Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Get yours, ****, 'cause I'ma get mine in due time

Everybody'll shine, get yours, I spray 9s

I say this one time, the last time, I swear to y'all

I'm from where the dope fiends is at

And killas crawl and snitches call police

All these **** and street corners

Everybody's like smokin' marijuana and

Snuffin' **** in faces and startin' drama and

Shootin' ****, cold blood, just kill 'em, so what?

With the four pound, go nuts

Better slow up before you get your ass on up

**** never gonna grow up

Drinkin' the Henny but he know he gonna throw up

Tryna make crack sales, what it look like, the future for a black male?

Don't want to make my Mama cry, on a front page for a homicide

Fly whips, all I wanted to drive

Where chicks get blunted and ride

Do a hundred and five in the fast lane and a fast pace

Chasin' the papes, spendin' chips on big chains

And the dimes that give brains, that was a '80s and '90s thing

Now I'm into big things

[Verse 2]

Nah, I ain't fuckin' with you, now I'm into big things

Gotta get my life together, man, 'cause now I'm into big things

Nah, I ain't gonna ride with you, 'cause now I'm into big things

You know I can't do that shit no more, 'cause now I'm into big things

Nah, I can't fuck with you, I'm into big things

Nah, I ain't gonna stand on no corners, I'm into big things

Tired of talkin' small talk, I'm into big things

I'm into big things, them big things, them big things

[Verse 3]

When I started this, all I wanted was cars and cribs

Like other rap artists is but do I know where I'm goin' to?

Can I forget when I come from?

I'll be showin' you another style I'ma flow for you

Can I make something wild I can throw for you, flow for you?

Make it bi-coastal, take it to heights some of y'all can't come

Close to

Some of y'all want to talk like hoes, worse than bitches

And when y'all **** see me blow, bet it hurt like stitches

No competitions, I stop and twist 'em

Hit 'em like a mafia proposition

I rap, y'all stop and listen

Thinkin' back when I ain't had no pot to piss in

Look up at a **** now, rocks are glistenin'

Can't stop my mission, make another LP drop

I'm hittin' with the new shit exclusive

No time to get caught up in a crime I ain't have shit to do with

Used to chase the hoes, now I chase the dough

Is y'all bitches gonna help me get paper? No

[Verse 4]

Nah, I ain't fuckin' with you, now I'm into big things

Gotta get my life together, man, 'cause now I'm into big things

Nah, I ain't gonna ride with you, 'cause now I'm into big things

You know I can't do that shit no more, 'cause now I'm into big things

Nah, I can't fuck with you, I'm into big things

Nah, I ain't gonna stand on no corners, I'm into big things

Tired of talkin' small talk, I'm into big things

I'm into big things, them big things, them big things

[Verse 5]

I go past y'all, y'all got that glass jaw

And when I hit it, admit it, your on your ass, y'all

We on the same team, you don't wanna pass the ball, chuck and

Gunnin' for dough

You wanna score but you really don't know how to ball

I put you on, it was me that introduced you to wealth

Crossin' me is like shootin' yourself, wanna blow so fast

Now do it yourself

Your ain't shit now

You was so ill, why you never came out?

Where your clique now, where you sit now?

In the back seat, mad 'cause I flip styles

And I pack heat

Make you run laps like a pro athlete

And I done that

From my experiences, I appear relentless

Take more time just to hear my sentence

I'ma tell you what's real and what could stop you from makin' a mil

You could prevent this

When **** don't see eye to eye to you

Lie to you, wanna get high with you

Want to eat food off of your labor

And take food off your table

'Cause they don't see your vision, don't understand your mission

Is to make history while you here

How long you plan on livin'?

Not forever, at least to 140

Pray for me, I'm tryna eat like the **** who bought Motown off

Berry Gordy, good God

[Verse 6]

****, I'm tired of games, I'm into big things

Gotta get my life together, man, 'cause now I'm into big things

Tired of talkin' small talk 'cause now I'm into big things

I'm into big things, them big things, them big things

Man, we already did that, now I'm into big things

No time to get sidetracked, now I'm into big things

Gettin' money now and besides that some more big things

I'm into big things, them big things, them big things
