John Ibe - Counter Wise lyrics

[Verse 1: John Ibe] This is the moment I dreamed about Mama would wake up and tell me to clean the house Now it's dinner table reservations Laughing at how they thought we wouldn't make it Man it was destined and only a matter of time I never hated, I waited in line for the rappers ahead of me Pushing carts at Kroger, sun on my shoulder Had to find a way to make it They way that I wanted and couldn't let nobody stop it Man it's like a picture and these haters cropping n***as wanna talk, I'm not in if it's not about profit Man I got men who would work in the office And count up the bucks like it's part of an audit I'm about business and money, it's no time for haters ‘cause all of ‘em love me I been thinkin' ‘bout it, I been quarterbackin' I been adding numbers, I been adding fractions Dreaming panoramic Yeah, what is attachment? I know that I'm taking a risk for this life that we live All for the riches but daddy would tell me to focus in school and get a degree Get a J-O-B but that ain't me, I'm on a mission n***a [Hook: John Ibe] My clock goin' counterwise, ‘cause I put in overtime I know I'ma shine My clock goin' counterwise, ‘cause I put in overtime I know I'ma shine 24 7, all I do is grind Knew that I would make it, only doubt is time See the way we living in the grape vines You gon' wanna follow god and get behind [Verse 2: OG Maco] [?] twisting in my trigger finger, I can't wait to hit you like a linebacker Attention b**h, I'm ‘bout to bless you We don't pray for b**hes and everything up there's a dirty chopper Rifle loaded, missiles stolen n***a Layin' [?], demons pissin', dragon spitting Dragon, she gon' pop it Maco, I just handle business Spraying b**hes and lil visits, ‘bout the digits Leave me [?], I'm as small as temples We vacate, I shoot your condos in December Bought some trees, Sonny Trees prolly took a trip I'm probably mental, Fuji focus, get the picture Yeah yeah, I ain't even gotta clean the dental I ain't even gotta chew my food I ain't even have to see these n***as I ain't never have to care ‘bout rules [?] the option, change his status Mhm, mhm, yeah yeah Diamonds dancing in the light Mhm, mhm, yeah yeah Lately can't get at the ice On my own two legs, a n***a bangin' [Hook: John Ibe] My clock goin' counterwise, ‘cause I put in overtime I know I'ma shine My clock goin' counterwise, ‘cause I put in overtime I know I'ma shine 24 7, all I do is grind Knew that I would make it, only doubt is time See the way we living in the grape vines You gon' wanna follow god and get behind [Verse 3: Danny Seth] Pause, let me take me a breather Man they're forgetting about me like I'm amnesia I'ma keep moving, my brother, kinda like a seizure I'ma go [?] for war, man I bring the ether Ever talk about the Jay-Z Nas beefer You wanna take a break, well take a break And not just [?] to a beef And that's why I find a girl called Adrina And then I sniff her white keys, Alicia Got my [?] freak, now I need her But I just give her dick then I leave her And that's real life stories I don't play ‘bout that Maury And when you hit it rich, come back, get the f**in' birds Get some words [?] [Verse 4: Jace] Tryna slide in a Lexus, like Alexander Ovechkin Pulled up to the next light flexing Remember when I didn't have a rental Now I'm at the montage Thinkin' ‘bout getting me a residence Lookin' like the east side's president While I'm only countin' up the deficit n***a, how you gon' talk sh**?
