Текст песни Everything I Am VIII - Tarik

Money wasn't coming fast enough and we was backed up
Trying to get ahead but way too busy playing catch up
Stressing at the 9 to 5 was trying not to act up
Looking at the after tax amount like this don't add up
We was tryna think and grow rich, we read the chapters
Putting it to practice
But somehow moving backwards
Album on the way, I know this one gon'
Reach the masses
All I gotta do forreal's eliminate distractions
Promise 4AMs the time I'll get up off this mattress
Gotta free myself from all these habits and attachments
Gotta build a catalog that present in my absence
I'm never really absent, I'm mostly always tapped in
Just cause I ain't post for them to see, don't mean I'm lacking
You would think they major league, the way that they be capping
You would think I'm Hollywood, the way I'm bout this action
You would think I drew this up, the way I made it happen

I was bout to let it breathe but nah I'm going back in
14 years later how I still ain't lose the passion
Got enough drive to pay the price when it gets taxin
Somehow I got better, I ain't talking in the past tense
Somehow I keep winning, so it's clear what I'm attracting
Added to myself, this version ain't come with the package
I had to drop the baggage
To get this right of passage
Unfulfilled potential is an easy path to sadness
That is not a caption for a post, it really happened
This is not song to sing along, I'm really rapping
Tappin into source, so that's the energy I'm matching
Money come up front, but even more come on the back end
Used to be out laughed but I have yet to be out lasted
Said it was a stretch but I'm incredibly elastic
Got here off the minimum, let's take it to the max then

Got here off the minimum, let's take it to the max then
It's everything I am, the 8th time I made a classic
First the storm comes, and then I grow, and then it passes
If I can't see a blessing in disguise, it's counteractive
If I stop improving who I am, it all collapses
Money coming faster now, remember we was backed up
All I had to do forreal eliminate distractions
Somehow I keep winning, so it's clear what I'm attracting
Everything I Am, now all 8 of these are classics
