Shelem - Get It Like lyrics

[Hook] x 2 I been out here tryna get it like I been out here tryna get it like Get it like Pedal to the metal I'm a rebel Never settle for my level Get my bread up for a better life I been out here tryna get it like I been out here tryna get it like Get it like The only way to win is if you finish I been sprintin for a minute Gotta get in where you fit in right [Verse 1] Penny for your thoughts? I need about 5 Cause I'm a real nickel 'til the day that I die That I display in my eye Conveying a mind that cannot be swayed to the side Slave to my pride Wade through the tide Wait for the day I can say I'm the greatest alive Straight to the face the guy who denied me a taste of the pie I been gettin live in the dead of night Future lookin brighter than a set of lights And the day that imma let up When Gehenna freezes over and the devil rockin hella ice Sometimes when I speak I hear my brother Mama always told me and Ced alike But John & I don't think so different We both on this frickin mission Tryna get this cheddar up and live a better life [Hook] [Verse 2] Youngin I been out here tryna get paid Couldn't make the cut, it was time to switch blades Not the type to let the difficulty of it dissuade Comin for the ice cream this game Lookin like a lick aye Aye See the fakin comin every which way You could drown in all the nonsense, it's a pretty big wave But these people shallow you don't need to swim so just wade Just wait On it All you gotta do is want it The rest is easy it just takes a lot of grindin If you put the time in you'll be shinin Trust that God has perfect timing n***a I been Tryna make a k**in If them peoples catch imma get a sentence Only time the talk to us n***as willin- Ly if you own the buildin, you get to sh** on all the tenants Thought it was over when they gave us independence But December 6th was not July 4th It's not important cause we didn't win a war They don't respect you if you don't take it by force But maybe I'm just reachin I apologize for preachin I just hate when n***as make excuses For be in useless Even with this crooked system you can do it Imma prove it watch [Hook] x 2
