Lyrics

Gotta light up to shit like this, ****
And I ain't even said it or wrote it yet
I just feel it, you know?
Yeah
Overtime 'cause I ain't have a mic
I was in that Chevy
Yeah
Overtime 'cause I ain't have a mic
I was in that Chevy playin' Savage Life
**** lookin' like I had it wrong
Now, them **** know I had it right
They don't know about them sleepless nights
Them lookin' for a reason nights (Them lookin' for a reason)
They say it's six degrees in life
Opportunity, preparation, they meet, it's nice
You see me up in Neiman's, right?
My chain and my pinky bright
I valet this Mercedes Benz
Lookin' like somebody that people like
Can't but help to think how fake it is
This world and this music biz
I just want all of this paper, though
So maybe, I could try and change this shit
Maybe, me, I'm too ambitious
Or maybe this a new dimension
Maybe them, they too religious
Maybe, they judge my intentions
But either way, I'm on my mission
In the sky, for our love, I'ma tie a ribbon
Life's a bitch, lady luck my woman
Forever you my lady, I'm your fuckin' ****
Overtime 'cause I ain't have a mic
I was in that Chevy playin' Savage Life
**** lookin' like I had it wrong
Now, them **** know I had it right
They don't know about them sleepless nights
Them lookin' for a reason nights (Them lookin' for a reason)
They say it's six degrees in life
Opportunity, preparation, they meet, it's nice
Cappin' for a cheaper price
Hustlin' for a bucket, keep your sneakers tight
Shoot a box, catch the cheapest flight
If it land, thank you, Jesus Christ
You ain't gon' get it till you see it right
And jump off in this legal life
Feel the pressure from your people, right?
Still choose to lead 'em right
Sometimes, I rap about my feature price
Or all of my defeats in life
They told me, "Don't believe the hype"
But I felt like this 'bout myself before the mic
And you know, if you look at like the movie industry
You don't, you don't base the success off of how many tickets sold
You know, like, what's the gross? How much it gross?
Period, right?
When it come to business, the bottom line is, you know
We in business to make money, how much you gross?
And so, it's like
I feel like it's a looming question mark over Hollywood
Over the entertainment, music industry, what's the new business model?
And, to me, you know, the people that lead to that answer
And lend they intelligence, they hustle, they effort, they mind-power, they
You know, whatever they can offer to that question
And stick to that and come up with answers to that
I feel like that's one of the most important things going on
Like the, in the city, they'll try and disrespect you
And they'll give no respect, that's when you wanna go to, you know, the moon
And then it was like, uh, it had industrial revolutions
Like now, I think it's the business model
Creators of the new era that's gon' be able to be the type to keep the business moving forward
People that create new business models
You know, as well as products that, you know
Are sold and consumed, services that are consumed, these models
But I feel like the giants gon' be the ones who create the business models
But that's we trying to do with this Proud2Pay
Fuck the middle man
And uh, you know, this disruptive multimedia
Collab that I'm doing with, uh, Ryan Legend
Overtime 'cause I ain't have a mic
I was in that Chevy playin' Savage Life
**** lookin' like I had it wrong
Now them **** know I had it right
They don't know about them sleepless nights
Them lookin' for a reason nights (Them lookin' for a reason)
They say it's six degrees in life
Opportunity, preparation, they meet, it's nice
