Leverage
Kirk Knight Lyrics

I was thinkin', I was like "I wonder if muhfuckas'll remember that"
I was pondering the thought of whether or not people will remember me

Like, not only like "He was great, he was the best rapper alive or he was"
Not just in terms of being considered great or the best rapper alive

Like, I wonder if muhfuckas really remember me
I wonder if people truly remember who I am

For the innovator I am
Recognizing me for the innovator that I embody

And I was thinkin' (Thinkin')
Continuing to contemplate

I was thinkin' how saturated things get these days
Reflecting on how oversaturated things have become in the present times

And, and how easy it is to forget the greatness
And how effortless it is to overlook greatness

The greatness of something or someone
The greatness displayed by something or someone

And, um, today I, I plan to
And today, I intend to

Take 10 minutes or 15 minutes out of your day and my day to, um
Allocate a brief amount of time from both your day and mine to

Elaborate on the subject
Expand upon this topic

I'm the talk around town, shit, you all talk
I'm the topic of conversation in the town, but it's all just talk

Money in the bank got me smilin' like Paul Wall
Having money in the bank brings a smile to my face, reminiscent of Paul Wall's happiness

I don't even see it, I just raw dog
I don't even pay attention to it, I just enjoy it freely

Shit, my side bitch a player, she a ball hog
My mistress is a skilled player who hogs the spotlight

Always on the go, I'm a Rolling Stone
Constantly moving, not tied down to one place, like a Rolling Stone

Steal your bitch, I don't need the swag, just need my cologne
I can attract your partner without relying on superficial qualities, just by my scent

Like this a Rolex, baby, this ain't Michael Kors
This watch is a Rolex, not a cheaper brand like Michael Kors

And you need to suck the dick before I hit exhaust
You must perform oral sex before I reach my limit

If I had a penny every time they ask me what it cost
If I received money every time someone asks about the price

I could buy every island I seen on Lost
I could purchase all the islands seen in the TV show Lost

I could buy myself a whole commercial plane
I could acquire an entire commercial airplane for myself

Fuck it, get a blimp and let it say my name
To hell with it, I'll get a blimp and have it display my name

And I ain't socializing when I talk about this aim
I'm not just casually discussing my goals, I'm serious about them

Re-rollin' all those roaches, was losing my way
Rolling up leftover joint ends again was causing me to lose direction in life

Forgot me so much times, now you remember my name
Having been forgotten numerous times, now you recall my name

Well that's the same, same, same, now you postin' my game?
So is it still the same situation, now that you're showcasing my style?

Me, myself, and I, holy trinity
Referring to myself as a holy trinity of Me, Myself, and I

If I fucked around and died, you'd remember me
If something were to happen to me, you would retain memories of my existence

I got leverage in these streets, I got leverage in me
I hold influence and power within these streets, it's inherent within myself

Serve Perc, twenties, like outta the Honda
Distributing Percocet pills in twenties, as if from a Honda vehicle

Walkin' with Jeffrey, look like Hotel Rwanda
Accompanying someone named Jeffrey, appearing reminiscent of the situation in Hotel Rwanda

Blessed in since a youngin'
Having been favored since a young age

If I alert one the Codys, then they would do it for nothin'
If I inform one of my associates named Cody, they would carry out a task without expecting anything in return

Flirtin' with your BM on my BBMs and news, I'm keepin' 'em
Engaging in romantic advances with your baby mama through BBM messages and news, I'm preserving these interactions

Got so much class, but never finished school, like, "who was teachin' 'em?
I possess great qualities and sophistication, despite never completing school, which makes one question who guided my development

Said "fuck the odds," and every evening, I'm in the streets again
I disregarded the likelihood of success and every evening, I find myself back in the streets

I never banged my homie's souls 'cause I ain't leavin' 'em
I never betrayed the souls of my friends because I won't abandon them

So I speak for them, make that heat for them
Therefore, I speak on their behalf and create music they can relate to

For all my dead beat brothers, 'til they meet again
In honor of all my struggling brothers, until we reunite

So don't ask me about my motives or my reasoning
Therefore, do not inquire about my intentions or the logic behind my actions

See these hustles in my veins, I was born to win
Witness the drive and determination within me, I was destined for success

On my darkest days, bag the pills, had to order in
During my most challenging moments, I resorted to acquiring drugs to cope

Big homies, phones high, can't say co-ordinance
Connected with influential individuals, whose phones are monitored, making it unwise to disclose their location

Even though my momma losin' and I'm goin' in
Despite my mother's struggles, I'm still pushing forward

So I'm born to win
Therefore, I am destined to achieve victory

Me, myself, and I, holy trinity
Referring to myself as a holy trinity of Me, Myself, and I

If I fucked around and died, you'd remember me
If something were to happen to me, you would retain memories of my existence

I got leverage in these streets, I got leverage in me
I hold influence and power within these streets, it's inherent within myself

I got leverage in these streets, I got leverage in me
I hold influence and power within these streets, it's inherent within myself

Me, myself, and I, holy trinity
Referring to myself as a holy trinity of Me, Myself, and I

If I fucked around and died, you'd remember me?
If something were to happen to me, you would retain memories of my existence, right?

I got leverage in these streets, I got leverage in me
I hold influence and power within these streets, it's inherent within myself

I got leverage in these streets, I got leverage in me
I hold influence and power within these streets, it's inherent within myself
