Oddisee - Do It All lyrics

[Hook:] I'm tryna do it all (From now on until the day that I'm gone I think large cause the Earth is too small For real I'm) Tryna do it all (A blank page is how it all starts off And rhyme and the blueprint'll get drawn on) Cause I'm Tryna do it all (Just like ??? give it up or we gon' take by force Because I'm) Tryna do it all (Without a pause and I ain't got no choice But to do better than whenever before) Because I'm tryna do it all [Verse 1: Oddisee] I'm trying make the world know me, stack G's, yet be lowkey Get paper with my brothers like the majors, but we so free So we sign like we don't speak I'mma rhyme like I'm tryna save the earth within the time I'm spinnin on it The way my career is going, I might get to spending on it Depending on if my minutes longer than 15 I might say a verse and then end the song on a big screen Picture that from a small town with big dreams From flying coach to buying coach, I'm in between I'm not a star, somebody lied I ride the subway as a car, I'm gettin by My life is hard Not all the time although yes I'm ready to die, ain't trying starve I'm on the grind from poverty to the bottom line And my barter time concluding only with dollar signs [Hook] [Verse 2: Uptown XO] I need change like a dollar for four quarters I want fame, I can't lie to all my supporters Pops wasn't around like immigration at the border Illegal aliens gave me my alias, one saucer We ate off the same plate, became a part of Each other, we was moving as one cause one thought could Change the world, Eric Clapton with the guitar Could talk in the d**h but the sun is even a dying star Had a couple meetings, guess we ain't poppin enough ace Rappers incriminatin like it's no open and shut case For no one time waits, me and my primates Had guns like prom dates, look me in my face Have you ever seen time stand still? Ask yourself questions like why does man k**? But f** it, cause even Big Daddy Kane was Abel So I'mma spoil my kids like the fruit Eve gave you [Hook] [Verse 3: yU] Now peep the pattern as we movin on up the ladder Had a dream of how we beam up, puttin the focus on what matters Most, damn it, I hope that y'all ain't think that the ??? It would never let up, never, full court press upon the ball Buildin bridges in this rigid bidness, plus stay on our pivot Pilin albums with a different stylin We spit to shift the balance The District Diamond fill up they mind with the realest of rhymin' Visions get wide when I apply it, now it's livin inside 'em Borrowed tomorrow and gave back through my raps, our motto Gotta let y'all know, so our steps led a path to follow Yeah, son, bread crumbs, left two steps from the edge Not scared, feelin prepared, that's for whenever that bread comes Never loafin with potent, the shop's forever open Speakers smokin with O sh** to crack your windows open And get to zonin, jonin on whoever want it We go in on every song that we on because we tryna do it all
