Lyrics
[Intro]
Huh
[Instrumental]
Huh
[Chorus]
Yeah, I was made for the life, through the rain, that sufficed ('Ficed)
Little did I know that it came with a price (Came with a price)
Backdoor swipes, but I stayed on the dice (Dice)
I just want the love, have the fame if you like that
I just want you to see
That you can have what you want, be what you want (Want)
I just want you to see
You can have what you want, be what you want
[Verse 1]
(I like that)
Came in this bitch with a penny and a wish
Took a shot the harder way and I prayed I made magic
A MySpace page and a janky sidekick (Besides that)
Robbin' instrumentals off of LimeWire
Record after record like I had priors
Burned my mixtape on a blank CD
Hopin' y'all would hear me and say, "That's fire"
Now they call me the Carson arsonist like I imagined they would
Illuminated a whole generation, the opposite of an abomination
And I'd bomb a nation for the greater good
And that's my word, I can build long-term
I'm infinite, I never quit or expire, the only the way I retire
Is I'm ridin' on wheelie Forgis and goin' fast
Jesus my chauffeur and we havin' a blast, bring in the chorus
[Chorus]
I was made for the life, through the rain, that sufficed ('Ficed)
Little did I know that it came with a price (Came with a price)
Backdoor swipes, but I stayed on the dice (Dice)
I just want the love, have the fame if you like that
I just want you to see
That you can have what you want, be what you want (Want)
I just want you to see
You can have what you want, be what you want
[Verse 2]
The universe bends to a still mind
Peace be still, I'm willin' to steal mine
I think of how improbable impossible is
'Cause if it's impossible, who knows it is?
I been tryin' not to hark in on my problems, more to my solutions
In order to get to it, I had to go through it
Still might televise the revolution, evolution
Growth is the only option
Never wanted to ride a wave, wanted to own an island
Never meant to misbehave, but find my own identity
Understand the assignment, nirvana and tranquility
Positive vibrations erasin' hostility
I'm constantly facin', chasin' my victory
'Cause I can feel it in the air
Like a seagull at the beach or a crane in the sky
While I'm lettin' Solange sing to me
The sky is limitless, different what Biggie depicted it to be
[Chorus]
I was made for the life, through the rain, that sufficed ('Ficed)
Little did I know that it came with a price (Came with a price)
Backdoor swipes, but I stayed on the dice (Dice)
I just want the love, have the fame if you like that
I just want you to see
That you can have what you want, be what you want (Want)
I just want you to see
You can have what you want, be what you want
[Outro]
Young Burger, DoeBurger, Quando Barker
Good Burger, all that shit, bro
We less than twenty-four hours from your birthday, dog
It's your boy Spodee
Twenty-four hours
And, uh, you know
You're not here, you're not here right now
And the Bible says
To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord
So you in a better place than we are, bro
