needed time to cook

You see the same ones at my table when you look

And on my vacays I got the sun on me like I'm book

Those are for the dark days when it wasn't looking lit

And me and Zambie sharing clothes just to take a pic

Asking can he get his parents whip to see a chick

Minivan with my dawg like Scooby in this bitch

Way before I turned all these people to believers

I had to wait it out, would've thought that we were Libras

When me and Dave was racing just to see who get it cheaper

Here's the long story short, he's an overachiever

I like to reminisce but it ain't better than my recent days

Being broke had me insecure like I was Issa Rae

Guess I should be grateful for the fact that I can see the day

Cause I ain't catch a stray dog, I ain't SPCA

Had to beat the odds like my first name was Dorothy

I just bet on myself, who else gon' score for me

So I felt Calvin Ridley, now it's just more for me

Parlay with the bad bitches and you know I score for free

I ain't gon' lie, you had me feeling like a hurt dog

I just say my fault, knowing that it's her fault

You know I would Spin Bout U girl, guess it's her loss

She gon' spin the block cause her ways got her lost

I know time will tell, like he bad at keeping secrets

This is where I write my name, all up in the cement

That means that I'm here to stay, so that means that y'all leaving

And if you took offense, then I'm here to play some defense

Hope you take it personal, go ahead and call off

Outro's the last chance for me to get my thoughts off

Last chance to make you feel like you're about to fall off

We'll compare careers in 5 years and see who's all gone
