8 hours in the day, 8 hours in the night
I never was the type to sit n work away my life
But my bills all paid and my closet looking right
And still I find myself frustrated back is achin' n I'm tired
I just really wanna rhyme so I know I'm wastin' time
Havin' savings is amazin' but I'm unfulfilled inside
And I know this life is short I seen too many young ones die
You not guaranteed tomorrow you not guaranteed your prime
Huh
So why am I dedicatin' my life?
Workin' am to the am just to try and get by
Feel my energy be drainin' I just wanna get high
Man this ain't no way to live I know I'm gonna get mine
Imma get mine I put in the time
Came a long way from jus coppin' a dime
They tried a rot an unstoppable mind
But little they know that I'm plottin' all times
F*ck out my face if you not trynna grind
F*ckin complacent you crampin' my style
Said that they hadn't heard raps in a while
So we got in the lab now we handin' em out
Standin' on stage while you stand in the crowd
You castin' your doubt but the fans is too loud
I'm seein' it now, it's a matter of timin' a matter of skill and a matter a grindin'
So f*ckin cliche but this ladder I'm cimbin'
I'm takin this game call up NASA to find it
I roll up a blunt n I puff I'm unwindin'
I given enough of myself to this fire
Huh
And I know they tried to pave my way onto this f*ckin' college route
Had a thirst for knowledge not for school I'm f*ckin' droppin' out
They wanna keep me from it they gon have to try n box me out
I been workin' two jobs hope this music f*ckin' clocks me out
I been stressin' smokin' sessions til I'm f*ckin' knockin' out
This slow progression so depressin' want it in my pockets now
Always with the questions we don't know nothin' what you talkin' bout
They really get to pressin' let the lil homie knock em out
Ballin' like the rockets now
Harden droppin' shots n how
You noddin' with it?
You not with it
You don't get no f*ckin' digits
Mix the vision with persistence
Laziness ain't f*ckin' wit it
Shadiness gon get you stitches
If you listen go and get it
Ah
I'm givin' out pieces of mind
You listen you gettin' the picture collecting the image one piece at a time
Real shit man I know that you feel it there really no reason why we can't all shine
I'm driven I'm seein' the signs
You isn't you missing ya life
Envisioning every minute until we go get it I'm feeling alright
Aight
