Kardi - Busy lyrics

[Intro: (Snippet from “Friday Night Lights”)] We gotta lighten up. We're 17 Do you feel 17? [Verse 1: Kardi] I got big dreams Ironically, I never sleep because of it I'm working when these other kids on they slumber sh** Sacrficing all I got simply for the love of it But I been flirting with fortune, and I'm tryna be f**ing rich So I'm grinding till the sun rising Gotta make a beat, write a rhyme and read political science I just wanna be recognized as the livest n***a to come outta New York in a long time I just don't got time to relax and just kick back Get smacked, I gotta do some homework or kick raps People think I got kidnapped cuz they never get hit back They ask me where I been at, I'm like, “I'm writing this track” I wish I could chill but I really got some work to do This sh** is more important, please don't take it personal But f** the games, I'm tryna charter planes And make sure the whole world knows my name, so I gotta say [Bridge] Wish I could stay, but I really gotta go I got school in the morning and tonight I got a show I got no time for rest because I'm always on the road But you can hit me later, here's the number to my phone [Hook] I'm busy Let me call you later Wish I could talk, but I gotta get this paper Baby, I'm busy, chasing my dreams So please leave your name and number after the beep Said homie, I'm busy Let me call you later Wish I could talk, but I gotta get this paper I'm busy, chasing my dreams So please leave your name and number after the beep, peace [Verse 2] Got a lot more on my plate than the average kid Then again, I ain't tryna do no average sh** So I'm a loan on some Stafford sh** Later for these broads, my whole family counting on me like an abacus I rarely see my pops and he ain't a deadbeat Work 100 hours a week just to make ends meet Plus doing overtime to afford prep school Me being unsuccessful would be straight disrespectful Where I grew up, n***as barely got a pot to pee And now I'm brushing shoulders with the aristocracy I'm tryna live like them, man, this broke sh** is not for me So failure's not an option, and neither is mediocrity My doctor say with all the stress, I'm playing with my health But these damn student loans ain't gonna pay themselves So f** being broke, I'd rather be in a ditch No rest for the weary, I can sleep when I'm rich [Bridge] [Hook] [Verse 3] I can already see it now I'm that new n***a everybody talk about Headlining SOB's, in a day it sold out Look around and I see Jay and ‘Ye in the crowd Every major label's saying they who I should sign with Anyone who fronted suddenly is back on my dick And I'm doing more numbers than a Cyrus Blow up, and now that I'm rich, my famine like I'm Irish I'll make it come true, wait till I get my money right With my drive, I'll retire by 25 This game is real frustrating though, I can't lie But I'ma make it, I'm just waiting for my time This ain't Maybach music, this is Metrocard music For anyone who's grinding that was told that they couldn't do it So while you're partying, I'm locked in, working Cuz I know that in the end, it'll all be worth it [Bridge] [Hook] x2
