Lyrics
[Chorus]
Night is young, the day sunny
They tell me to love the journey
I can't wait to get the money
I can't wait to get it, get it
Higher self need higher budget
Split my knuckles fighting for it
I can't wait to get me sum'n
I can't wait to get it, get it
[Verse 1]
Spent my rent money on these brand new teeth
Lot on my plate, got a big ole feast
Brand new bag come with brand new fees
Swimming in hype like a big white tee
Why does it burn when I'm looking at me?
Bring snow to the West when I come from the East
Cold ass bitch, so I'm feeling the heat
Had to take of my shirt just to cuddle the streets
[Verse 2]
Can't go home, it's just me
Destination all I see
Tighten up, all I need
Can't fuck up, live TV
Lil' po' me, rat racing
Y'all just sheep, Lil' Bo-Peep
All y'all see, brand new teeth
Brand new teeth, brand new teeth
[Chorus]
Night is young, the day sunny
They tell me to love the journey
I can't wait to get the money
I can't wait to get it, get it
Higher self need higher budget
Split my knuckles fighting for it
I can't wait to get me sum'n
I can't wait to get it, get it
[Verse 3]
Riding or you dying on the way
They ain't coming back here if you stay
I don't have no time to heal today
Just get in, bitch, I'll strive forever
[Verse 4]
Sam told me that more is better
Sold that shit so sweet, I let him
I like my white lies vanilla
Dreamer bitch a King, Coretta
Doughboy, they want out, let 'em
Only call to quits is heaven
Doot-doot-doot, 99-Beretta
Cut that out say cheese, buratta
[Verse 5]
I need it, I need it
I need it, yeah
I need it
I need it, I need it
[Chorus]
Night is young, the day sunny
They tell me to love the journey
I can't wait to get the money
I can't wait to get it, get it
Higher self need higher budget
Split my knuckles fighting for it
I can't wait to get me sum'n
I can't wait to get it, get it
[Verse 6]
I used to know a **** named—, nah, I ain't gon' say the name
Let's just say his name James, James always tryna hit stains
Some for the good, some for the sake of entertainment
Nothing to his psyche at the end of the day
'Cause he knew either way Miss Karma gon' walk his ass down
Buss ya head to the white and he known to act a fool off the muhfuckin' brown
James had a daughter out of town and a family he never see
'Cause he was way too hot to be a duck sitting down
Just waiting on a bitch called Life to come knockin' at the door
He'a take anything he want
Including yo' bitch on a off chance, boy, ya better hope
James had heart for his folk, telling YNs never get boxed in
Introduce them to the ropes, keep climbing
And they was impressed by how he climbing in this climate
Like, like ****, I came here too
Like ****, my gang here too
Come show me a thing or two
I'll fuck around, I'll fuck around hang with you
Baby
[Verse 7]
Light flow, now my pockets need lipo
Maestro 24s spinning when I roll
Light show, I much rather be ducked in my pond
Baby, I'm a blkswn, on her screen saver, young icon
In town, maybe me her can have a nice time, Patek, Patek me, Lord
Every time I feel paranoid, I start to reach for it
Thoughts like human life over
If it's between you and me, boy, I'on wanna resort
Rather take a bad bitch to vacay resorts, seashores
Ocean views, watching waves crash down like overnight fame when the streets bored
Tired of the same ole flow that he doing
Light flow
[Outro]
I don't have no time to heal today
They tell me to love the fucking journey
And I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying
