B.G. & The Chopper City Boyz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ayo for real
Shit is just different now
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah
I'm doin' me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah
Woah
I think I know just how
This game works I'm about
To take it over, said I'm, taking over now
They wanna ask me how
I got this figured out
I'm taking over, said I'm, taking over now
Yeah
Things have changed for the better now
Remember back in the days when I would lay around
Now I'm never really off of my feet
Find me working and chillin, just walking round in the street
I'm tryna' see life, better yet expand my mind
New days are given and I can never rewind
So in this moment I'll live, always hope for the best
No normality I never wanna live like the rest
So now I really think I gotta choose a side
Trust my gut with what it tells me and I'll ride
I've learned a lot of new things, a lot has happened in the past year
It seems like lately almost everything is shifting gears
But I know it's for the positive
The world could be cold, I'm tryna keep my heart the opposite
I'm taking control, accolades and my accomplishments
I'm telling woah, I really feel like I've unlocked it now let's go
I think I know just how
This game works I'm about
To take it over, said I'm, taking over now
They wanna ask me how
I got this figured out
I'm taking over, said I'm, taking over now
And now that it's gotten started I never wanna stop
Continuing all my days while working round the clock
Listen cause this shit I drop facts
Got my life down like the fucking boom clap, did you hear that?
But really that's just me I'm showing off
Haters try talking loud but I just tow em off
Labels bumping me now, I know they've heard my songs
Going hard meant to ask why ya'll been going soft
This is raw talent, confidence in what I'm dope at
Six years down I'm showing artist where the ropes at
Look at me now I'm pretty happy and I'll show that
Holding my ground and never leaving so just know that I'm always around
Through the winter, summer, moving like a runner
Dropping shit harder than a powerful cold stunner
This is way too much, I just had to let it out
Be yourself, don't ever let em tell you what you about c'mon
I think I know just how
This game works I'm about
To take it over, said I'm, taking over now
They wanna ask me how




I got this figured out
I'm taking over, said I'm, taking over now
