Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ah
Ah yeah
Ah yeah
Ah yeah
[Verse 2]
One in a million, maybe it's me
The chances of winning are slimmer than three
Moving and shaking and making it happen
Producing and singing while people was trapping
Chasing the dream and living for free
A whole lotta people helped the hell out of me
A job ain't the move, I'm just a musician
I followed the path, continued the mission
[Verse 3]
I got soul and a whole lot of songs
I get love even if I'm dead wrong
And I know that I got what I need
Even when I don't got what I want
[Verse 4]
'Cause I ain't really got it like that
And one day I'ma have it like that
And I know that it can't stay this way
And one day I'ma finally get paid
'Cause I ain't really got it like that, no
And one day I'ma have it like that, oh
And I know that it can't stay this way
And one day I'ma finally get paid
Yeah, uh, come on
[Verse 5]
I know what I want, I'm very specific
I need me a check with multiple digits
To buy me a house and maybe a boat
But my Grandaddy gave me some knowledge to note
What'd he say?
[Verse 6]
If you don't wanna work, yo
But you wanna all of the perks, yo
That ain't really how it work, yo
You might need to go to church though
[Verse 7]
I got soul and a whole lot of songs
I get love even if I'm dead wrong
And I know that I got what I need
Even when I don't got what I want
[Verse 8]
'Cause I ain't really got it like that
And one day I'ma have it like that
And I know that it can't stay this way
And one day I'ma finally get paid
'Cause I ain't really got it like that, no
And one day I'ma have it like that, oh
And I know that it can't stay this way
And one day I'ma finally get paid, yeah
[Verse 9]
Look I've been thinking that I'm at the limit
The fact I need money with all my decisions
I want it all and all I admit it
If you never had it then know that you get it
They say that everything and go over there
I mean I, I want a little of my own, I'm saying
I know that they say that pressure make diamonds
But I just wanna pay my bills on time
[Verse 10]
I got soul and a whole lot of songs
And I get love even if I'm dead wrong
And I know that I got what I need
Even when I don't got what I want
[Verse 11]
'Cause I ain't really got it like that
And one day I'ma have it like that
And I know that it can't stay this way
And one day I'ma finally get paid
'Cause I ain't really got it like that, no
And one day I'ma have it like that, oh
And I know that it can't stay this way
And one day I'ma finally get paid
[Verse 12]
I know I want more than this
It's things left on my checklist
I want, I want an electric car like
Are you gonna be a Tesla or it can be a BMW
I want the shades in my house to close
Like with the remote
[Verse 13]
I know I want more than this
(It's things left on my checklist)
I want a girlfriend that cook
I want a new wardrobe, I wanna get the Yeezy boots
But the Yeezy boots don't they don't look right on me, I'm too short
[Verse 14]
'Cause I ain't really got it like that
And one day I'ma have it like that
And I know that it can't stay this way
And one day I'ma finally get paid
'Cause I ain't really got it like that, no
And one day I'ma have it like that, oh
And I know that it can't stay this way
And one day I'ma finally get paid
[Verse 15]
'Cause I ain't really got it like that
And one day I'ma have it like that
And I know that it can't stay this way
And one day I'ma finally get paid
'Cause I ain't really got it like that, no
And one day I'ma have it like that, oh
And I know that it can't stay this way
And one day I'ma finally get paid
[Verse 16]
I want a lifetime supply of Jameson
Man, bruh, I want them, um
I want, I wanna-I wanna have a closet that you gon' like, live in
Like one of them houses
Like four or five bedrooms like, woo
Them four five bedrooms Clair that looks good
And this old couch will do for now
I wanna get the eye surgery too, you know
'Cause my eyes, I can't see and I don't like them contacts in
I wanna get the eye surgery
I want it all
I want it, baby
