Statik Selektah - Successful Girl lyrics

"I hope that you listen" "I know that you've been hurt many times before You close the door and you won't let it go" [Verse One] [Reks]: I know this shawty right She got a shorty right She be workin' hard so she can keep her shorty right She be on the job, 40 days and 40 nights 12 months a year, see she want a career Her parents in her ear, they swear just to mold her right Try to be aware of the peer pressures on your life To be your wife You gotta have the qualities of honesty Dedication, insight Preparation in tight times gotta grind To the whistles pay no mind when they starin' from behind Yellin', "Yo shawty, hey momma, let me holla." Say "No po' no dollar, no way don't follow." You a success gotta dress how you dress proper Act proper for the possibilities and dreams Sees how you don't cop a Attitude but you move to the beat of your own groove [Chorus] [Reks]: I never knew a la-la-la love like this Gotta be something for me to write this Common sense I should don your wrist But I'd rather give you props for accomplishments You are a Successful girl An independent woman in a stressful world My nights dream Wifey King's queen You are Success [Verse Two] [BK Cyph]: Every time I leave the house I get the side eye But I ain't slippin', Black Ice, sky high Everything Goodie, I'm just throwin' on the hoodie Tryin' to get this money I ain't out chasin' p**y Late nights Sessions in the AM Wifey in the crib Wonderin', waitin' I know it's frustratin' and you growin' impatient I gotta feed the fam ma, we gonna make it And when we do everything on me Brand new crib, red bows on the V Never have a want, get you everything you need Gucci bags, Louie V, Louie Vuitton's for your feet You was there, no matter what the circumstance When I f**ed sh** up and I hurt your plans But now I'm gettin' up Thanks to certain fans And the dreams we had Now it's workin', damn [Chorus] [Reks]: La-la-la love like this Gotta be something for me to write this Common sense I should don your wrist But I'd rather give you props for accomplishments You are a Successful girl An independent woman in a stressful world My nights dream Wifey King's queen You are Success "You can put your trust in me"
