lirik lagu j j l, cousin rickie & aklesso - don't u know?
[verse 1: j j l]
whoa
okay, smile for the camera
blow my candles, make a wish
27 club was a party that i barely missed
my résumé didn’t qualify to make the list
my parting gift was almost stanley uris all up on my wrist
time is currency, i had to spend my penny wise
walked with urgency, thoughts i had to penalize
picked up the pace, started dashing like i’m noah lyles
i had to close the door and throw the key like i’m coraline
borderline just a bit obsessed with this craft
my standard for myself is sky high, in fact
i got platinum~worthy verses that might never leave my drafts
i’m shooting for the diamond ones, need so many plaques
i could cut my t~~th with ’em, that’s light work
big shoes, can i really fit ’em? that’s light work
be better than the rest is? that’s light work
show the world who the best is? that’s light work
rather do it solo than to have the wrong one on my bed frame
one dime piece is a benji’s worth of headaches
one night stands nowadays is a dead game
when the party’s over i can feel it when i’m left shame
i’m the only one i can blame if i stay stagnant
or let god help with change
can only control so much of my day
for the rest of the story gotta wait to explain
[chorus: aklesso]
i’ve been grindin’ and grindin’, it don’t stop
now i’m shining and shining, i’m on top
i feel defiant, a lion, i’m like pac
and no lie, they fiend for my spot
was taught:
work hard, but pray harder
praise god when i’m down to my last dollar
yeah
i’m just stacking my chips till they see me as the—
as the greatest
[verse 2: cousin rickie]
i set these lofty expectations for myself
if i fail, the punishment a chancla or a belt
same way my momma had done put me through h~ll
nah, i’m kidding
but imagine if i didn’t get the disciplining
guess we’ll never know if the laced drugs had me trippin’
if the needles of my pain required me some penicillin
if i was gone, would the world know what it’s missing?
or will the wind blow like how we do with all our kissing?
never went to school for a master’s
but i’ve mastered my craft
i’ve shown you the stories of my agony and past
the way i make you cry or the way i make you laugh
i guess i’m a stand~up guy for that
seen a couple friends turn themselves into fools
gold that they seen had ’em breaking all the rules
try to fix the kink in the armor but missing tools
baptism got us scared of even jumping into pools
wishing well for those that go wish in wells
your story—it’s hard to tell
i know the world is cruel
and if you ever tell it to the people, gon’ listen
don’t ever fail to mention that this story is the reason
you’re put in this position to heal others with lesions
similar to yours so we all get through the seasons
it’s hard enough to pick up all pieces by yourself
ain’t this what we rap for?
we supposed to share up all the wealth
[chorus: aklesso]
i’ve been grindin’ and grindin’, it don’t stop
now i’m shining and shining, i’m on top
i feel defiant, a lion, i’m like pac
and no lie, they fiend for my spot
was taught:
work hard, but pray harder
praise god when i’m down to my last dollar
yeah
i’m just stacking my chips till they see me as the—
as the greatest
