Going For It
Lil Baby Lyrics

Cook that shit up Quay
Start the music, Quay, we're about to get started.

I come from the cook up, that's all I know
My background is in the drug trade and that's where I grew up.

They thinkin' I ain't gettin' no money 'cause I never show it
People assume I'm broke because I don't flaunt my wealth.

I'm tryna run me up a whole dime and I'm goin' for it
I'm aiming to make a ten million dollars and I'm actively pursuing it.

Fuck I look like takin' chances
I'm not going to risk anything foolish that could hurt my income streams.

Fuck this money, go and blow it
I don't care about spending my money frivolously, I can always make more.

I'm tryna run it back up, I gotta put mine up
I'm trying to build my fortune back up again and invest my own money to get there.

Puttin' up the money for lil Jason 'cause he growin' up
I'm investing in the future of my family by setting aside money for my child's needs.

I do four shows every week, man I'm blowin' up
I'm becoming more and more successful as my career takes off, performing four times a week.

Last month I got seven, this month I want ten, I'm goin' up
I made seven million dollars last month and I'm pushing for even more success by earning ten million dollars this month.

They tryna stop my shine, but they can't stop my shine
There are people who are trying to bring me down, but I'm unstoppable and will not be deterred.

I just bought a brand new Rolex
I recently purchased a new, expensive Rolex watch.

I'm a million dollar nigga, no flex
I'm a millionaire and don't need to brag about it.

Stretch these pounds, change my name to Boflex
I'm making a lot of money selling drugs and could change my name to Boflex, a brand of muscle-building equipment, to reflect my newfound wealth and strength.

Hit your baby mama, now your ho next
I'm sleeping with women who are in relationships, even if they have children.

I want a rose gold on the Patek
I want a rose gold watch from the brand Patek Philippe, known for their luxury timepieces.

I'm doing numbers, call it mathematics
I'm generating large amounts of revenue and it's like doing math equations to calculate it.

I had a half a ticket in the attic
I stored half a million dollars in the attic of a building.

It ain't gon' never stop, I'm everlasting
I'm going to keep being successful and wealthy, it's never going to stop.

They know how I come, they know how I come
People are familiar with how I do things and what I'm capable of.

They know how I come before I get there
People know what to expect from me even before I arrive.

Cross 'em over, Raf Simmons footwear
I'm doing well financially and can afford expensive Raf Simmons shoes to wear while showing off my basketball moves.

Balenciaga runners, these my fifth pair
I own five pairs of expensive Balenciaga sneakers that I wear frequently.

Ten figure nigga, I'ma get there
My goal is to become a billionaire and I'm actively working towards that goal.

Traphouse bunkin', we don't live here
I have a trap house where I run my drug operations but I don't live there.

Could've been gone but I'm still here
I've been through tough times but I'm still standing and successful.

Pints of Activis, they the real deal
I consume a lot of Actavis cough syrup and consider it to be the genuine and high-quality product.

Used to have to rob and I still will
I used to resort to robbery to make money and may still do so if necessary.

I'm on parole, still got a passport
Even though I'm currently on parole, I still have a valid passport and plan to travel internationally.

I'm goin' straight net, fuck the backboard
I'm going straight for the goal, netting a lot of money, and not messing around with the backboard (unnecessary steps).

I remember when I used to ask for it
I used to be in need of financial help and had to ask for it.

I don't think back, I just press fast forward
I don't dwell on the past, I focus on moving forward and making progress.

I want happiness, I spend my last for it
I will spend all my money to achieve happiness, which is my ultimate goal.

Two twenty-five read on the dashboard
The speedometer on my car reads 225 miles per hour.

Cost a quarter mil and I paid cash for it
I paid $250,000 in cash to buy my car.

Poppin' Percs, ain't thinkin' 'bout last
I'm taking Percocet painkillers for recreational use and not worrying about the consequences or future issues.

I'm never pissin' dirty, fuck my PO
I'm careful not to fail any drug tests authorized by my probation officer and don't care about their opinion on it.

Lost it all, got me fucked on my re-up
I lost all my money/assets and it has negatively impacted my ability to earn money selling drugs (re-up).

Bitches talkin' down but fuck it 'cause we up
Women may speak negatively about me, but it doesn't bother me because I'm still successful and wealthy.

Shit crazy I got booed in Korea
I had a negative experience being booed while performing in Korea.

Never thought that rappin' would be my career
I never expected to have a career rapping, but it's turned out to be very lucrative for me.

I'm a trap star and that's what it is
I'm a successful drug dealer and that's what I'm known for.

A couple million five, I ain't signing no deal
I've earned several million dollars but I'm not going to sign a record deal as an artist.

Nigga out of line, we gon' spray, you get killed
If someone crosses me or my business, they could be killed.

Draco with the drum, hop out and go dumb
I carry a Draco gun and will fire it if necessary while being reckless.

I come from the slum, two fingers and a thumb
I grew up in poverty and only have two fingers and a thumb to count my money.

Nigga know I chunk it up, rep your set and throw it up
People know that I'm loyal to my gang (set) and will throw up their signs (chunk it up) to represent them.

Nigga try to take my chain we gon' shoot up the whole club
If someone tries to rob me of my jewelry, I will respond with a violent attack that endangers everyone in the vicinity (shooting up the club).
