Lyrics

Finally the doors open for me โ€ข Chaufeur Got a little somethin' on the table โ€ข Coaster Used to wanna sign to a label I was so sure Plus I was deep in the hole โ€ข Gopher Butchu reap watchu sow If u reach in ya soul n' speak watchu know when its yo' turn N' you hangin' on a mantle in a gold earn from a slow burn they'll remember you for yo' words N' I'm all about soul/sole โ€ข loafers So it's all good I mean it's kosher N' when my singles on every ringer They gon' wish they never did doubt the kid โ€ข Jerry Springer But if I get too gassed before I blow up Then my integrity may not hold up โ€ข So hol' up I don't know what stations'll play this But before I get dollars its gotta make sense/cents Jhenรฉ Aiko What I gotta prove? โ€ข I have nothing to prove And I cannot lose โ€ข There's nothing to lose Against who? I can't lose Against you I can't lose They say when you're an inspiration the competition disappears So my 1st week calculus ain' neccessar' Yeah. I ain' listen to what they say Cuz when i'm Mr. Big they gon' Snicker at my Pay Day They ain't thorough man I know I was stayin' uptown Now I'm sayin' Duck Down in my burrow/borough like a mole When I get outta this world man I know I'ma get all of the pears that I'm owed Til' then I'ma keep makin' good music for the children And for some of the young adults who feel it And for some adults who still hip bridgin' the gap and ain't afraid to say they listen to rap But if I get too gassed before I blow up Then my integrity may not hold up โ€ข So hol' up I don't know what stations'll play this But before I get dollars its gotta make sense/cents I don't want for nothin' cuz I got it all In a race with no one so I'm taking it all After all there's nothin' to win at all When you're chasing the wind Labels that I wanted to sign wit want me to shine They don't want me to rhyme they want me to lie n' sign posters I was like "you outta ya mind" so I had to decline and now I'm just rappin' to find closure But I know when the sun/son shines its over So compromise my art? No sir If the sky don't part my hopes will help me to smile at a dark night/knight โ€ข Joker
