Livin' in a world so cold
Keep a nigga on ten toes
Where I'm headin', only Lord knows
Said, "I'm droppin' my top, throwin' on cruise control"

Thirty million by age thirty
Motivated to reach my goals, trust me, I ain't worried
'Bout weak-minded bitches and hoes, these low-life niggas
Who ain't got no self-control, I'm feelin' hungry and
They just ain't feedin' my soul, I had to let go
A lotta people that I really thought were there for me
Were just in my way, holdin' on the fact of what we used to be back in the day
Niggas ain't gon' meet me halfway, I ain't finna wait
Had to cut the dead weight just so I could elevate and levitate
Now lemme set the record straight
Every day, I meditate 'cause I'm the one they love to hate
Focus on the bigger picture, tryna find a better way
'Cause I ain't finna cut myself short
Money gettin' longer but happiness never been bought
The type of shit I'll teach to my daughter never was taught
To me, when I was younger, 'cause that shit wasn't even a thought

Livin' in a world so cold
Keep a nigga on ten toes
Where I'm headin', only Lord knows
Said, "I'm droppin' my top, throwin' on cruise control"
Livin' in a world so cold
Keep a nigga on ten toes
Where I'm headin', only Lord knows
Said, "I'm droppin' my top, throwin' on cruise control"

Droppin' my top, throwin' on cruise control
Droppin' my top, throwin' on cruise control

It was all a dream, came in this at seventeen
Me and my Pro Era team focused on the better things
Tryna stack cheddar, C.R.E.A.M. rule everything, uh
Foot up on the pedal and never settlin', uh
Full steam ahead and I'm ten-year veteran
How you figure? Name a nigga that I ain't better than
My flow iller, still, it's the cure like medicine, the cold killer
Glock's up, decide to let him in by Pro Era
I swear this shit couldn't be more clearer
It's like I'm lookin' through a whole mirror
I could see the vision so I live like it's my last day
And everything I want just tryna meet me halfway
I try to stay calm but niggas tryna blast me
The ski mask wave lookin' for a fast pace, so I stay
On the alarm, 'cause I ain't tryna go the fast way
It's a marathon, you can't treat it like a drag race

Yo, what's your name again?
I know you from where?
High school?
I don't know you, man
Loser

Livin' in a world so cold
Keep a nigga on ten toes
Where I'm headin', only Lord knows
Said, "I'm droppin' my top, throwin' on cruise control"
Livin' in a world so cold
Keep a nigga on ten toes
Where I'm headin', only Lord knows
Said, "I'm droppin' my top, throwin' on cruise control"

Droppin' my top, throwin' on cruise control
Droppin' my top, throwin' on cruise control
