Nothing but the Best
EARTHGANG Lyrics

Nothin' but the best, hundred million on my mind
I only aim for the best, with a goal of achieving a fortune of one hundred million dollars

I ain't got it yet, tell me why you wastin' time?
I haven't achieved my goal yet, so why are you wasting time trying to bring me down?

I think I been saved, guessing next I'm goin' blind
I think I've been rescued from the troubles of the world, but I fear that I might lose sight of my dreams soon

What did you do expect? Nothin' but the best
What else did you expect from me besides striving for excellence and nothing less?

Uh-oh, you let the blood spill fuck up your flow
Oops, you messed up and it's showing in your performance

All my local rastas toting yopsters
All of my local Rastafarians are carrying guns (probably to protect themselves)

Rollin' ganja then I slide in vagina you sponsor
I smoke weed and then have sex with someone you're supporting financially

How that nine to five workin' out?
How's that traditional job working out for you? (implying that being a rapper is a better way to make a living)

I used to be just like you, keep in mind we do this shit for the freeski
I used to be a regular person like you, but keep in mind that we do this for the love of the game and not just for the money

Me, Johnny V, J-I-Deesky
Referring to EarthGang members

Mixtape, Weezy made it look easy
Lil Wayne made creating a mixtape seem effortless

Lil' did we know 'bout all the politics and meetings
We had no idea how much politics and behind-the-scenes stuff was involved in the music industry

And these old ass pussy niggas caught up in they feelings
These older guys are too emotional and can't handle criticism

Rat race is everlasting, I'm an eagle to it
The competition in the music industry is constant, but I'm like an eagle and rise above it

Only swoopin' when I need to do it
I only compete when I need to

Earned my stripes, bitch I'm Beetlejuice-ing
I've worked hard and earned my place, like Beetlejuice in the movie

Burnin' lights, I want to see you moving
I want to see people enjoy and dance to my music

Fertilize even though I don't believe in shooting, hey
I'll help others grow and succeed, even though I don't believe in using violence

Shit get greezy every minute that you let the skillet sit
Bad things happen when you don't take action and let problems sit

Hands free, don't say shit to me about the penmanship
I don't want to hear any criticism about my writing process

Have the Backwood rolled before I finish this, 'til it's
I want to have a joint rolled and ready to smoke by the time I finish recording this song

Huh, got to be (got to be)
I need to be more careful

More careful with the style, just
I need to be more careful with my music

Tacklin' (my issues), my issues in them Valiums
I'm trying to deal with my problems by taking Valium

You like if Sade and Juicy J had a child, well
If you're wondering what our music is like, it's a mix of Sade and Juicy J

Honey if, you brave then, maybe you should pick the style-yum
If you're up for the challenge, try to imitate our style

Ridin' on the leaves through the lightning though
Riding on the wind and experiencing dangerous situations (a metaphor for their musical journey)

Fallin' on my knees, what you like to know
Going through tough times and struggling (another metaphor for their musical journey)

I whip the feast, I put the heat while under microscopes
I create great music and perform well under pressure, even when being scrutinized

Now stream all the reasons to syphon the flow
Stream our music and support us, as we continue to create great music

Say though I gotta keep it easy, dragon fly with the reezy
I need to keep my cool and stay focused

Bat an eye at the pastor then catapult to the precint
I ignore the criticism of others and keep pushing forward

Naturally check the balance and negatively decreasing
I naturally maintain a good balance in my life and try to decrease negativity

No ration for tiger passion, abundantly me releasing
I won't hold back my passion and creativity, I'll continually express it abundantly
