[Verse 1]
Been so long since I floated in my zone (Woo)
Whole lotta thunder rumble in my dome (Okay)
I used to wanna sit up on the throne
Now I'm grown I just hope that I can take care of my own, and my
And my people need a man of action
A leader who can understand and show compassion
See, I been chasing dreams, plain to see the reality is
That it's only up to me to make it happen, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Grain by grain
Building castles in the sky with sands of time
Day by day
So until the day arrives, I'm standing by
Stay up out my way
Y'all should be about your business
(Why's that?) Because I will handle mine
[Chorus]
Every time I take the stand I got the jury tryna
Tell me what I represent, they ain't got the evidence
Still they tryna pin it on me, you can catch me in my
Off-brand everything, shining like a wedding ring
Bottom dollar, bet it on me, yeah, the jury tryna
Tell me what I represent, they ain't got the evidence
Still they tryna pin it on me, you can catch me in my
God damn element, grinding for the settlement
Kid, my fam depending on me
[Post-Chorus]
From the schoolyard to the jailhouse, to the jailhouse
Feel this shit like it was braille now, like it's braille now
Cheque be coming in the mail now, in the mail now
Ain't no way that I could fail now, hail now
[Verse 2]
Now all the listeners love me, I'm the one they believe in
All the movers is shaking and all the critics critiquing
All these rappers be caking, off the funk they be faking
Too many cooks in the kitchen keep everyone of us waiting
But I ain't taking no orders, prefer to give ‘em instead
I put the food on the table and then I pick up the cheque
Then I jet, hands off the wheel 'cause I gotta fix the rudder
Get us back on course, sailing storm water down the gutter and-a
And that thunder still rumbling in my dome (In my dome)
Inspiration strike like lighting then it's gone
Then it's back to handling business, can I please get a witness
Knowing my testimony ain't ever written in stone (Bang bang)
[Pre-Chorus]
Grain by grain
Building castles in the sky with sands of time
Day by day
So until the day arrives, I'm standing by
Stay up out my way
Y'all should be about your business
(Why's that?) Because I will handle mine
[Chorus]
Every time I take the stand I got the jury tryna
Tell me what I represent, they ain't got the evidence
Still they tryna pin it on me, you can catch me in my
Off-brand everything, shining like a wedding ring
Bottom dollar, bet it on me, yeah, the jury tryna
Tell me what I represent, they ain't got the evidence
Still they tryna pin it on me, you can catch me in my
God damn element, grinding for the settlement
Kid, my fam depending on me
[Outro]
Yeah
You know the whole fam dependent on you, right?
Go get 'em
