August 28th - Caleborate

-Clears throat-

Uh uh uh uh uh

Sitting on the couch imagining it’s a plane

Ready for my life to change I ain’t saying it’s a game

Swear to god

My nigga’s on my side and the pressure of knowing whether or not they gon

survive is insane

In my brain, life like running on the millions

Sallie Mae keep calling like I want to know her feelings

Thinking back to the times I was 17

Writing in my room couldn’t wait to be a king coming soon

In the booth like my tomb reincarnated let the beat come alive tell Ben to let

it ride

Like my bike on the side of the road when they pass me

Metaphor for life I ain’t as fast but I can be

Just gotta go hard and let my flow be the water to the dirt that they throw up

on my name that I’m going to grow from that bullshit

23 and ain’t finished school yet

Watched all my peers pass me up cause I do this

But never will I settle in and quit giving this medicine

I owe it to my pops he made me to be a better him

Put in so much work I’m like a certified veteran

Name another nigga my age I ain’t better than

But still gotta preach to my mom each year like

Don’t worry I’ll be on I’m coming up around here

I got a song with G-Eazy off the strength I didn’t pay for it

No one tapped me in I worked hard every day for it

Back when I was staying with Kim then had to move out

And Daddy had to call the county jail sell his new house

I would of given everything and even sold my soul for a little bit of fame and

somewhere to call home

Instead of waking up at 4AM and catching the bus

And nigga’s got the nerve to say I made it off of some luck

Nigga please

I was working double-overtime up at Levi’s

Then go to school and catch the bus 3 times

Eating Micky-D's, Daily Double with my free time

Monopoly be the only game I play for the free fries

Wonder what it’s gonna take for nigga’s here to realize

Just cause i ain’t grow up with you don’t mean you need to despise

My every move

Know you want your homie on that pedestal

But he is not me and quite frankly I am very cool

Told Nick I’m finished with the album

But I’m still writing records, I got something on my chest I need to say to you

Sometime I see my life and it hurt

So many friends I could of had instead of doing this work

So many women I could of dated and made it for real

Kissing in the kitchen and cuddling instead of chasing this meal

I guess I put it on myself to bring my whole family wealth

But I’m driven and I know that God is taking the wheel

Nick the only reason that I haven’t taken a deal

He said I’m worth 10 times what ever offer they spill

And I ain’t even going to trip, I know you hating it still

The bald head, kid keeping it real

And everybody seem to love him, they can’t put no one above him even though he

not auto-tuned and banging a

It’s cause I’m from a generation where they made us with skill

And I can speak my fucking mind without taking a pill

So the next time you look my way with ice in your grill

Just know I keep shining on you niggas, fuck how you feel

I came a long fucking way when I moved to the Bay

One bag, no money and a couch where I lay

No hoes, no friends, no inside track

I gave respect to everybody so I need that shit back

I just want to live my life and be the best I can be

Don’t know why it seem like it so hard for ya’ll to see

I got one question in my head it don’t flee like «Why G nigga, why ya’ll

nigga’s always hating on me»
