Intro
Yo, coming from the bottom.
Watch out.
All the way to the top.
Verse 1
Coming up faster, harder than the rest. a struggle for redemption, a state of conquest.
No rest for the weary, gotta hustle and grind, keep that focus, that New York state of mind.
City of dreams and lights, city of sin and grime. I light this city up with my flow and rhymes.
Roll them blunts real tight pass them side to side, now put your hands together for the golden child!
The king has arrived, the lion with a mic. Knocking haters out with my intellect and style.
Sting like a bee, float like a butterfly, now you see me now you don’t watch me set the world on fire.
From coast to coast, from show to show, whip the crowd into a frenzy leave them begging for more,
They coming in droves, they know I cracked the code, I’m dynamite, baby. I’m starting to explode.
Hook
Whatever you think I am I’m more,
Whatever I was before I’m so much more,
What you think they hating for?
In my mind there’s few things that can’t be accomplished,
Get ready ‘cuz we’re taking off!
Get ready ‘cuz we’re taking off and over, yea,
Get ready ‘cuz we’re taking off,
I’m running but I know I’m getting stronger,
Get ready ‘cuz we’re taking off!
You know my first album I spent thousands on promo. I started with high hopes, no one even showed up,
What a joke. Life kicked me in the balls, and made me watch the replay in slow motion.
What was I smoking? The universe had spoken. My dreams of fame had already imploded.
Back to square one, do si dos. Time to quit, hell no, grab the moment, move forward.
Focus on the process and maintain my composure, set the right example for my kids as they get older.
Free my heart and soul, shine a light in dark corners. Speak my naked truth, the rest is unimportant.
So I summoned my courage, refined my performance. Tore up my prior words and completely rewrote them.
No limits but fear and other worthless emotions, made a deal with success. When I show up it shows up.

Bruised not broken. This soldier of fortune waded into battle with a chip on his shoulder.
Chopped down critics left a trail of corpses, I was mental before, now I’m a gallon of Four Loko.
No FOMO, strictly YOLO. At home within the war zone. The force of my ideas tears holes through the ozone.
More venom than a cobra, lyrics dope enough to smoke ‘em, please excuse my tears, I weep for my opponents.
As I rise like Christ, brutalized, resurrected, questions cross my mind. I start to reflect
On my journey, was this destiny, luck, or something else? Did talent and ambition guarantee my success?
Nah, something more basic. My calling, my nature. An inferno burns inside, I cannot contain it.
In this world full of fake shit call me an oasis. An agent of change. Radheya means greatness.

ABOUT MY CHANNEL
Born a lion. Raised as a sheep.
For years I kept my head down, kept my mouth shut, tried to please others, suppressed my thoughts, feelings, and emotions...until something cracked inside.
I spent my entire life behind a mask. Model minority. Corporate man. Nice guy. I decided to put on my OWN mask. When I wear this mask, I speak from my heart. I speak my truth.
This channel includes music videos, clips from open mics, and real-time updates on my journey. Please subscribe and share your thoughts.
