Lyrics

Uh, uh, yeah, uh
We 'bout to take you for a ride
Yeah, we gonna take you for a ride
Ride, ride
I'm 'bout to take you on a ride
Of a struggling artist
It ain't no easy life
You gotta hustle the hardest, oh
And yes, time is fast
And yes, time is cash
Your shine will pass you by
You gotta keep your eyes open
Uh, yeah, check it, uh
Yo, let me tell you my mission
I'm here to inspire
To bring together this earth, wind, and fire
I'm that dude that her friends admire
Use this Libra air and go fill your tires
And roll them bitches 'til the wheels collapse
Everybody make noise if you feel my raps
Feel my daps, pass the pot lock 'til it don't stop
Breathe in, breathe out, bullshit ease out
The dent that told me I would make it this industry
But I ain't seen a cent, have you seen my rent?
This is where it gets interesting
'Cause the writer starts to vent
I go to middle C and something told me to play this melody
Something heavenly
And told me to forever be a leader with a purpose
So I wrote this and in the back of my mind, I note this
When I shine my light, everybody gonna notice
I'm 'bout to take you on a ride
Of a struggling artist
It ain't no easy life
You gotta hustle the hardest, oh
And yes, time is fast
And yes, time is cash
Your shine will pass you by
You gotta keep your eyes open
Oh, yeah
This is music for your grind
While you doing your craft
While you tryna get better
Tryna be the best
Tryna finish the task
Tryna pass the test
This is for the stress, the bullshit in your life
When you tryna reach success
The world is a mess
I'm not tripping, I'm just living
Claiming my prize, I see with my eyes
I've seen the sunrise, I read all the signs
You live and you learn
You give and you earn
And if you a pothead like me
You twist it and burn it and blaze it
And watch the smoke, huh
And then you take another toke
No joke with the notebook
I'm just ill, just real
Just super talented
My favorite White Stripes album is Elephant
Okay, I know that's irrelevant
But that's my shit
And LeChe so delicious, delicious
I'm 'bout to take you on a ride
Of a struggling artist
It ain't no easy life
You gotta hustle the hardest, oh
And yes, time is fast
And yes, time is cash
Your shine will pass you by
You gotta keep your eyes open
Oh
Ride
You gotta hustle the hardest
Time is fast
Time is cash
Gotta keep your eyes open
