Got It Going On
H-ico aka DA FUNKYLOOPER Lyrics

A lot is happening behind the curtains
There are many things happening secretly that I am aware of.

I see you rappers caping
I see these rappers pretending to be something they are not.

Acting like you got it all while you got nothing.
They pretend to have everything while actually having nothing.

What you know about husting
What do they know about working hard?

What you know about grinding
What do they know about putting in the work and effort?

All you rappers just faking
All these rappers are just pretending to be something they are not.

Started from a Zero we're going to a 100
I started from nothing, but I am determined to reach success.

Yeah I'm on a mission and it's not impossible
I am on a mission, and I believe nothing is impossible.

You know Imma get it
I am determined to achieve my goals.

We making moves while you sleeping
I am making progress while others are slacking.

Getting stressed all the time
I am facing challenges and obstacles that often cause me stress.

Depression is my friend now but I'm still on course
I am dealing with depression, but I am still dedicated to my mission.

Slept on rapper but I'm packed with skills rappers gotta chill
People underestimate me as a rapper, but I have skills that make others jealous.

Em Chains on Nike on their feet but they got no studio
Other rappers may have expensive chains and shoes, but they lack my dedication and work ethic in the studio.

Looking for a free session rappers gotta chill
Other rappers want to use my studio time for free, but they need to work just as hard as I do.

Still doing my own
I am still hustling and working towards my own success.

Working towards the jackpot
I am working hard to reach my ultimate goal.

Started from scratch but I'm hoping for the best
I started with nothing, but I am optimistic about my future.

It doesn't matter how long it takes
My determination is not affected by how long it takes to reach my goals.

The mission is to proceed and secure my place
My mission is to succeed and secure my spot in the industry.

I cross over troubles on my lane
I am facing challenges and overcoming them on my path to success.

I do it hard yeah I go like a slave
I work hard and dedicate myself to my craft like a slave.

I gotta keep it going
I have to continue hustling and striving for success.

The mission keeps on going
My mission and drive to succeed will never stop.

One in the same, me and you
We are similar in our drive and determination to succeed.

We got a lot to prove, started subpar now we touching the roof
We started from the bottom, but now we are making huge strides and reaching success.

Now my tongue forever stuck in the booth
I am constantly creating and putting in work in the studio.

Feeling the venomous ways, mental mathematics my proof
I am aware of the negativity around me, and my work is my proof of my worth and success.

Things ain't adding up
Something is off and not making sense.

Don't need a cosign, cuz when we throw signs
I do not need validation from others because my success and hard work are already evident.

We leave you bleeding or you black and blue
We are so successful and formidable that our competition is metaphorically beaten and hurt by our presence.

But through the violence we'll be pushing through
Despite the negativity and competition, we will continue pushing forward and succeeding.

Never was in my scheme, spreading peace
I am not interested in spreading peace, but in achieving success and making a name for myself.

It be the cleanest
I am achieving success and climbing the ladder in an honorable way.

Turn up the K Dot, ain't no love in this mAAd City
I am turning up music by Kendrick Lamar because there is no love in this allegedly maddening industry.

Break a left on my block, ride slow keep it in motion
I am progressing slowly and steadily, but consistently towards my goals.

Not many is built for this life, I was chosen
Not many are cut out for this challenging life and industry, but I was destined for it.

I keep the mast high, storm is in the ocean waves choppy
I keep my head high and remain optimistic even in difficult situations.

But the cuts never sloppy
Even when facing obstacles and challenges, I remain focused and precise in my work and actions.

They tend to copy us
Others try to imitate and reproduce our success and style.

Copy? Repeat
Others try to replicate our work and success, often unsuccessfully.

Now send the signal back through the monitor
Share my message and music with others through technology.

People be quoting but never do honor you
People may praise and praise my work, but they do not always honor or appreciate it.

I'm spitting these heavenly sonnets for the ones that will follow it's young Oscar
I am creating meaningful and poetic work for those who will appreciate it and continue my legacy.

Gotta keep on moving yeah
I have to keep pushing and moving forward in my journey towards success.

The mission has to go on yeah
My mission and drive to succeed will never stop.
