| They told me not to cave under pressure, be brave under pressure
|
| All I wanted was my face inside a frame on the dresser
|
| They told me if I only switched lanes, it’d be better
|
| But I finally broke the chains of the game, my oppressor
|
| Made a mistake and I got hitched to a Canadian
|
| Half-Iranian crazy bitch so she could get her papers quick
|
| Daddy was crazy rich, I should’ve made him pay for it
|
| At a rate of 20K inside a safe, it would’ve made my rent
|
| That would’ve made a dent, that would’ve made it worth it
|
| If I coulda made her mute, then that would’ve made her perfect
|
| I wonder what would happen now if immigration heard this
|
| Would they haul my ass away the next day while I was workin'? |
| Now that’s what I
|
| call leavin' on a high y’all
|
| I’m flyin' out when I ball like buyin' out the sky mall
|
| While y’all are stoppin' at your problems instead of switchin' grinds
|
| Trippin' over hurdles and sprintin' over that finish line
|
| They said I never would make it
|
| I was the one they counted out
|
| Look at how far I could take it
|
| I’m in the sky, would you look at me now?
|
| Look at me now, look at me now, yeah
|
| I be in and out of court still, livin' out of sorts
|
| And I’m trippin' 'cause this shit’s a contradiction of my morals
|
| I’m systematically lettin' the system have it
|
| And gettin' them bitches movin' like I was in human traffickin'
|
| When Green give me that green light, I’m goin' in
|
| And I’m movin' fans so much that they gettin' motion sick
|
| But I’m emotionless, ain’t nobody cold as this
|
| You sayin' you as dope as me, homie, I think you hopin' it
|
| I’m focusin' on just one thing, y’all hopin' I’m bringin' that city back
|
| Like Lebron but I only want rings, I’m cavalier and I spit heat
|
| And this week, I’mma get the cash for a chandelier like I hit peak
|
| I’m gettin' mines, me and winnin' is intertwined
|
| At any step, I could blow, it’s like I’m walkin' on mines
|
| While y’all are stoppin' at your problems instead of switchin' grinds
|
| Trippin' over hurdles and sprintin' over that finish line
|
| They said I never would make it
|
| I was the one they counted out
|
| Look at how far I could take it
|
| I’m in the sky, would you look at me now?
|
| Look at me now, look at me now, yeah
|
| Emilio supplyin' that real shit, if you look me in my eyes
|
| You could feel it, all my frenemies, they tried to conceal it
|
| Revelation ain’t the endin', it’s the time for revealin'
|
| They envious, they eyes have been peelin', snakes shed skin
|
| To blow, I’ll escape from New York like I’m Snake Plissken
|
| I’m stayin' in it, the city know I’m committed
|
| The voice of my generation and now they startin' to listen
|
| They said I never would make it
|
| I was the one they counted out
|
| Look at how far I could take it
|
| I’m in the sky, would you look at me now?
|
| Look at me now, look at me now, yeah |
