Текст песни Crib In The Sky - AVGUST

Listen to this
Cuz when I was younger it didn't exist
Rapping on the bus for middle school trips
Bitches in the back would snicker and grin
Had to get up from that kick in the ribs
The bigger the risk, the thicker the skin
If you belittled me then and said I ain't the man
I embrace it like bitch I'm the kid
Ken Griffey, I deliver the hits
Now they all saying I did it again
I'm not a force to be reckoning with
Spinning their heads, centrifugal shit
How's he do it? Where's he been at
Zip it, I ask the questions like trivia quiz
Why aren't the dividends trickling in
How don't they see I'm administrative
Running the show on my own cuz I know how manipulative the industry is
Nobody does any critical thinking
They want that Icarus ignorant bliss
I want the sun but I'm building a bridge to it
Anyone else would just give me the wings

Living a lie
Just to switch up the vibe
Cop a crib in the sky to get out of this world in the blink of an eye
Let me kiss it goodbye
Living a lie
Just to switch up the vibe
Cop a crib in the sky to get out of this world in the blink of an eye
Let me kiss it goodbye
Let me kiss it goodbye

This a critical time in my life
I should be realistic
Keep on spitting the rhymes, it's fine
Cuz it's easy to switch it
Get a nice little 9 to 5
When you need it then ditch this
That doesn't feed my ambitions
That's not the key to persistence
That's not the dream I envisioned
Picking up a pen in 2010 and hoping crowds full of people would scream what I've written
I was naive when I wished it
Now I can see something different
Reaching an audience desperately needing uplifting
Who feeling relief when they listen
Know that I haven't always had confidence in
Any of the things I've brought attention
Used to think I couldn't make music and I'd only ever have a hobby with it
Used to think a girl could never like me and it still lingers on my body image
Used to stay at my dad's more cuz my mom's crib was just not as big and
My sister's father had a drug addiction but I didn't know it so I'm always missing
Only grew up with me half the time, I lay awake and wish that I could fix it
Gotta get it for months I missed with 'em
Get 'em houses cuz I wanna live with 'em
Situation is a little better now but nothing's promised so I gotta finish it
Got to college but it's not the pinnacle
Locked a job in but the savings minimal
I know money isn't everything but they'll get anything when my deposits triple though
Say it again and again, cuz I'll never regret it
Cannot control where I've been so I better control where I'm headed
Let's get it

Living a lie
Just to switch up the vibe
Cop a crib in the sky to get out of this world in the blink of an eye
Let me kiss it goodbye
Living a lie
Just to switch up the vibe
Cop a crib in the sky to get out of this world in the blink of an eye
Let me kiss it goodbye
Let me kiss it goodbye
