JQuest whatup…Ugh huh Always had the mindset that I’m on, My vision is from this mindstone You see me shinin’ with elite rhymin’ I write divine poems, with all the intent To be mind blowin’, Word to Elzh- I advise You witness my growth at a speed That’ll inspire Nick to recite quotes I Wrote in my notepad with the spiral On the side binded, weathered storms Like my baby mama is Ororo Munroe I’m T’Challa, check the climate...I’m a horse on this track sides blinded, thoroughbred focused on the goal ahead my success story is much More than gettin’ hold of the golden egg, Meditatin’ with the folded legs centerin’ Myself, was once mentally tapped should’ve Tapped into a center for help, masked it, Got lost on buildin’ for wealth, before that It was rappin’ tryin’ to appeal to the masses Definitely longevity, tryin’ to get to be forever Lastin’, number on a banner in the rafters after It’s said and done, second to none, one of one, I’m probably on the hundred one as far as runs Shinin’ above the others I belong amongst The sun, not Ahmir but it’s obviously Clear what I’ve done to drums with the lyrics Here lend an ear...time taken craftin’, y’all on The field dashin’, but the finish line’s far from here... what a year I’m leer fly ever since knee High I’m beanstalk tier, listen

Ice in my veins Not afraid the moment.. The clock dwindles down Every second seems dormant Drenched from sweat pouring.. Look at my defender, pretender Can’t stop me from scoring. Had an off game This my stage for atonement.. Locked in focused.. Yeah boy I’m zoning.. This all that wanted.. This all that needed.. Heart Check, Gut Check.. Won’t be defeated… I run through obstacles.. Believe I can do the impossible.. Couple thousand fans all mocking you Neutral site divided.. They win some will riot.. Until I call game now all I hear is silence… What you gon’ do when it’s crunch time, When the pressure is on, is it enough time, Are you gon rise up on the frontline Act on it ‘cause the clock’s goin’ Watch goin’ like tick tick What you gon’ do when it’s crunch time, When the pressure is on, is it enough time, Are you gon rise up on the frontline Act on it ‘cause the clock’s goin’ Watch goin’ like tick tick Relentless work ethic, it’s dna embedded, fully nested, big payback, I am like a bill collector, the opposition feel under pressure, my team do the pressing like fresh vinyl testing, fans gambling half they checks put the bets in-invest the nest eggs, had to get my wind up and rest but, look who’s back checked in, coach got the best in, let’s win, the stakes are high and chips are down I’m royal-ty playing for that crown…the moment of truth I thrive in the clutch leave my mark on this game and it’s left-untouched so What you gon’ do when it’s crunch time, When the pressure is on, is it enough time, Are you gon rise up on the frontline Act on it ‘cause the clock’s goin’ Watch goin’ like tick tick What you gon’ do when it’s crunch time, When the pressure is on, is it enough time, Are you gon rise up on the frontline Act on it ‘cause the clock’s goin’ Watch goin’ like tick tick
