Caleborate - August 28th lyrics

[Verse 1 - Caleborate] -Clears throat- Uh uh uh uh uh Sitting on the couch imagining it's a plane Ready for my life to change I ain't saying it's a game Swear to god My n***a's on my side and the pressure of knowing whether or not they gon survive is insane In my brain, life like running on the millions Sallie Mae keep calling like I want to know her feelings Thinking back to the times I was 17 Writing in my room couldn't wait to be a king coming soon In the booth like my tomb reincarnated let the beat come alive tell Ben to let it ride Like my bike on the side of the road when they pa** me Metaphor for life I ain't as fast but I can be Just gotta go hard and let my flow be the water to the dirt that they throw up on my name that I'm going to grow from that bullsh** 23 and ain't finished school yet Watched all my peers pa** me up cause I do this But never will I settle in and quit giving this medicine I owe it to my pops he made me to be a better him Put in so much work I'm like a certified veteran Name another n***a my age I ain't better than But still gotta preach to my mom each year like Don't worry I'll be on I'm coming up around here I got a song with G-Eazy off the strength I didn't pay for it No one tapped me in I worked hard every day for it Back when I was staying with Kim then had to move out And Daddy had to call the county jail sell his new house I would of given everything and even sold my soul for a little bit of fame and somewhere to call home Instead of waking up at 4AM and catching the bus And n***a's got the nerve to say I made it off of some luck n***a please I was working double-overtime up at Levi's Then go to school and catch the bus 3 times Eating Micky-D's, Daily Double with my free time Monopoly be the only game I play for the free fries Wonder what it's gonna take for n***a's here to realize Just cause i ain't grow up with you don't mean you need to despise My every move Know you want your homie on that pedestal But he is not me and quite frankly I am very cool Told Nick I'm finished with the album But I'm still writing records, I got something on my chest I need to say to you Sometime I see my life and it hurt So many friends I could of had instead of doing this work So many women I could of dated and made it for real Kissing in the kitchen and cuddling instead of chasing this meal I guess I put it on myself to bring my whole family wealth But I'm driven and I know that God is taking the wheel Nick the only reason that I haven't taken a deal He said I'm worth 10 times what ever offer they spill And I ain't even going to trip, I know you hating it still The bald head, [?] kid keeping it real And everybody seem to love him, they can't put no one above him even though he not auto-tuned and banging a [?] It's cause I'm from a generation where they made us with sk** And I can speak my f**ing mind without taking a pill So the next time you look my way with ice in your grill Just know I keep shining on you n***as, f** how you feel I came a long f**ing way when I moved to the Bay One bag, no money and a couch where I lay No hoes, no friends, no inside track I gave respect to everybody so I need that sh** back I just want to live my life and be the best I can be Don't know why it seem like it so hard for ya'll to see I got one question in my head it don't flee like "Why G n***a, why ya'll n***a's always hating on me" August 28th August 28th August 28th that's it right there August 28th yeah August 28th n***a August 28th August 28th [Outro / Skit] n***a this sh** is fire! I finna text this to myself, this sh** is fire Alright I got this [?] gimme I'll link up with you after I'm done Alright for sure, for sure
