By Now

I've been picking up the pieces trying to find me
But I just can't let you down
I can't let you see
Standing on the edge the light blinding
If you could just picture me now
If you could just let me recede
Placing all the bets I'm having hoping that I couldn't ever wake up
Would I be the man that you could make up
Would I be the man that couldn't say enough
Illest to the problems I've been cashing in my bank and couldn't bank on
I wish that I could take none
I wish that I could fake none
Got no money sitting in my pocket
But I got a bad bitch, I want to lock it down
Making myself a little profit
Cutting ties that always try to weigh me down
Cuz I am me. I'll always be me
And when I'm rich you'll see
But

I thought I would've had it by now
(I thought I would've had it by now)
I thought I would've had it by now
(By now, by now)
(Gimme that cash right now)
I thought I would've had it by now
(I thought I would've had it by now)
I thought I would've had it by now
By now, I thought I would've had it by now

Aight, screw it, he said it already
Bad bitch by my side for sure
No cash in my dresser drawer
But either way we bout to head in tour
Verses on verses that bury these people in person
No I ain't got time it's just worthless
Unless your got paper in pockets, then me and you buddy
Then there is no business in person
I'm just saying. This ain't for the games
Yeah, I'm just saying, this ain't for the lames
Yeah, I'm just saying, this for the real
Yeah, I'm just saying, where's the fucks the deal
Cuz
Even if you tried to offer we wouldn't sign
Cuz you know that we are in the prime
This ain't in my mind, This filet mignon
Everybody's lookin at me Teeny
He's a King, a Don
He's been killing all this pic shit
He's been killing all the video and the microphone quick shit
Everybody knows this kid, here, ya he ain't no gimmick

I thought I would've had it by now
(I thought I would've had it by now)
I thought I would've had it by now
(By now, by now)
(Gimme that cash right now)
I thought I would've had it by now
(I thought I would've had it by now)
I thought I would've had it by now
By now, I thought I would've had it by now
Waited here for my chance to, show everybody what I can do
Make that money for wifey and my fam too
So we can kick it down in Cancun
Ten years I've been chipping at a brick wall
Taking my time and steady, grinding, staying pissed off
Being taken for granted, cause I'm a kind soul
But take it out of myself for being ripped off
I've never been one to assert, or start talking shit less it's someone deserved
Complacent my nature and pure my intentions
I've been keeping tabs in my honorable mentions
Who believed in me, my day one beasts
When I've been making these beats
To take care of my seed, start holding me to a higher degree
I'll make you believe that Ima succeed

I thought I would've had it by now
(I thought I would've had it by now)
I thought I would've had it by now
(By now, by now)
(Gimme that cash right now)
I thought I would've had it by now
(I thought I would've had it by now)
I thought I would've had it by now
By now, I thought I would've had it by now
