(Intro)
A wise man once said
The best way to predict the future, is to invent it
So if opportunity never come knocking at the door
Build your own goddamn door
(Verse 1)
Have you ever had a dream that you was famous and rich?
Woke up broken hearted, told myself imma never quit
Momma always told me get that money and find your niche
Record labels turned me down and threw my soul in a ditch
Where I'm from the young don't make it so the music's my outlet
When I make it don't call my phone to the people who doubted
Hip Hop is full of bums getting paid, its overcrowded
I'm more disappointed at the fact y'all even allowed it
Forget what the label say, imma make it
Billboard charts, give me time imma break it
Give me a chance, god dammit imma take it
Full speed ahead and it ain't no breakin
Music save me from a life of crime, invest my life in these rhymes
Ain't no sleep I'm on my grind!
(Chorus)
It be like that sometimes
Working overtime, Hustling on the grind
Trying to get rich off these rhymes
It be like that sometimes
Out here in these streets, 7 days a week
No days off it ain't no sleep
(Hook)
It be like that sometimes x9
(Verse 2)
It be like that sometimes I'm a servant
To the music, record every night till my throat get the hurting
Man im working!
Started from the bottom now I'm emerging
Cause I'm trying to get this money while y'all out here soul searching
Time to get it I'm on deck, batter up I'm next
Booked a flight and got a ticket, a One-Way to success
The new key to saving Hip-Hop is what King Dre possess
Cause from the day I bought my first mic I knew that I was blessed
Flow sick like the Swine
King Dre in his prime
So deep with these rhymes, you can feel it in your spine
Working overtime, It's my time to shine
I'm divine, I can't do no 5-9
(Chorus)
(Hook)
