Everyday (Everyday)
Money on my mind everyday (Everyday)
I'm just tryna get it either way (Either way)
Told the grim reaper, not today (Not today)
Let's celebrate (Uh)
It's okay (Okay)
Money on my mind everyday (Everyday)
I'm just tryna get it either way (Either way)
Told the grim reaper, not today (Not today)
Let's celebrate (Yeah)
The boy taking off, I'm the boy (The boy)
Running with the squad like troy (Troy)
Making cash off of my voice (Voice)
Real rap, ya'll niggas make noise (Yeah)
Steady chasing the cheddar
For the hits like berettas
Tryna keep it together
Staying calm through the weather, I've grown accustomed to rain
I ain't new to the struggle, I've grown accustomed to pain
Staying right in my lane
I ain't tryna be them
I wanna make me a milli, I got a fetish for m's
I be hanging with lions
We all kings in the den
Doing shows in japan
And stacking up on the yen cuz

If you riding with me, we can break it down like that
Steady lurking on the gram tryna see where I'm at
But I'm always gon be better than the last time you checked yeah
I ain't down to waste time
I ride with the same guys
Fake guys spitting the same lines
Same time, I'm killing showing they ain't I
But I ain't proud to say that I'm happy where I'm at now, nah
I'm steady chasing the money
I put in work for the music
They don't know what I'm going through
They just watching my doings
Man I just do it for mama
Cuz we ain't never had nothing
Man i'ma give her the finer things till her diamonds they glisten
I'm just tryna hustle it away
Told the grim reaper not today
I'm just tryna really get the pay
it's okay, it's all good
