Blowin Smoke
Dreamville Lyrics

Blowing smoke, showing growth, no one's close
I have progressed a lot, but still have more potential to grow and nobody else can match up to me.

Never mashing brakes on breakbeats or going broke ever
I never pause my music and never go broke because my songs are always in demand.

Never, Rozay rich forever
I'll always be rich, like Rick Ross.

Learn how to take a punch can't be a bitch forever
I have learned how to handle criticism and not be a coward all the time.

Cause it's gonna come, if not from a fight
Challenges in life come not only from physical fights.

With that big ass bully nigga you never quite liked
A bully you never liked can give you a hard time.

And just from life, knocking you on your ass
Life can beat you down without any warning.

Turning off all of your lights like Teddy Pendergrass
Life can even kill you like it took Teddy Pendergrass's life.

Or mama on her last dollar, tryna stretch it
A poor mother trying to make ends meet and struggling with finances.

Gotta pay electric, gotta pay the water
She has to pay basic utilities like electricity and water.

Why she wanna a daughter when it's hard enough tryna raise two boys
It's difficult for her to raise two sons, so why does she want a daughter as well?

Back in the days, I would've hated on the new boys
In the past, I would have criticized new artists who couldn't make meaningful music.

Just saying, cause the radio was just playing
I'm saying this because the radio was promoting these same artists.

And I'm thinking to myself, damn they came and went
They arrived in the music industry, but disappeared soon after.

A couple singles but could never be the main event
They had only a few hit songs, but never made it to the top.

Without substance, something for them to grab on
They lacked substance in their music for people to connect with.

Wonder if niggas know they time is short and they won't last long
I wonder if these artists realize that their fame and success won't be long-lasting.

I ain't even certain, one day they love you
I'm not even sure of how unpredictable the music industry can be.

Next day they put the niggas you put on above you
One day, you may be on top, and the next day, the people you helped get there will be above you.

I let you niggas talk, it ain't no need to interrupt you
I don't interfere with your music career, it's just not worth it.

Cause my album 'bout to be the biggest fuck you
My upcoming album will respond to all the negative criticism and be a huge hit.

And don't worry, we'll let you back on the train
Don't worry, we'll forgive you and let you back in the game.

Riding Jermaine, once you see these niggas not in my lane
Once you see that I'm way ahead of my competition, you'll want to collaborate with me.

I pray to god end they reign
I hope that their time in the music industry comes to an end soon.

I fucked a bitch I used to dream about
I had sex with a girl I used to fantasize about.

And could've died when I came from disbelief
It was such a surreal experience that I almost couldn't believe it.

Now I don't wish to speak on a name, that shit is weak
I don't want to mention the girl's name because it's not respectful.

We the new lost boys, shouts to Mr. Cheeks
We are the new generation of lost boys, just like the 90s rap group, the Lost Boys, and I want to give a shout out to Mr. Cheeks.

Shouts to Queens, getting money regiment with my getting money regime
Shout out to Queens, where I come from, where everyone is trying to earn some money like me.

I'm a money machine, developing the routine, nah mean?
I'm always finding ways to make money and it's just part of my routine now, you know what I mean?

Nah mean, nah mean?
Do you know what I mean?

That was like a Jay Z drink
My previous line was just like something Jay Z would say.

B-are-are-ing, warm up
This is the end of the song and it's time to wrap up.
