[Lyric] Personal Gain (Tae Retro)

[Intro]
At the end of the day, bro, people gon' have opinions
People gon' have ways they feel about you, this and that
That and this, but, regardless of any of that, stay true to yourself and be grinding, bro, please (Huh? Hold on, Tae Retro)

[Chorus]
I stay to myself because niggas ain't real, they showing support for they personal gain
First overall, they wanna jack Tae 'cause I'm too locked in, I got love for the game
She know who I am, I prefer solidarity, keep all the names, I never been Bane
And just last week, I was stuck in my head, but you can't slow down if you winning the race

[Verse 1]
I can ace in the game if I'm never delayed
I'm living alright, but I don't got it made
I'm here for the glory, not here for the hate
And go shine somewhere else if you don't like my rates
And we all got power, the game mighty morphing
They requesting for Tae 'cause he highly important
This isn't 2K, I got pricey endorsements
I used to be broke, I feel nicely in Jordan's
[Interlude 1]
And that ain't half of it, bro
I still gotta go in for the rest of the song
Uh, uh, Tae Retro (Uh)

[Verse 2]
And I'm feeling like Kobe, the job is unfinished
Ain't nobody better, I'm nice with the writtens
I'm gaining support 'cause my verses be hitting
I beat up the beat 'til it's lagging and limping
I mastered my craft, so I'm always respected
I'll move out the city, it's getting too hectic
Treat money like muscles, the way that I stretch it
These niggas gon' fold, but that's what I expected
And I'm feeling like Wayne, way I show dedication
Tae got motion like he was migrating
That boy is not solid, he good for a statement
In-person, you love me, but digitally hating
You wasn't there with me, it just kinda hit me that all of the love you be showing is fraudulent
Deep in my bag and I don't mean to brag, but I don't see nobody that's gonna be stopping it
Got money on mind, I make mental deposits
And me going broke will not ever be option
If he want a verse, get it gone like an auction
I cradle the beat, so the flow is adopted
And I'm dropping knowledge, you here for the lecture
And I'm moving subtle, not known as a flexer
I hit off the streak, boy, you try to impress her
I'm here for the bag, boy, I'm needing a treasure
I'm up late at night, tryna figure my purpose
With Tae in the stu', it resembles a furnace
I'm known to adapt, Tae Retro is a learner
That boy is a lurker, he post on his burner
[Interlude 2]
Nah, for real, like, why are you lurking, bro?
That's— That's kinda weird, but, ayy, whatever, man

[Verse 3]
A three-level scorer, I hit from all angles, they don't even know how to guard me
If I don't like the present, I'm back to the future, McFly, they calling me Marty
A single man movement, I'm good off inclusion, I'm never reserving a party
It was 2019 when I maxed out the handling, praying for whoever gon' guard me
Don't care how you view me, it don't make me money, I don't really care for perception
I'ma tell you the truth and watch how you take it 'cause Tae never known for deception (Hold on, Tae Retro)

[Chorus]
I stay to myself because niggas ain't real, they showing support for they personal gain
First overall, they wanna jack Tae 'cause I'm too locked in, I got love for the game
She know who I am, I prefer solidarity, keep all the names, I never been Bane
And just last week, I was stuck in my head, but you can't slow down if you winning the race
I stay to myself because niggas ain't real, they showing support for they personal gain
First overall, they wanna jack Tae 'cause I'm too locked in, I got love for the game
She know who I am, I prefer solidarity, keep all the names, I never been Bane
And just last week, I was stuck in my head, but you can't slow down if you winning the race

[Outro]
Ha, yeah
Tae Retro, uh, Tae Retro
Hold on, Tae Retro
