Rookie Season

HOOK They call me rookie, but I’m playin’ like a vet, First year in the game, already cashin’ every bet.Came in with a dream, now I’m cashin’ every check, They ain’t know the name before — now they showin’ me respect. Rookie of da year, I put the pressure in the press, Got ’em watchin’ every move like my jersey on they chest. I’m just gettin’ started, this ain’t even at my best, If this my rookie season, tell me what they gon’ expect? VERSE 1 I’m new to the league, but the game got familiar, Walked in with a pen, left the room with a thriller. I’m raisin’ the bar, but I’m not talkin’ tequila, They said I needed a shot — now I’m shootin’ like a dealer. I got drive with no license, acceleration on a mission, Turned a “no” into a “now,” that’s a different kind of vision. They slept on the kid, now I’m killin’ their admission, Had to check my competition — must’ve missed ’em in transmission. I’m makin’ plays with my words, that’s a verbal touchdown, Put the whole team on my back, watch me carry this town. They wanted me to fold, I just doubled the amount, Now every time I open up my mouth, it’s a cash account. BRIDGE I remember when they told me, “You ain’t ready yet,” Now they tryna shake my hand like we ain’t never met. Had to bet it on myself, put the pressure on the check, Now the rookie got the whole league lookin’ for the next. VERSE 2 I came straight out the gate, but I’m already in the lead, Plant a seed in every bar, now they watchin’ how I breed— ideas, let me clarify, I’m talkin’ creativity, Every line got two sides, that’s that double-edged ability. I’m cold with the flow, but the heat stay near me, Got a future in the game, that’s why the vision so clearly. They said “stay in your lane,” I put my name on the freeway, Now I’m switching up the gears while they stuck on replay. I got receipts for the work, no cap in the statement, Turned patience into paper, now the money got impatient. They wanted competition, I gave ’em a demonstration, First year on the roster, first place in the conversation. I’m a rookie with experience they swear I shouldn’t have, Got the future in my hands and the past in my bag. If they’re judging by the numbers, then I’m already advanced, Put the league on notice — rookie season, championship stance.
