Darkness of the Night
Look, yeah
I won the lottery of life
I never thought I'd get this high (Nope)
They want the spotlight
Me, I'm thriving in the darkness of the night (Thriving)
Cooking up the most whenever no one's looking
Away, I've been gone, I'm out of sight (Gone)
Adjusting to my new way of life
Came a long way from barely getting by
So many obstacles daily
It's hard to look back at the progress I'm making (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
When I started out, they all thought I was crazy
I'm feeling like I won the lottery lately
I know I'm the greatest, ain't sorry to say it
And all of them watching, they're rotten and hating (Rot)
But you can't dispute what I've done in this game when you're seeing my beats getting onto a playlist with three million listeners (Whoo)
Yeah, I don't let fake people in my perimeter (Nah)
I know they talk about me when I'm not around
I don't play that shit, not even a little bit (No way)
Cross me, I'll often get awfully sinister
You can't get a read on me
Just when you thought you knew 'bout me, the plot getting twisted up
Think what you want, I do not really give a fuck (No)
The pressure is heavy (Heavy)
This shit getting messy (Messy)
I keep it on ten like I'm Messi (Yeah, yeah, yeah, Messi)
I'm killing shit like I was Freddy (Yeah, yeah, yeah, Freddy)
I cannot spend any time around you if you're holding me back like a levee (No way)
I cut through the bullshit, machete
You know I've been ready already, yeah (Ready)
Man, so many people I've met that ain't solid
They're telling you one thing but doing another (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I guess it's the norm nowadays to be acting the part but not actually being it (Fake)
Damn, it's a shame, the direction we're going
When people are trying to flex on the surface (Go, go)
But really they're broke and want everything now 'cause the gratification immediate (What the fuck?)
I'm a firm believer in a slow build (Yeah)
Nothing great happens overnight
Can't get to the top if there's no hill (No way)
I need me a doctor, I'm so ill
I say it direct, I get straight to the point, to the end of my time, I'ma go till (Go)
I'm doing this shit till I gross mils
They're paying me just like a phone bill (Paying up)
Working so hard every day, I've been stacking new money and counting my old bills
A legend forever, I'm goated
They know all my shit 'cause I wrote hits (Hits)
Since They Know was rapping on Smoke It
Remember when I used to roll spliffs
And burn 'em all down in my old whip now (Burn it down, whoa)
(Burn 'em all down in my old whip)
(Jack is producing bangers)
(Yeah)
(Burn 'em all)
(Burn 'em)
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
They've been talking that shit (What?)
But it's never gonna bother me (Nope)
They ain't got no brain (Brain, brain)
I ain't talking 'bout lobotomy (No)
I'm tuning out if you're spilling tea
'Cause I never gave a fuck about the gossiping (Nuh uh)
Whole world, everybody arguing
You gotta be careful how time is spent
Before you know it, you're buried and gone and this life that you had, it done came and went (Gone)
In the blink of an eye, you get sent to heaven
But me, I've been heaven-sent
I don't give a fuck no more (No)
Not relying on my luck no more (No)
They say that life is a game of chess
But I'm jumping over you, playing checkers (Jumping way over you)
I'm building something I'm proud of, a legacy so legendary that they'll remember (A legacy so legendary)
I'm leaving something they ain't forgetting
Hard work beats talent with daily effort (Yeah)
Me, I got both of 'em, put in the work, and I got through the storm and the rainy weather (I put in the work)
Money was never a problem for me lately, I got enough I can save and spend it (Uh huh)
Oh, he going off again (Off)
Going stupid, so pardon me (Rah)
Now I'm rocking that Louis and Dior, I used to be shopping at Dollar Tree
I'm invested, I'm all for it
I used to be smoking that tall forest (Whoo)
But now I got way too much shit on my mind, I've already been up working all morning (Work)
'Cause I gotta get ahead
They wouldn't care if I'm left for dead
Proficient at this shit, I've been adept
You used to hate, I can recollect (Uh huh)
This an expression of my inner conscience, I don't only do this to get a check
They say go to hell, but I'm heaven-sent
And I've already been through it, better yet (Yup)
Cooking up like a mad scientist, I'm making that heat in my living room (Cook, cook, cook)
I done worked so damn hard, now I finally got me some wiggle room (Yeah)
But I will not take a breather
'Cause it's crunch time and I'm under the gun
I'll do this shit till I'm a hundred and one
And get me every dollar under the sun, bitch
(Time and I'm under the gun)
(I'll do this shit till I'm a hun-)
I won the lottery of life
I never thought I'd get this high (Nope)
They want the spotlight
Me, I'm thriving in the darkness of the night (Thriving)
Cooking up the most whenever no one's looking
Away, I've been gone, I'm out of sight (Gone)
