Self Made (feat. Justin Starling)
Tell me what you tryna say
Me I got the time today
They asking how we did it how to get it
How we living
I said listen we just found a way
Aye
You don't gotta ask when you self made
We know that it lasts when it's self made
CEO cut the check get yourself paid
They get jealous call you selfish when you self made
Self made cuz I had it well played
Used to be on welfare
Now I'm getting well payed
This ain't a 9-5 it's more like 9-9
I put in the extra work just to make it overtime
Now I'm coming for what's mine
Cuz everything they said I couldn't do I went and did it
There's something that I want then you know I'm a go and get it
Some rappers really ate their whole career on how they bit it
I been here since the beginning they just rapping what I'm living
Real talk my time costs go get your boss
You gotta reach those levels before you get to flaws
You ain't never put your own money up or take a loss
You don't really know what it costs so
Tell me what you tryna say
Me I got the time today
They asking how we did it how to get it
How we living
I said listen we just found a way
Aye
You don't gotta ask when you self made
We know that it lasts when it's self made
CEO cut the check get yourself paid
They get jealous call you selfish when you self made
Aye lotta people watching they be looking like its Tivo
I know that they probably tryna hit me with the RICO
Takeoff in a rocket got me looking like a migo
Got the bands on me I been singing like a Beatle
That was yesterday
Maybe Saturday
Rocking E Saint Laurent like a latter-day
They be asking where he go you say that way
We ain't talking we ain't telling we ain't tattling
Mindset of a boss
You a run Ricky run
Me I'm more Rick Ross
Got my money on the table
They be scared to pay the cost
I'm the one to get it done when it costs
Tell me what you tryna say
Me I got the time today
They asking how we did it how to get it
How we living
I said listen we just found a way
Aye
You don't gotta ask when you self made
We know that it lasts when it's self made
CEO cut the check get yourself paid
They get jealous call you selfish when you self made
Me I got the time today
They asking how we did it how to get it
How we living
I said listen we just found a way
Aye
You don't gotta ask when you self made
We know that it lasts when it's self made
CEO cut the check get yourself paid
They get jealous call you selfish when you self made
Self made cuz I had it well played
Used to be on welfare
