[Intro: Ooggz]
I don't know man
Something about being great that (New York yeah that's my city)
That I want (New York yeah that's my city)
That I need man
[Verse 1: Ooggz]
New York yeah that's my city
Keep your hand outs I don't need no pity
Keep your hands to yourself cause you can't f** with me
Those who came on down goin' come up with me
You dig it
Matter of fact I retract
Never failed to protect my back
Left a trail to connect my past
If you know my name than you all know that
And the songs that they were playing
Were nothing short of amazing
I said all that they were saying
Was nothing short of myself
I know that I'm on a hill
I know that I'm going to build
A legacy on a plane
And that's all I'm going to propel
Get em
If I ain't on that scale, get em
If I can't tell my tale, get em
For those who want me failed
I pray that they won't see me real
I hope that get they prescriptions
And live a life of good health
So they can see me consistently doing better than them
Don't need to hold my hand
For people to get a feel
And if you still not a fan
I think that you need some help
I think that you need a**istance when picking songs from the shelf
You see an artist named Ooggz
I got two words that could help
Get em
[Hook: Ooggz]
("Get Em" said repeatedly in the back)
Keep reaching for the stars
When them haters always in your way (La, La, La)
Keep reaching for the stars
I got two words that you could say
Keep reaching for the stars
When-When-When them haters always in your way (La, La, La)
Keep reaching for the stars
I-I-I got two words that you could say
[Verse 2: Ooggz]
When I was young they told me all I'd ever do is fall
I graduated and I told them this was just a start
Now they kinda told that I couldn't be a star
So I kindly asked them all who the f** they are
They could remind me, tag a Facebook profile
Paint me a f**in' picture
It still would take me a while
Cause when you like me you have few friends
Grind don't stop because life don't end
I'm the sh** and my life's potent
When we cross that path know that my path won't bend
It ain't new news that my life is crazy
Dark skin man but a light skinned baby
No new friends but I like new ladies
No tv but I like my ratings ah
So I put my fingers up
And I asked them where's the love
And when you act pretentious
I won't pretend to get your facial popped
When you chose me man you knew you drew the shortest straw
f**ing with my paper get prepared to get your label rocked
All this time you got you still just trynna run the clock
I'm never lookin' back and that's why I'll never stop
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Ooggz]
This isn't vanity
This is more than a plan to me
Happy at every crumb
Will leave you none to feed your family (Word)
I'm not animal b**h I'm just an anomaly
A vocal leader who needs no one to follow me
An open ear for anyone who needs to call to me
And open arms for enemies who choose to crawl to me
So Stop in awe of me
And watch them fall to me
I'll never stop and make you hate the b**h that started me
Oh sh** you startled me
sh** this just isn't hard to me
Frequent invitations make me feel the same as bartleby
So no more hoping these stupid hold ups and hollering
I'm trynna hook up this hookah hook up and hall them in
My sound is solid packed with knowledge of Solomon
They couldn't stop me like rockets strapped to an ottoman
They said my rapping was nothing more than a hobby man
sh** I guess it's good I went to college then
[Hook]
