Sk, the Novelist - An $8 Story lyrics

[Sk] Yeah, yeah C'mon Bounce, bounce Shout out to AVL Battlegrounds Hip-Hop Battle League [Verse 1] I got the Vans on my feet, it's the ultimate kick I don't even skateboard, it's just that ideal fit Cause if my feet are cozy, I'm a comfortable man Even busking in the street with 8 bucks in my can Nothing on this perfect day could ruin my vibe Not even when a drunken bum asked me for five I knew I had it on me and although I could've lied I told him why I needed it and maybe next time You see I chose to go with honesty, I knew he wasn't dumb He just witnessed Mike L!VE banging on the drums And I was holding on the guitar with the frets all in my fingers Making jazz jams joking how I'm not a singer We're picking up expenses from a show last week That even for the sales went well if you ask me And actually the event film would probably agree That's why I'm busking for bucks to get this footage to me The payment plan set up for these next 3 weeks These are the humble beginnings of "First in Flyte" league I've got the first payment, Filthy's got the second half As I stepped inside of my car, I happened to laugh [Bridge 1] I'm looking in my future and I'm not really sure If you're a musician I know you've been here before There's an unopened phone bill laying on my floor If you're a musician I know you've been here before [Hook 1] You've been here before You've been here before Don't you front on me dog You've been here before There's an unopened phone bill laying on my floor If you're a musician I know you've been here before [Verse 2] 5 grand in loans just to finish my degree Who on God's planet would love to be me? Plus my dream job is in the music industry So I won't be debt free until 2033 "Thank Hov for granting me this moment of clarity" I memorized your lyrics and I still look like a charity I pay for my apartment monthly on chunks of borrowed money They say it's called a leash- I mean a lease... That's funny Some wise folks they might call me a hostage I'm just trying to keep my sentences inside the margins I'm just trying push my tape and get myself rich Buy a pearl necklace for my beautiful- girlfriend (Rachel: That's me!) There's a fork in the road, I grabbed and used it If you seen a fork and didn't grab it then you're stupid I'm the kind of guy to take a bite out of life And you bet you I'm a cut the cake if I ever find a knife If it's food for thought, call me Wolfgang Puck I've coined more terms than full change for a buck I look inside my pocket, I've got change for a buck And I just promised Britt I'd never change for a buck [Bridge 2] I'm looking in my future and I'm not really sure If you're a musician I know you've been here before There's a fridge in my home I call it "Coors Light galore" If you're a musician I know you've been here before [Hook 2] I know you've been here before You've been here before Don't you front on me dog, you've been here before There's a fridge in your home call it "Coors Light galore" If you're a musician I know you've been here before I know you've been here before You've been here before Don't you front on me dog, you've been here before You're looking in your future and you're not really sure If you're a musician, I know you've been here before [Outro] Yeah, phew! C'mon We're gonna ride it out like the blues man C'mon Shout out to a few North Carolina natives: L.O.D F.T.O Hunter Bennett Thiago Kilo Fresh Big Dave AVL Battlegrounds Shout out to my girlfriend She's in the room right now while I'm recording I'm being stupid Nov!
