[verse]
Another day, another dollar
That I'm not gettin', cause I stopped pitching
My free time for hire, started watching the clock
Never know if your time's up or not
So I'm here with my stomach in knots
Patiently waiting for my chance to be the n***a on top
Cause since birth I've been traumatized
Daddy left and mommy lied
Petrified by thoughts of mine
Life seen through adolescent eyes
Fast forward through the years and I'm still feeling no different
Still the synonym to vicious and my name better be mentioned
In yo' top 5, cause I do strive for greatness
They telling me I'm gon' pop, but in due time, I'm waiting
How the f** they not gon' notice me? Yeah dog, I'm saying
I ain't playing, bout to start asking for payment to hear these verses I'm slanging
But I ain't after franklins or a dollar incentive
I'm tryna diminish that factor as a piece that went missing
Some say that I'm too dismissive and have some bit wrong intentions
But f** their judgement them the same n***as that never would listen
And claim they like me for hype
Nah n***a I ain't that type
And I won't name drop but go ask a rapper willing to bite
And sacrifice originality for fame for a moment
As I aim to own and control it and take out what's been bogus
Living la vida loca
All these thoughts got me choked up
Silence I try to hold, but
My uncle taught me to stay tough
Never said that I know much
Wouldn't dare to pretend
But the message is crystal clear from beginning to end
Another day, another dollar
That I'm not gettin', cause I stopped pitching
My free time for hire, started watching the clock
Never know if your time's up or not
So I'm here with my stomach in knots
Patiently waiting for my chance to be the n***a on top
Yeah
