Hilary $wank
Joey Bada$$ Lyrics

We don't say swag no more we say swank
The term 'swag' is outdated, so now we use 'swank'.

Yo, yo, Hip-Hop's a jungle
Hip-hop is a challenging, competitive environment.

Uh, lost in his time I'm just tryna get it like a boss in his prime
I am trying to succeed in the hip-hop industry like a successful boss.

These fake niggas sumblime, light for fine sights
There are many fake rappers trying to make it big in the industry.

Wishing we'll fortune but the price ain't quite right
We all want to be successful, but the costs of success are high.

The slice ain't quite ripe
The opportunities available are not good enough yet.

Still pulling strings how I fly but I don't like kites
I am making moves and achieving success, but I don't like being controlled.

How they gon' treat Brooklyn's finest not as fine as diamonds?
Why are the best rappers from Brooklyn not recognized for their talent?

And fine nice, surrounded by hard flow like Icelands
I am a talented rapper and my music is well-regarded by others.

Now we getting icing, finances nice
I am starting to make good money and have financial security.

And I don't like surprises, I like superb prices rising
I prefer predictable success and steady increases in my financial situation.

It's the least I could do, these verses priceless
I am giving my all in my music because it means everything to me.

Rehearse in private, reverse her eyelid until she curse in silent (insolent)
I am working on my craft in private and creating music that makes people feel a certain way.

Got a problem solve it, all my Pros solids
I am resourceful and can solve problems without relying on others.

We all gon' dine and until then we mobbing
We are a team and will support each other until we all achieve success.

So don't push me, Uh, I'm close to the pussy, even
Don't test me or make me angry, I'm not afraid to defend myself.

Closer to the know-ledge dropped out of college
I am gaining valuable knowledge and experience outside of traditional education.

In advance hit the ground running like its ants in my pants
I am always prepared and ready to take on any opportunity.

Honey, pop was a bumbaclot and had a queen bee Mommy
My father was a deadbeat dad and my mother was the head of my household.

Uh, I love her to the tissue, disrespect my blood and it's an issue
I have a deep love and respect for my family and will not tolerate any disrespect towards them.

She like 'This you on the cover for real? Ah you so official.'
My mother is proud of my success and supports me.

Now go ahead and buy you some shoes that really fit you
Celebrate your success by buying yourself something nice.

I know she always think of little me, but now I got big literally
My mother always thinks of me as her little boy, but I have grown up and achieved success.

Worldwide and physically
My success has surpassed physical boundaries and reached a global audience.

I'm saying I used to take walks around Little Italy
I used to live in a small neighborhood and now my success has taken me far from there.

Now I roam 'round Sicily
I am now living a lavish lifestyle and traveling to amazing places.

And I'm plotting on a mili
I am still working hard and trying to achieve even more success.

Hmmm another loud pack another proud cat
Another successful rapper and another round of good weed.

Hey pound that, Hip-Hop sounds been profound back
Let's enjoy our success and recognize the deep impact hip-hop has had on our culture.

Slow down that, metronome nigga
Be patient and take your time, don't rush success.

Let it hit home when the specimen showin' gon' glitter
Be sure to appreciate and recognize our individual talents and successes.

Gold and ices trigger, your true ideology
Our wealth and success can change our beliefs and values.

I can subtract one with the gun that's true trigonometry
I have the skills and tools to take out my competition if necessary.

But that won't coincide with the true nigga that I'm a be
I won't compromise my integrity and values for success.

He's royal poverty I kicks philosophies
I come from a place of poverty and use my experiences to create insightful music.

Not because I rock Soccer tees
My success is not because of my fashion sense or style.

I ain't gon' beg but I can please
I won't beg for success, but I can create music that people enjoy.

Rock ya socks and sockets out your knees
My music can make you dance and move your body.

Fulfill your needs with similes non similar
I create music that is unique and unlike anything you've heard before.

Spit that unfamiliar, put that on familia
My music is distinctive and original and I am proud of it.

If ya love Hip Hop, ladies rub your papillas
If you love hip-hop, dance and enjoy yourself.

Fellas beat they chest like they Silverback Gorillas
Men feel a sense of pride and accomplishment when they hear good hip-hop music.

It's the new age, children of the crystal healers
We are the new generation of artists and musicians.

Thinking I butterfly i try catapult caterpillars
I am transforming and evolving from a small caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly.

After years of constructing they start assumptions
Many people assume things about me without knowing the real story.

So I keep my circumference of deep fried friends like dumplings
I surround myself with close friends who know who I am and support me.

But fuck that nigga we munching, we hungry
I don't care about others who try to bring me down, I'm focused on my own success.

Swanking
Exuding a sense of coolness and success.

I see you Jigga
I recognize Jay-Z's influence on the industry.

Hilary Swanking
A reference to actress Hilary Swank, but also a play on the word 'wanking' to mock the idea of excessive self-pleasure.
