LJ Jones - Starving Artist Lyrics

Everybody's aiming for the top
Tryna make it before all your time is up
We stay up on the grind, all day, non-stop
We keep on paper chasing just to say "we made it"

Everybody's aiming for the top
Tryna make it before all your time is up
We stay up on the grind, all day, non-stop
We keep on paper chasing just to say "we made it"

You know what it's like tryna sleep when you're hungry
Running to get it so life can be better
Shot at the top and I'll never say never
When life's handing L's, I'm changing the letters
I got kids to feed, I ain't sleep in weeks
I just kill the beats, I ain't scared to sink
I don't need to breath, I've got water wings
I ain't breaking bone, I don't need a sling
And I've been going hard
Rejx, yeah you know the squad
In the kitchen, yeah I got the sauce
And I'm standing strong when the heat is on
This is Godzilla teaming up with Kong
Sorry to keep you all waiting long
I know you've been waiting to see it
I know what it's like to be constantly dreaming
The climb isn't easy, I'm fighting my demons
And I' letting go, I'm restoring my freedom
Giving my all for my wife and my kids, Kaitlin and Seth and my little man Ian
Never gon' settle, never gon' settle,
Never gon' let up, I'm beating this level
Half of the people that's hating me now will come to see that I was raised as a rebel
Dancing with devils, dancing with devils
Bet you never thought to much of the kid
Giving every ounce of my being
To see my dream is the reason I live
I'd say it again and I mean it
I will not lose in the end and you'll see it
If you don't see it then look at my resume
Starred in a movie, I wrote and directed it
I don't get tired like Kevin Gates
I ain't got time to be acting fake
I ain't concerned with these rappers
That think that they dapper or trappers, they really ain't
I don't waste time tryna please all these people that claim that they need you, can you relate
You're either escaping the industry or you're becoming a slave
You sit as a slave to the industry or gain the energy to escape
Lose who you are or become something more
Become something more
Feeling like Alice, no time to be callous
You wonder the land that I came to adore
Pardon me, all of me, poured in my artistry
Starving to get it, I'm getting while (wow)
Your boy in his bag
The future is now
And everybody tryna copy the style

Everybody's aiming for the top
Tryna make it before all your time is up
We stay up on the grind, all day, non-stop
We keep on paper chasing, just to say "we made it"

Everybody's aiming for the top
Tryna make it before all your time is up
We stay up on the grind, all day, non-stop
We keep on paper chasing, just to say "we made it"
