Nicky Jay - Look Alive lyrics
[HOOK: The Rocket Summer] Stop the press, everything's a mess You can look alive but you are not at rest And i-ideas are flowing through your head A million miles an hour while lying in your bed A lucid life you never thought you'd lead Are you working everyday? Are you working just to bleed? I know [x5] [Verse 1: Nicky Jay] Another 2 AM up trapped up inside of my thoughts/ I'm, Barely aware I'm stuck in space like astronauts/ What does it take for you people to stop and stare/ I been speaking my mind for the longest but nobody really seems to care/ All the stupid people getting famous and I'm still here/ When am I gonna have my chance when am I gonna be up next/ When am I gonna get that phone call when am I gonna get that text/ Cause I haven't slept and I don't plan on getting any rest/ I'm not resting till all my goals are met/ I know I sound arrogant when I say I'm the one and I'm the best/ But my music ain't nothing with out a fan base/ I ain't going nowhere if I'm stuck in the same place/ If you feel me then you should support/ Cause my music is my life even if my life gets cut short/ I got so many ideas running through my mind/ Its just unbelievable I haven't been signed/ I'm underrated and unsigned// [HOOK] Everybody getting they moment and I'm still being patient/ Competition ain't even competition no more they hating/ Everybody talking yea they got me contemplating/ I'm thinking its time to make a move and start eliminating/ f** it if I'm solo I can be my own army/ If I say anything offensive and vulgar I'm not sorry/ Music is my life what you doing is just a hobby/ Everything I say in my raps is real talk and I really do it/ Don't ever confuse me with these dumb rappers that sound foolish/ Everything can change at the drop of a dime/ I be focusing on everything from instrumentals to rhymes/ I be up late at night just writing these raps/ For every hole made by these trash rappers I'm filling in the gaps/ They gonna see I'm different and I stand out/ Cause all I know is doubt/ But everything is changing for the better on a different route/ Im always in the studio while you chillin up on ya couch// [HOOK: The Rocket Summer] Stop the press, everything's a mess You can look alive, but you are not at rest And i-ideas are flowing through your head A million miles an hour while lying in your bed A lucid life you never thought you'd lead Are you working everyday? Are you working just to bleed? I know [x5]
