Progress

This that night awake, garden state, that's where I originate
Started from the bottom, so these haters I eliminate
Yeah you know I got 'em, that's why they just don't participate
Cause ever since I started, there ain't no one I can't imitate

Articulated words, if you listen I just illustrate
Manipulate the game, kill the competition rate
Never looking down, I got my head up straight, golden gates
Living like it's heaven with less money than my body weight

I used to think I cared, till I realized that it all was fake
All money does is change the prongs at your face
Life moves on, people die, these are things money can't buy
It's part of evolution, it goes round and round, piece of pie

I keep it cool, cold-blooded like I'm an animal
When it comes to rap, I bring the lead like I'm mechanical
Yeah, this music I'm making, I call it progress
Said he's stacking my francs to buy my success

Stack, stack, stack, put your money in the bank, yo
You never know when you're gonna need it
Stack, stack, stack, put your money in the bank, yo
This life will suck you dry if you don't feed it

Stack, stack, stack, put your money in the bank, yo
You never know when you're gonna need it
Stack, stack, stack, put your money in the bank, yo
This life will suck you dry if you don't feed it, yeah

I'm free in bed by 8, my jobs got me working late
Call it fate, let 'em hate, everyday I'm feeling great
Either way I make my way, working hard but getting paid
It's what I do, it's how I live, eat a good steak and ribs

At the gym, never slim, keep it real, Benjamins
Punch lines, punch mines, leave 'em with a deadly sin
Late night, get it in, call me David Letterman
Piece of cake, enemies, need my daily vitamins

I start like no one's stopping me, switch it up constantly
Like social anthropology, my thoughts enrich mahogany
It's going down, going down like the economy
Get the picture, get the picture like photography

I'm the hot commodity, they wanna see like comedy
This is just an honesty, they study like astronomy
I used to be a wannabe, but now I'm just a prodigy
Stacking up this broccoli and building up my colony

What you doing with your life is a real question
If you ain't doing nothing, you ain't progressing
Find out what you love and make it your profession
It won't feel like it's a job if it's your obsession

What you doing with your life is a real question
If you ain't doing nothing, you ain't progressing
Find out what you love and make it your profession
It won't feel like it's a job if it's your obsession

Stack, stack, stack, put your money in the bank, yo
You never know when you're gonna need it
Stack, stack, stack, put your money in the bank, yo
This life will suck your drive if you don't feed it

Stack, stack, stack, put your money in the bank, yo
You never know when you're gonna need it
Stack, stack, stack, put your money in the bank, yo
This life will suck your drive if you don't feed it, yeah
