Sun Yehoshua - Grayscale lyrics

[verse] Another day, another dollar That I'm not gettin', cause I stopped pitching My free time for hire, started watching the clock Never know if your time's up or not So I'm here with my stomach in knots Patiently waiting for my chance to be the n***a on top Cause since birth I've been traumatized Daddy left and mommy lied Petrified by thoughts of mine Life seen through adolescent eyes Fast forward through the years and I'm still feeling no different Still the synonym to vicious and my name better be mentioned In yo' top 5, cause I do strive for greatness They telling me I'm gon' pop, but in due time, I'm waiting How the f** they not gon' notice me? Yeah dog, I'm saying I ain't playing, bout to start asking for payment to hear these verses I'm slanging But I ain't after franklins or a dollar incentive I'm tryna diminish that factor as a piece that went missing Some say that I'm too dismissive and have some bit wrong intentions But f** their judgement them the same n***as that never would listen And claim they like me for hype Nah n***a I ain't that type And I won't name drop but go ask a rapper willing to bite And sacrifice originality for fame for a moment As I aim to own and control it and take out what's been bogus Living la vida loca All these thoughts got me choked up Silence I try to hold, but My uncle taught me to stay tough Never said that I know much Wouldn't dare to pretend But the message is crystal clear from beginning to end Another day, another dollar That I'm not gettin', cause I stopped pitching My free time for hire, started watching the clock Never know if your time's up or not So I'm here with my stomach in knots Patiently waiting for my chance to be the n***a on top Yeah
