[Verse 1]

This shit really takes a lot of sleepless nights

That 2AM alone is my greatest high

Think that death’s the only way to save my mind

You would be consumed if you lived this life

Clocking in like non-stop

Doing all I can before my time’s up

Don’t look at me like I’m not

The Sherpa that’ll summit more than climb up

Some that I know have no clue about where they’re heading

The ones that do will die before their parents fucking let em

I’m Di Caprio in front Margot Robbie trynna get it

For the sedatives of life and the REST fucking set in

Girls that are taken come at me like they’re single

Playboy but I don’t kiss and tell to keep it simple

Stupid how they say that I’ve thrown my morals out the window

When we’re living in a culture that is all the way sinful

Disliked by a panel of my peers

For being ambitious, gifted and focused and sincere

Cause they don’t understand what was done to get here

My father’s haunted by the past to this year

He wished me 100 years on my birthday

Forgetting we were s’posed to be immortal in the first place

Yeah were s’posed to be immortal in the first place


[Part II]


[Hook]

Putting in more hours than a lawyer would

I swear I don’t even sleep like I know I should

All the demons of this life keep up me up at night

And the divas too but that’s all good

That’s all good

Don’t see me for me baby that’s all good

Jealous of the boy you know that’s all good

Creeping’ with your girl you know that’s all wood

That's all good

That's all good

(You know)


[Verse 2]

It’s been too long since the last time

So I guess I’ll fill you in

I talk more on records than in real life

I don’t let nobody in

Since the last it's safe to say that I'm higher up

Pick a song you know that I've got the Midas touch

Hard work and talent is my kinda luck

Around all these flopping ass lames shit I just Harden up

Been searching for inspiration in different places

Find myself haunted by several female faces

Can't seem to find a match though I tally aces

Hard to not see the green when you're in the matrix

People wonder how I got it like this

I labour over my work like a tradie with bricks

And leave home now and then just to party a bit

But don’t be fooled there’s no balance in this

Fell out with religion but I’m still on my God shit

Bars so hard they make niggas feel nauseous

Broads so bad like ahhh I’m talking gorgeous

I wanna be the king of the richest I’m talking Forbes list

You can’t ignore this

Like you trynna be me know you cannot force this

While You Waited I just worked and made good

I know people that clap and cheer that would've stole if they could

If I wasn’t me shit I would

Learnt that what it takes is just not understood

By hate on your grind people

That wish you the worst evil

I rose above the crowd and doubt a rebirthed eagle

And I’m here killing this shit

And y’all here feeling this shit


[Hook]

Putting in more hours than a lawyer would

I swear I don’t even sleep like I know I should

All the demons of this life keep up me up at night

And the divas too but that’s all good

That’s all good

Rolling up the leaf you know that’s all good

Drinking Alizé you know that’s all good

Clubbing way too late you know that’s all good

That’s all good

Don’t see me for me baby that’s all good

Jealous of the boy you know that’s all good

Creeping’ with your girl you know that’s all wood

That's all good

That's all good
