lyrics

Working everyday tryna get better
See my pops used to say I should be a go getter
Cause I'm so clever, so work smart and hard
And don't let anybody tell you that you can't make art
See these bars have kept me spitting in bars even though I'm straight edge
Coughing through the clouds of your smoke, and you know I hate it
So faithless, but I know that one day it will show me
That if I just keep on growing there is nothing that could hold me back
Don't live in the past
People will say that you're living too fast
But I'm sipping on water, nothing to kill me I put in this glass
So they can relax, all the opinions they putting on blast
Ain't gonna change my mind so you can find me where the check is cashed
That's real talk, time is money, I peel off
Nothing funny, you still thought
That I ain't riding till the wheels off?
They falling
Like screens in the back of those seats
And if you wanna check my talking you can show me the receipt

See I ain't here to change the game, I ain't working for these lames
I don't know what they tryna get into
I'm just tryna get paid for the talent I display and you can think that it's just that simple
I ain't here to change the game, I ain't working for these lames
I don't know what they tryna get into
But I believe in this
I believe it's true

-So this is ego rap
But they ain't really gonna care if this beat don't slap
So like a free throw that is just missing the rim
I come so damn close but can't get it in
Hah
They see I'm stuck in '07
With my rhymes and production like a Scott storch record
Or the hot Boyz check it and just throw it aside
But I put weight up in these beats, man I been bumping with pride
They ready to slide in the dm's with a feature request
Or to see how they can get a beat they can rock with finesse
I give you options to flex, but I'm done working for free
So it's that old adage, fuck you pay me
I hate it has to be that way but this is what I'm tryna live off
If you don't like my hustle little homie you can get lost
I ain't the big dog, but know I got my bite dude
And I won't hesitate but I don't wanna have to fight you

See I ain't here to change the game, I ain't working for these lames
I don't know what they tryna get into
I'm just tryna get paid for the talent I display and you can think that it's just that simple
I ain't here to change the game, I ain't working for these lames
I don't know what they tryna get into
But I believe in this
I believe it's true (x2)
