[Verse 1] | |
Post alma mater, trying to get dollars, right out of college | |
With a collar on starving like Ramadan for something solid | |
I'm getting off work about 8 pm, grab a little bite and embrace a pen | |
Make a couple beats, inside my den, wake up in the a.m., do it all again | |
Friends, I had them but they too busy chasing them ladies | |
Money gone, what a con, when drinks equals Mercedes | |
I'd rather demolish a song | |
I made in two nights with a new mic from not getting my baller on | |
Smashing into the scene with my flow | |
They blasting my beats in headphones | |
Packing up seats in each row | |
Cause passion is unleashed each show | |
(Wake up!) And that's when I snapped out of a dream in a corporate meeting | |
(Wake up!) drooling, snoozing, heavy, breathing, forget it, I'm leaving | |
Yo boss, I'm going to take off this evening to enjoy the weekend | |
Maxing out CC's, crafting CD's until I'm eating | |
Even if my tanks on "E" and the banks own me | |
With that 20% APR my graveyard through laboring | |
[Hook] | |
Whiplash, whiplash, energy out, it got to come back! | |
[Verse 2] | |
Sometimes I drop to my knees, praise God who set my soul free | |
But I never got a spoon feed, hustling like its all on me | |
With an appetite that’s out of sight, like every night just grabbed the mic | |
Burned demos, instrumentals, self assembled in my bedroom | |
Stacks of CD's, passed 'em freely, play on TV, wasn't easy | |
No Youtube, to allow you or school you with how to's none to teach me | |
Feel me? asking every homie if they'd film me, but don’t bill me | |
My video budget was rubbish, publicists would milk me | |
Emptied my pockets silly really nonetheless we needed press | |
CD's were pressed, off my own debt, no regrets to kill me | |
Keeping it professional, at all times, when I was small time | |
From call times to interviews of all kinds even those that grilled me | |
Fundamentally its that energy I put out that made enemies or friends to me | |
Propelling me up with more feet then a centipede | |
Sending me, towards finer things from flyering my own | |
Shows, to inspiring those aspiring to go pro with flows bro... | |
