lyrics

I’m a local
Working on my dream
Wanna be with the moguls
Got a lot of haters and they think that I’m so so
I’m a keep on working i’m a do what I know to
You can come too build a tribe work together
Ain’t no gate keepers it’s our mind that won’t let us
Forget a co-sign I’m a work til we get up
Everybody wanna know when I’m up so they get up
Forget em
Ain’t no one better than me
Sounding sound so cocky
but you know that i gotta be
I’m riding for me
If I don’t believe it
Then you won’t believe it
Then I’ll never see it
I might as well leave it
Don’t feel so defeated
Believe and you’ll see it
That something that Mali told me

Everybody gotta get it so we get it
We been working so we cautious who we let in
Time is ticking so you know that we not playing
Work all day we just trying to find our way in
We so high up that you thought we smoking hydro
But the jet in auto pilot and our eyes close
Ay Dios
Yeah hay Dios
We don’t know what’s next but God’s the high road

I don’t do this for money or fame
My salary doubles if I leave the game
But it’s so funny how all of you lame
But I’m so amused so I choose to play
I’m here for the change
Not for the change
You jokers are fake
Pretending you balling
But don’t make a thing
But choose to exclaim
Let me just keep 100
I got the flame
Like Heda my name
I’m ahead of the game
Blazing this trail
Like my name is Dam
Cause it is a shame
If I fail to proclaim
Let me explain
Cause we’re not the same
You entertain
I’m here for the reign
We live as kings
Look at my team
Cause we’ve been redeemed
By Elohim
So naturally
My whole squad reigns supreme

Everybody gotta get it so we get it
We been working so we cautious who we let in
Time is ticking so you know that we not playing
Work all day we just trying to find our way in
We so high up that you thought we smoking hydro
But the jet in auto pilot and our eyes close
Ay Dios
Yeah hay Dios
We don’t know what’s next but God’s the high road

Where the yams at
Serve them to these rappers they so hungry with they hands out
We been working double time hoping that it pans out
You should see my back account it’s not what I had planned out
I’ve been trying to move in harmony
I got problems every other day
I don’t need you all up in my face
I dont owe nobody anything
I got mine
You a nuisance
I found that
We were losing
I tied down
All the loose ends
Now my life
Is amusing
Through the ups and downs
With the phony clowns
With who held me down
We done made our rounds
In this crazy realm
I’ve been lost then found
I don’t smoke the loud
But I might
