Monday
Mike T Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Be a beast with the piece sees motivation
Eatin cereal, Honey Nut Cheerio
Music out the stereo leave civilization
And that's how I feel
Fake ass nigga said I ain't real
One time for my friends who behind me still
I wish I could make time stand still
It all depends on how the cards fall
Confidence my conscious calls on god
Lost ya sense revolves it all causes consequence
You know the stars are small
Don't make me say it again
Can't deny any scars they engraved in ya skin
So let me vibe wit these bars wit a page and a pen
I know it's hard to refrain from sin
This shit may never end
Everyday I wake up
I thank god for a new day
Cuz everyday isn't promised
I made it just in time minute early for work
Outside don't see the sign but you see it on my shirt
Wanna be a boss take a loss and expect it
Strengthen up when you floss you gotta respect it
Headphones my gemstones
Girl get me out the friend zone in the end zone
So I can score a touch down
Like a basketball Imma bounce you all around
I got plenty of players who wanna play the position
Do me no favors you know I hate contradiction
Call me a killer because I murder my raps
Every song is a thriller I should perform wit a axe
Im tryna get the currency comin like atm machines
Not wakin up, and escaping dreams
That'll take some luck, and evading schemes
Not giving up, for now at least what it seems
Prepared to pick your pocket Tick-tock when you finna watch it
Of course you gon hear the gossip
Feelin dignified electrified like a socket
Got four or five guys wit they wives in the tropics
Hit the blunt and let it burn
Gotta do my job, I can't rob, live and learn
Doin what I want never worried bout your concern
I'm plottin on your return ain't no stoppin I just gotta earn
Cant stop now, I gotta stay focused
Keep moving forward, don't quit, don't give up
Keep pushin, keep goin, lets go
Makin music you prolly think mediocre
Doin stupid shit can't decide if I need to grow up
Cards goin out from the dealer to my hand
Pop like rubber band why do I miss poker
Sittin back tryna get these stacks
Gimme the checks send me the text sayin sign the x
My mind sayin be sober
Gettin drunk kill my high see me leanin over
Puking into the toilet
Stomach really rotten but I'm not gonna spoil it
Got tons of fun, here hun, come have some
She said, your the one whose young and handsome
I said, I'm older than I look
But don't underestimate the cover of the book
One look was all it took we hold hands hooked
I'm shook misunderstand I'm notcha man rook
Time doesn't slow down
So why should I
Im ready and aware Im ready for self-care
Im ready to help here whoever is out there
If ya down in ya lounge chair uptown or downstairs
Off ground, around air, I'm bound to found ya
Never was accident motive was a purpose
Every song was on the surface
Every phone ain't have no service
Never showed me any service
Every bone was shakin nervous
I know somewhere on the earth is someone sayin I deserve this
Keep in contact keep ya eye on that
Knowing that don't fuck up the contract
Dimes in my head nickels always are the option
Surprised by the head she always love it when Im watchin
She see me sexually so much pleasure she put in me
It's like heaven in front of me
Recharged it again extend the energy
She workin hard in the end the zen is heavenly
Still far away I feel
Goin nowhere fast gotta grasp on the wheel
Coolin never crash get the cash and the skill
People always gon talk that trash throw em out to chill
