I see the skyscrapers in the back, this shit is official
|
|
I got a lot on my mind, I got more in my face
|
If I ain't going to get it, that day is going to waste
|
I'm tryna move in my safe, like the safe was a safehouse
|
I ain't going out to eat, but these hoes stay on the stakeout
|
And you know it's official when I go bringing that BAPE out
|
I'm thumbing through the magazines like "this the girl I'mma take out"
|
Imagine stuck in the D and you tryna find a way way out
|
And yeah, your music been bumping and you just waiting to break out
|
And I've been waiting all god damn year, all year
|
I can tell that it's near, but near ain't here
|
Man, them bills is here right now
|
I guess you shine brightest when the lights down, like now
|
And then they say it happened for me overnight, shit, yeah I guess
|
I guess it took ten years for me to be an overnight success
|
What you know about living check to check to living check to check to check to check?
|
First place, no neck and neck
|
Two girls is breast to breast to breast to breast
|
Blowing smoke but I'm a breath of fresh air
|
Yeah, saying I'm doing extra numbers like I'm Chinese
|
Taking double shots like Siamese
|
I'm from where crime breeds, her titties out like sign these
|
I knew I lived this life back when I was young and used to climb trees
|
I should've known back then I wasn't gonna stop
|
Cause even then I was infatuated with just sitting at the top
|
I said I should've known back then, man, that I wasn't gonna stop
|
Cause even then I was infatuated with just sitting at the top
|
|
And I don't owe nobody in the world no favors
|
I started from the basement, made it to the skyscrapers
|
I'm a successful nigga, I got shit going on
|
I'm a successful Don, I got shit going on
|
[x2]
|
|
Bitch, watch how you speak to me
|
I've been working all week and I know I need ZZZZs
|
Tryna get paid repeatedly
|
Jamaica or Cancun, oh now that's where I need to be
|
Credit card used to be EBT, in the D though that's D-EBT
|
I be thinking about becoming a cop
|
So I can murder some niggas one by one off legally
|
I talk that real shit, but that's why they loving it
|
One time for the city, treating it like it's the mothership
|
Was talking to my dad though on some other shit
|
He like "man, slow down with the girls you're fucking with
|
If they ain't a quarter back, there's no point of rushing it
|
Don't make the same mistakes I made with your mother"
|
But that's on some other shit, look
|
I'm into risk and taking it
|
I'm into making it then back then make it like I ain't made it yet
|
This the rehab for a workaholic, I been thinking bout shaking it
|
I done had a Rolex longer than I had relationships, I'm embarrassed to say that shit
|
But I've been working on myself and that's the most important work
|
Even if you don't get paid for it
|
Shit, call me the greatest
|
Don't call up no favours, I call up my saviour
|
Like thank you God, look at all we created
|
I started rapping Biggie Smalls in the basement
|
And now we headed to the tallest skyscrapers
