(Verse 1)
Last year around this time we was waking up in the apartment
Convos about condos…with our blunts rolled
And we knew that we would make it, spoke it like a language
20 bills, no record deal, and this s**t already famous
I had to get up and get it, ain’t took a break in a minute
Too busy making a profit, bi**hes ain’t even a topic
Can’t count how many times they overlooked me
If only they knew what it took me
(Chorus)
Long days, long nights, 30 days, 30 flights, count it up
Long days, long nights, 30 days, 30 flights, count it up
(Verse 2)
I remember when…me, couldn’t see me on the list
Now I go to any city club…anything
Spent a lot up on a rollie
It’s feeling like my time, it’s feeling like my time
Hate on your life when it’s good
Money been going around, ain’t no more holding me down
No, no, no, nooo
(Repeat Chorus)
(Verse 3)
I had to get up and get it, ain’t took a break in a minute
Too busy making a profit, bi**hes ain’t even a topic
So please don’t act like you know me
If only you knew what it took me
You can never understand
Till you walked in my shoes you won’t never understand
You know
(Verse 4)
Long talks on my flight home and I’m thinking how can I make it back?
Harlems all on my shoulders now and my ni**as saying I’m too relaxed
Mama tripping, my daddy vision been going blind and I’m so behind
I just met up with another ni**a cause another woman ran off with mine
Still going through a lot, still tryna get it right
Still thinking for whatever reason how did I get set up with this life?
Tell the bookie how we looking? Couple commas, that’s a go
Dedication, being patient, something they could never know
I’m not even doing it for the credit
I’m doing it for the family now
You gotta eat
R&B to the motherf**king streets
Go, I’m wid it
(Repeat Chorus)
