Pick up the pen, Write down the lyrics that Come from your head Straight from the heart. Even the Best rappers ever had to Start Somewhere, Very far from the end. So pick up the pen. Write down the lyrics that Come to your mind. If you’re not serious, then You may never find The voice inside So once again, Yo pick up the pen. (Verse 1) Pick up the pen, I'ma write my pain Spit fire on the page, I'ma make it rain From the streets where it's cold, no time for games I'ma hustle hard, stack up that change Catch me in the trap, where the fiends be at Cooking up that crack, gotta stay on track No love in the streets, just the sound of heat Gotta watch my back, ain't no time for sleep Loyalty is rare, snakes be everywhere But I stay focused, no time for despair Grew up in the struggle, had to make a way Now I'm counting stacks, every single day (Verse 2) Pick up the pen, let my thoughts unfold Spit these bars like a story that's untold From the trenches to the top, I'ma rise above Stay true to myself, never switch up, bruh In this cold world, gotta stay ice-cold Keep my circle small, no room for foes Never back down, I'ma stand my ground I'ma grind hard till my name renowned From the bottom to the top, I'ma climb the ladder No matter the obstacles, I won't shatter I'ma shine bright, like a diamond in the rough Pick up the pen, show the world my stuff (Verse 3) Pick up the pen, let the ink bleed Tell my story, all the pain and greed From the block to the booth, I'ma make it known I'ma leave my mark, even when I'm gone No silver spoon, had to earn my stripes No days off, grinding day and night In this rap game, I'ma leave my stain 21 Savage, remember the name I'ma stay true to my roots, never switch lanes Keep it real, no time for fake chains Pick up the pen, let my words speak I'ma conquer the game, reach its peak So when you hear my tracks, feel the fire within Pick up the pen, let the journey begin I'ma write my story, make history 21 Savage, forever in the industry
