I do this for the hell of it? What’s cooking in the kitchen? It’s success by the smell of it Working all day and study all night Screw all the haters, they just don’t believe the hype Looking at the future, there’s a vision in my sight I don’t know what I’m doing, I’m just trying to get it right I’ve got my best friends with me but I’m still alone despite, I’m just a low boy trying to reach new height You think I’m all together? Bro I might Success is for dinner and I’m hungry for a bite
