Verse 1
Money, power, respect the ambitions of a ruler
Masterminding their rise pulling liquor out the cooler
Whether they on the streets or pray to God to fill their pockets
Know they gon' keep the faith until the day they see them profits/prophets
Hustlers they be grinding like they working on commission
Pockets is looking slim i'm tryna step up their nutrition
I admire perseverance but look, just being real
Dream chasing feels meek till the day we touch a mill
On the other side n******gs pouring liquor for the fallen
Living for the night cause you might not wake to see the morning
Mumsie stay on your back she don't wanna see you amount ta
Selling feigns prescriptions they can't purchase over the counter
f** you know they strive, nine to five for the rent
Ain't tryna be no statistic less we talking one per cent
Hope I'm pouring out
Blessings till my essence overflows the cup
Tryna see enough figures after the decimal to round my demons up
Priceless
Chorus
Living for tomorrow
Hope we're not misunderstood
Solace and sorrow
But come as you are, wish on a star
To take you afar
Verse 2
Only villains become a martyr
Left home before my time in the footsteps of my father
Probably why I got that hunger rumbling in my tummy
I'm grinning from ear to ear when these haters look at me funny
I only move the real, fakers ain't in the plan
If they ain't speaking the truth I can never understand
Still with the same fam, If they should ever fall;
I pick up the phone I don't collect the call
These hustles shift keys like they typing on a qwerty
Dreaming of going clean but them streets'll do you dirty
Whether keys or swords, they tryna open them doors
When you hear a fella clapping you ain't hearing no applause
Even though time is precious, still we reckless with time
Living reckless, selling records only things on our mind
f** being born again prematurely just for a rep
The bigger the timepiece the more you watching your step
Yeah you know this sh**'s priceless
Chorus
Living for tomorrow
Hope we're not misunderstood
Solace and sorrow
But come as you are, wish on a star
To take you afar
Bridge
If they ask we live for tomorrow
To get by we beg steal and borrow
On my mark where I lead you follow
No regrets too much pride to swallow
So let's go, right now time's a wasting
All those dreams out there for the chasing
Way beyond thought purpose or reason
We get up get down or get even
Chorus
Living for tomorrow
Hope we're not misunderstood
Solace and sorrow
But come as you are, wish on a star
To take you afar
