[Verse 1: Heis]
Yeah, uh
I know you hear me knocking
Just come to vent my problems
Airing out these cheap sheets
Side-kicking myself like Robin
Guess this bud is my only vice
So I roll the dice
Still ain't nothin’ nice
I see the streets
I see the struggles
But I'm on a different type of Potter
I'm not like these muggles
Wizardry on another level
Can't settle for this life of crime
One bad decision costs you a dime
Or your whole life time
Watch it flash 'fore your eyes like you watching LifeTime
Don't fall for the lies
Just a ticking time bomb
But Ima shine ‘til I'm gone
Like the sun in the morn'
And we on
Cuz I'm
[Chorus]
Not on top ‘til I get it
Determination and spirit
Know that forever and ever
They want you slaves to these digits
Money the motivation
But that's not why I'm living
I'm tryna make a difference
So even when it's bad
I'm good
Yeah I'm good
Yeah I’m good
And we gonna make it straight up out the hood
Yeah I'm good (yeah I’m good)
Know I'm good (know I’m good)
Young black man
I'm just misunderstood
Long as you feel me I'm
[Verse 2]
Top one percent running the country right now and
99 Percent can’t get it right now and
We’re supposed to believe they got our best interest
Meanwhile them student loans like 12 percent interest
Interesting ain’t it
College degree, but you resting in your car to pay it
I use these beats to create a picture
And these bars to paint it
See it vividly
Like virtual reality
Just want my momma proud of me
So I’m
[Chorus]
Not on top ‘til I get it
Determination and spirit
Know that forever and ever
They want you slaves to these digits
Money the motivation
But that's not why I'm living
I'm tryna make a difference
So even when it's bad
I'm good
Yeah I'm good
Yeah I’m good
And we gonna make it straight up out the hood
Know I'm good (know I’m good)
Yeah I'm good (yeah I’m good)
Young black man
I'm just misunderstood
Long as you feel me I'm
[Bridge]
(Times is hard out here)
When times is hard
You keep pushing
When money low
Just keep pushing (it get hard out here)
Don’t let it tear your smile away
Keep pushing
Haters want you down, man
That’s why they always looking
(Times is hard out here)
When times is hard
You keep pushing
When money low
Just keep pushing (It get hard out here)
Don’t let it tear your smile away
Keep pushing
Haters want you down, man
That’s why they always looking
[Verse 3]
That minimum wage
Not feeling my pay
Turning the page
Another day
We living just to work
Or working just to live?
Working all day and night
Ain’t got much time to live
Even less bread to give
Bills in your face like a bully
And it’s cold out here
I grab my skully
Gotta be more to life than working ‘til we die
So tell me what’s the deally
I need this and I need that
So I’m tryna Meek a Milly
But if God on my side
What can kill me?
With that type of faith
I can’t die, see?
I’m looking at these obstacles
Like, “Nigga try me!”
Don’t know how strong you are
‘Til that’s your only option
Can’t feed into the negative
That’s extra toxins
Go the other way
Like you hear them guns poppin’
Off into the distance
Naw man, I’m never stoppin’
Through the pain and struggle
Gotta keep your guard up
Ready to rumble
When you get it on your own
And you gotta make a way
And you gotta make it home
Sometimes you feeling real low
Sometimes you think you all alone
That’s when you look at your reflection
See yourself like you made of chrome
And dig deep down
Like you excavating Rome
I might be young
But I’m wise beyond my years
Yeah, I’m feeling for my people, man
I always see the tears
Not a super hero
This mic the only cape I wear
Train of thought, my super power
Strong mind, worth more than 8 bucks an hour
But soon Ima reach my full potential
Sitting at the table with the best minds
Yeah, I got my own utensils
Just pass me a plate
Ima be great
Everything that I could
So even when it’s bad
I’m good
Yeah I’m good
Uh
I’m good
I’m good
I’m good
I’m good! uh
