Eli-J Lyrics

It ain't nothing I want more
I don't want anything more than this.

Ain't nothing I want more
There isn't anything more I want.

I ain't c-
I'm not compromised.

I told you, when I first came here, I said, "I ain't come here to waste my time"
I stated clearly that I came here to accomplish something meaningful and I will not allow any distractions to hinder me.

I came here
I arrived at this place.

They gave us a chance to get in, like we asked for
We were given an opportunity to enter as we had requested.

And that's, that's what we here to do
That's what we are here for.

(Yeah, nigga, 26)
Yeah, I acknowledge that I'm 26 years old.

The job still ain't done
The task hasn't been completed yet.

(Straight up)
To tell the truth.

But I, I said, "You, you know what I'm here for"
But I made it clear that you know what I'm here for.

Back on top, punchin' the clock, clutchin' sanity
Being back on top, struggling to keep my sanity while working hard every day.

I got more cribs than Habitat for Humanity
I own more houses than Habitat for Humanity, an organization that builds homes for those in need.

Shit profound, we propagating more profanity
The things we say are deep and meaningful, yet we still promote vulgarity.

Paid off collections from recollections of calamity (oh shit, look, that nigga gonna shoot)
I paid off debts caused by memories of past unfortunate events (oh no, someone is about to shoot).

The shit pop off, I learned to duck under the canopy (oh shit, run, nigga, run)
When a violent incident occurs, I've learned to take cover under trees (oh no, run!).

'Til it cool off, they murked a nigga right in front of me
Until things calm down, someone was murdered right in front of me.

Told him to come off his chain for tryna floss
Someone was ordered to give up their jewelry for showing off.

Died over a cross just like the start of Christianity
Someone was killed over a cross, similar to the beginning of Christianity.

When I was a boy, the teacher often reprimanded me (Jermaine)
When I was younger, my teacher often scolded me (my name is Jermaine).

Thought it was toys, it was a Glock this nigga handed me
I mistook a firearm for a toy when someone gave it to me.

I busted the trees, was barely strong enough to squeeze
I fired the gun, but I was barely strong enough to pull the trigger.

Bullets traveled through leaves, it probably killed somebody randomly
Bullets went through leaves, and it's possible that someone was killed unintentionally.

Ran in the crib and played it off amongst the family
I ran inside and acted normal around my family.

Nightmare scenes, the police finally apprehended me
I experienced terrifying moments, and the police eventually caught me.

Woke up screamin', seen a demon had his hand on me
I had a nightmare and woke up screaming, feeling like I was being touched by a demonic figure.

Still sport the scar on my arm from where he branded me
I still have a scar on my arm from where the demonic figure marked me.

Like a Que Dog, my niggas burnin' with the mute off
Like a member of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity, my friends are ready for anything without hesitation.

Loud pack smoke through the cracks, I catch a contact
Marijuana smoke is coming through the walls, and I inhale the secondhand smoke.

Triggerin' a paranoid mindset, now I'm back
Causing my mind to become paranoid, and now I'm back to the present moment.

Teeterin' between enlightened and insanity
I'm living in the balance between being enlightened and being insane.

Now that I'm rich, I feel nobody understandin' me
Now that I'm wealthy, it seems that nobody truly understands me.

All I can do is cut the mic on, holler at you
All I can do is turn on the microphone and talk to you.

Can't let the fame scare me off from speaking candidly
I can't let my fame prevent me from speaking my mind honestly.

All them niggas is so Kane, they started singin' like Danity
All those guys are so fake that they started singing like the band Danity Kane.

Now I'm left here, paid like I planned to be, damn
Now I'm here, wealthy like I had planned to be, damn.

A lot of times, those situations are, um, are handled way before the time comes
Most of the time, those types of situations are dealt with well in advance.

In the summer, I think when you truly prepare yourself, and
In the summertime, I believe that when you completely prepare yourself, and.

With training and conditioning, and things like that
Through extensive training and conditioning, and similar efforts.

When you cheat yourself, you fail in those moments
If you don't commit fully, you will fall short when those critical moments arrive.

You know, you crash, and when you really put the time in and
You'll fail if you don't put in the necessary work, but if you do.

Whether people see it, or whether people know it or not
Regardless of whether or not people are aware of it.

You know, it always come to light
It will always become evident.
