Side B
NICKELUS F & SHAWN KEMP Lyrics

Tell my niggas grind, go hard get money
Encouraging friends to work hard and earn money

We gon be out in the rain till it get sunny
Pushing through tough times until things get better

Momma never told me there′d be days like this
Realizing life can be hard and unpredictable

Woke up 2 hours late... But at least I woke up
Acknowledging a mistake but finding the positive

Pull up 2 hours late... At least I showed up
Acknowledging a mistake but still making the effort to be present

Ya ain't got no smoke here, least y′all can po' up
No negativity allowed, but friends can still have a drink

Something like a foot in the air, I'm all toe up
Feeling disoriented or out of place

Momma always told me one day I′ll be on my only
Encouraging self-reliance and independence

Gettin′ down for my lonely, I get down if niggas owe me
Being motivated to succeed on one's own and collect money owed

I′m engaged with my hustle I married the cash that′s on me
Strongly committed to making money through hard work

But we divorced every time I go shopping, fuck matrimony shit
Spending money too easily and losing the commitment to earning it

Tires flat but I'm still rolling, they fired my ass
Facing adversity and job loss, but still moving forward

But I′m still in motion, my boat: it floats the ocean
Continuing to progress and grow despite challenges

My sail is still catching wind, progression until I end
Making progress and advancing until the end of life

Till I drink too much, pass out and never wake up again.
Humorous realization of the inevitability of death

So many people done doubted, I know your vision is clouded.
Acknowledging skepticism and doubt from others

I can see this big mountain, I'll figure my way around it bitch.
Determined to overcome obstacles and reach success

I can hear the whispers you niggas might as well shout it.
Aware of gossip and criticism from others

Watch me make it on they ass
Defiantly working hard and succeeding despite doubters

Imma stack this money to the sky-y
Commitment to earning and saving large amounts of money

I used to sit in silence, in fear of saying something stupid
Overcoming self-doubt and insecurity to pursue goals

Now I spit the science, I put "get rich" on my to-do list
Confidently sharing knowledge and actively working towards wealth

Trying to get it all and use rap as a conduit
Using music to earn money and achieve success

Hustle the whole world just watch how the con do it
Working hard and tricking the system to make money

Can't wait to tell my homies we on, let's get to it
Excited to share success with friends and continue working hard

Spend less time watching porns and gettin zooted
Minimizing distractions and vices to focus on earning money

Construct these rhymes in my construct, stumbling booted
Creating lyrics within one's own style and process

I′m a demon on the beat you can′t rebuke it
Proud of one's rapping abilities and undeterred by criticism

Get a crucifix
Jokingly suggesting supernatural protection

Do as thou wilt, living how we choose it
Embracing personal freedom and autonomy

We don't drink alcohol at all, we abuse it
Acknowledging excessive use of alcohol

We don′t keep that paper in the dutch, we remove it
Not wasting money by using it as rolling paper for marijuana

Takin flight in real life my dreams are now lucid
Experiencing success in reality just like in vivid dreams

I control it all, I fell back they weren't feeling that
Taking control of one's own success, despite lack of support

You would think I′m of rock the way they want their nickel back
Feeling like people only care about getting paid

Most of the people sleeping, you see it and I figured that
Observing many people who aren't working hard or striving for success

Eat a bowl of pause, pull my zipper back
Using humor to end the song in a playful manner
