Collector's Edition - Envy Lyrics

How about we focus on the bigger picture
I sell my soul and make the next richer
I do me but mainstream credits faking niggas
We tell the truth but truth hurts so we lie bigger
And photoshop me giving debt to Ye and Jigga
To catch an audience, Coattail to get me on
Yes it's a party so I'll crash and show where I belong
No applause needed,
Just CE after featured
A couple flabbergasted face cause I remain unbeaten
A tall tale ending well, giving hope to losers
No offense, I rock them shoes and rather live with bruises
A black right to struggle so I can't deny the privilege
Want to move on
But a black hole is where I'm sitting
And yes I struggle but I will get the hell out
Until then you will respect my house
So check them attitudes and fake smiles at the door
Yes it's V,
What, expecting something more

I'm tired of hearing that I'm envious
How can I be envious
When all I want is
My deal
On my time
On my terms
On my grind
Is that envious?
How can I be envious
When all I want is
My deal
On my time
On my terms
On my grind

Aw man, I miss my queue in
Too excited, hater-aid a-brewing

And I'm addicted, that's what they telling me
Cause I speak the truth regardless of all your feelings
And nah cause, I don't know the trap spot
I'm sorry bruh,
My pops he had a forethought
That I could be better,
If better even exist
And I plan to do the same for both of my kids
So I ain't lying bout no hood days

Pushing on those old schools,
Fronting like I know you
And I ain't bragging but my hustle was some lawn tools
And selling condoms at the high school, I should've kept a few
I still struggle to keep my lights on
Get off work and serenade mead with another song
Above the influence unless her legs are long
And then I'm sorry if I'm dead wrong
But hell I'm grown so

I'm tired of hearing that I'm envious
How can I be envious
When all I want is
My deal
On my time
On my terms
On my grind
Is that envious?
How can I be envious
When all I want is
My deal
On my time
On my terms
On my grind

So I'm breathless,
Restless,
Chasing a nightmare
Cause my career path
Changes acts
Like a state fair
They say hate
Is how you got your place here
While I relied on hard work and dedication
If that's the case then I apologize
Not for my actions
But cause you couldn't change lives
But hopefully this track will show my mind
You'll understand what it's like to walk my line
Cause I've arrived with a plan for action
To keep CE as a main attraction
Invade your iPods like a plague is happening
Elevate your mind to a brand new status
Determined and focused, never backing down
Back against the wall, you're fighting your way out
Cause you gots to be where you're supposed to be
Cause soon your hard work is just in vain

I'm tired of hearing that I'm envious
How can I be envious
When all I want is
My deal
On my time
On my terms
On my grind
Is that envious?
How can I be envious
When all I want is
My deal
On my time
On my terms
On my grind
