T.I. - Catch This Wave lyrics
Translee Took them chains off round my Put them back round my necklace Working till I can't sleep no more But that money just worth my stress I bet you knew that Ya no I bet you knew that Can't catch this wave Can't catch this wave Not with your du rag on TIP One of these days I'm gon be Way far away so low-key? And I don't give a damn What your mum say You f** n***a still don't know me and I don't want to hear bout your bread Until you rich enough to not get shot by the police Translee Can't catch this wave Can't catch this wave Not with your du rag on We taking them shackles off I want the gold rings Like my uncle in Saginaw My bandwagon to heavy I'm keeping it steady By taking that wagon off Freeing myself from all the Constraints Social Media & Weed Alcohol Sex & greed It's looking like a new leave it to me I'm blessed up Been running my check up How you beef & you ain't never had you a life insurance Or a checkup Get your self respect up Been drowning in bullsh** From the neck down to the neck up And still found a way to be Next up Like what what what what what This tha new sub culture in Rap It's called being real no matter what's going on in the trap And being unapologetically black These are facts the leading my waves at He's the Only God for the maps More facts Mean while the gatekeepers in Raps only getting more lacs We can learn from Mufasa n***as need to more faster For they sons a new chapter Open up the new black panther in our blood I'm more Malcom than Martin & I'm sorry Nat Turner & the Garvey Its a war in our own backyard So I ain't going to the Army Translee Took them chains off round my Put them back round my necklace Working till I can't sleep no more But that money just worth my stress I bet you knew that Ya no I bet you knew that Can't catch this wave Can't catch this wave Not with your du rag on TIP One of these days I'm gon be Way far away so low-key? And I don't give a damn What your mum say You f** n***a still don't know me and I don't want to hear bout your bread Until you rich enough to not get shot by the police Can't catch this wave Can't catch this wave Not with your du rag on TIP Ok tryna make it in this motherf**er Got me ridin dirty like the mud puddle What's a hate crime to a fun lover Tear the block down while you burn rubber Wit tha top down motion picture sh** Make it cinematic it done been a menace Since I thought about my power implemented For tha conversation safe tha say hypothetically ??? Thinking as I can ever be Want be bothered by that bullsh** you telling me No time for back & forth So let it be I'm just tryna be a better me Walk around a millionaire in Prison Could as just as easy got a law degree Could've just as easy got a**a**inated Stead it's hundreds me & anybody else to make it sh** have some money doesn't really mean sh** Cause If you ain't happy n***a you ain't sh** I done had every ho I done seen wit you Boy your whole swag make a scene issue After issue n***a soft as tissue huh Running when they come to get you Huh Till they catch up wit you put that ratchet to you Now I bet you see tha big picture huh TIP I'm just saying Like one of these n***as I promise
