8 Milly

Live from a local office
The hopeful artist
Gets no rest at night
He grinds everyday
Clocks in late
And he never gets treated right
He be tossing and turning
With many ideas
But doesn't make an earning
In his career
He's always the last to go
And last to arrive
Even when he tried
Every time he was slow
Dressed in a uniform picking up post
Live on the news
Market cartoons
In an elevator
He watches it real close
A Generational lampoon
He still paid low
9 to 5 at the financial
District
He's making his way to the top floor
With his eyes on a city that is ready to grow
And they always show
This is home

How I define success
Not sure yet
But I grind nonetheless
Spark with intent
And let ash fall
Cement my government in stone like bones and flesh
Til I get back home where they know me best
Make a sale like Chris, retail, and sex Been solid
Now I deserve respect
Get a check like federal reserve
And jet
To the towers
History will never forget
Carcinogen powder
That blocked the sun crest
The crowd been scoured
And chemicals undress
The men in power
Even the scientists
Paying for a school
Taking every word
Buying it
If you need proof
Grab a verse
Then wire it
I take cash app
Apple Pay
Venmo
If you can get past that
The next parts simple

I took a trip on the other side grass wasn't greener
My daily operation is stepping into arenas
I be in the catacombs of stones throw
A showstopper
That witnessed apocalypse now
And yet conquered
Stayed way sharper than the saint
When times got harder
Let's head from our sponsor
Thin skin breaks on the way to the point
No rhyme nor reasoning
Season the joint
Cease and Desist
Cough up the coin
Dismissed
Pass the piss test
Maybe they get you in
But you know like I do it all depends
On how you measure your leverage and the price they spend
On God
Police tryna get me
30000 volts to my back and my kidneys
Saving more than all my love like Whitney
Face full of hatred
I'll give 'em 8 Millie's
