[Verse 1]
I paid my dues, now I’m really on
? to the SEA put my city on
Left the condo for a bigger home
Everything clean like my chicken bones
I work hard, I work hard for it
Had to go back to the chalkboard
We was touring countries all foreign
Now I don’t gotta open car doors
So say whats up to my haters at the club tonight
I’ll be busy singing my daughter lullaby’s
When she sleep, I hit the booth and get super lit
Living my dreams like I sleep in another life
Living my dreams like I sleep in another life, yeah
The tensions so thick, you could cut with a bu*ter knife, yeah
If that’s your example of artists, then what am I?
You lied to consumer, you say that you booming
That’s probably why Metro don’t trust you, gosh
[Hook/Chorus]
I am not surprised, I am not surprised, yeah
Had to optimize, then monopolize, yeah
We turn out the lights then we come alive, yeah
All these dollar signs, ain’t no 9 to 5, yeah
I am not surprised, I am not surprised, yeah
Had to optimize, then monopolize, yeah
We turn out the lights then we come alive, yeah
All these dollar signs, ain’t no 9 to 5, yeah
[Verse 2]
10 million sold, go and look at that
Ain’t no middleman gonna get any of that
I s** at math, but I know how to add (one plus one)
That’s a whole lotta money
Bought my baby’s mama mama a pad
Wow, it was (?) on stage looking like the white James Brown
There’s a whole lotta people in this arena and you know it sold out
Took my daughter on the road and she pointing’ at me from the crowd
Saying, “That’s my daddy, top 5 on stage,” no doubt
In God we trust, God we trust
They ain’t came in the same way
They are not with us, not with us
Came back and it’s game time
This the follow-up, and now I’m up
I decided that was not enough
Dopps and Boodo with that final touch
Competition, go and line ’em up
I run this s--t, I run this s--t
Put that on my momma
I done this s--t, I done this s--t since I was pushing a Honda
No one hit s--t, no one hit s--t, platinum plaques in mi casa
And my accountant’s dead (rest in peace)
Couldn’t count the commas
[Hook/Chorus]
I am not surprised, I am not surprised, yeah
Had to optimize, then monopolize, yeah
We turn out the lights then we come alive, yeah
All these dollar signs, ain’t no 9 to 5, yeah
I am not surprised, I am not surprised, yeah
Had to optimize, then monopolize, yeah
We turn out the lights then we come alive, yeah
All these dollar signs, ain’t no 9 to 5, yeah
