Ashanti "The Mad Violinist" Floyd - Look At Me Now lyrics

[Verse 1: Emilio Rojas] They told me not to cave under pressure, be brave under pressure All I wanted was my face inside a frame on the dresser They told me that only if I switched lanes, it'd be better But I finally broke the chains of the game, my oppressor Made a mistake and I got hitched to a Canadian, half-Iranian Crazy b**h so she could get her papers with, daddy was crazy rich I should've made him pay for it, at a rate of 20K inside a safe It would've made my rent, that would've made a dent That would've made it worth it, I could've made him mute And that would've made it perfect, I wonder what would happen now If immigration heard this, would they haul my a** away The next day while I was working? Now that's what I call Leaving on the high y'all, I'm flying out when I ball Like buying out the sky mall, while y'all are stopping at your problems Instead of switching grinds, tripping over hurdles and sprinting over that finish line [Hook: Dion Primo] They said I never would make it, I was the one they counted out Look at how far I could take it, I'm in the sky, would you look at me now? Look at me now, look at me now, yeah [Verse 2: Emilio Rojas] I be in and out of court still, living out of sorts And I'm tripping 'cause this sh**'s a contradiction of my morals I'm systematically letting the system have it And getting them b**hes moving like I was in human trafficking When Green give me that green light, I'm going in And I'm moving fans so much that they getting motion sick But I'm emotionless, ain't nobody cold as this You saying you as dope as me, homie, I think you hoping it I'm focusing on just one thing, y'all hoping I'm bringing that city back Like I'm Lebron but I only want rings, I'm cavalier and I spit heat And this week, I'mma get the cash for a chandelier like I hit peak I'm getting mines, me and winning is intertwined At any step, I could blow, it's like I'm walking on mines While y'all are stopping at your problems instead of switching grinds Tripping over hurdles and sprinting over that finish line [Hook] [Verse 3: Emilio Rojas] Emilio supplying that real sh**, if you look me in my eyes You could feel it, all my frenimies, they tried to conceal it Revelations ain't the ending, it's the time for revealing They envious, they eyes have been peeling, snakes shed skin To blow, I'll escape from New York like I'm Snake Plissken I'm staring in at the city, know I'm committed The voice of my generation and now, they starting to listen [Hook]
