Million Dollar Trap
J-Tek Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tryna collect myself and make it right
Wonder i f I have a dog in this fight
Hopefully someones awake through the night with me
Canโ€™t find my keys, hold on
I need to breathe, hold on
Shoulda left with me when Iโ€™m speeding down all these streets so long
And all these things that Iโ€™m seeing in all these dreams, im gone
Will you please hold on to me?
Gotta couple things that I gotta do
Gotta couple things that Iโ€™m going through
But I know one day we gon make it through
We gon make it thru
I'm gonna make a million and one dollars and do it again
Just wait til tomorrow, we won't borrow ever again
Can't wait til the day we wake up
Wake up
Wake up
We all gonna be paid up
Paid up
Paid up
Just wait
Wait
Wait
Iโ€™ve been told Iโ€™m obsessive
And I canโ€™t relay the message
I might behave so aggressive
And just to reap all my benefits
Looking down from the precipice
And I swear that weโ€™re getting there
Swear that weโ€™re getting there (Echo?)
Canโ€™t fall asleep, Iโ€™m digging deep, Iโ€™m on
Filling up all of the notes on my phone
My pictures and my emails, the devils in the details, I gotta get my time alone
Who will have the cash when itโ€™s time to move?
Who will have my back when my time is due?
But I know somehow we gon make it through
We gon make it thru
We gon make it
I'm gonna make a million and one dollars and do it again
Just wait til tomorrow, we won't borrow ever again
Can't wait til the day we wake up
Wake up
Wake up
We all gonna be paid up
Paid up
Paid up
Just wait
Wait
Wait
Just wait
Just wait
Go back to the time we were thinking out loud
Go back to the time we just want to be proud
Go back wanted everything but nothing was found
Go back to the time we were thinking out loud
Go back to the time we just want to be proud
Go back wanted everything but nothing was found
Iโ€™m unapologetically getting it ready
Curses, Iโ€™m betting it steady
Curving, defending, Iโ€™m sweaty
Putting in plenty, they petty
Promise to put in my pennies
Proof is in pudding, Iโ€™m playing pool with machetes
Once I get it, imma share it
This my custom, Iโ€™m above, and I declare it
I remain loyal and I will never be embarrassed
Picking up the slack instead of acting like im careless
Will I learn the things that I never knew?
Will I be the one that they look up to?
But I know a way we will make it through
We gon make it through
I'm gonna make a million and one dollars and do it again
Just wait til tomorrow, we won't borrow ever again
Can't wait til the day we wake up
Wake up
Wake up
We all gonna be paid up
Paid up
Paid up
Just wait
