Lyrics

Drinks on me, got my paper right (yeah) You can hustle too, get your paper right (yeah) Long before that diamond, I was in the dark (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Graveyard shift, had to double up Now that she sun is shinin', shinin', on me Everything is up (everything) Everything is up (everything) Went from the housing projects, projects, yeah (yeah) Now the real estate is up (yeah, it's up) (now we up) Everything is up (everything is up) (everything), mm-hmm Team 80 gon' save the game, fulfillin' aches and pain I'm just comin' off of section eight It cut deeper than a razor blade They let me hang for days You know it's up 'cause I saved the date (uh-huh) Financial freedom is so fulfillin' Generational wealth is what you show the children I'm in my righteous rhythm, from commentin', I got the right to pin 'em (I got the right to, uh) But let's focus on the wins, I'm tryna flourish from the flaws My moms told me that I'm bigger than 'em all, so I took her to the mall Told her pick up the first thing she saw I ain't forget, I still gotta change the addy on your door I got love for the pink and red ribbons (huh) Blessed to have health, and I'm livin' (yeah) And take it personal, how they did me (nah) I can't forget it, I believe in God, my whole life was written Drinks on me, got my paper right (oh-oh, oh, oh-oh) You can hustle too, get your paper right (oh-oh, oh, oh-oh) Long before that diamond, I was in the dark (oh-oh, oh, oh-oh) Graveyard shift, had to double up Stood tall on 'em corners Old ladies warned us, so they ain't have to mourn us Street lords said, "Join us" You could turn a brick to a Bimmer, here some pointers Nowadays, I'm ignorin' 'em Rather build a legacy for my son, that's important for him Real estate just rewardin' him Generational wealth, when I'm gone, he's still flourishin' Everybody ain't applaudin' him (applaudin' him) And the money that he stack is every barbershop's argument My elevator's up, pardon him (pardon him) When your name ring they start double-edge swordin' him (swordin' him) I don't do much bargaining So I keep a side hustle for the goals that I'm targetin' (Push) Drinks on me, got my paper right (oh-oh, oh, oh-oh) You can hustle too, get your paper right (oh-oh, oh, oh-oh) Long before that diamond, I was in the dark (oh-oh, oh, oh-oh) Graveyard shift, had to double up Look, I had to get my paper tight, mama need an acre, right I been workin' 24-7, like I can't waste a night Warrior, I'm battlin' problems that I can't wait to fight And the cards that they dealt her, got her takin' flight (woo) Modest, I can tell, I keep it real and prevail And when I had to go fail, they know that I'm rich as hell Shot callers, this legit, I be knowin' just what to sell Doin' it for my kids, kids, generational wealth And lil' ol' me just found a seat with all of the greats I'm investin' in myself, so it ain't hard to relate I been a lion, out the jungle, the lightning, that's in the thunder Inspired the ones that's younger, was tired of bein' under (yeah) Yeah, shifts at the graveyard, spend, but I save hard Porsche is my play car, all of it paid off Everything is up, movin' for us And my business in order, money stackin' taller Now Forbes wanna report us No matter what we do, they gon' wan' speak But they what they gon' do 'bout we? Oh, we the vibe in the city, oh Drinks on me, got my paper right (oh, oh) Got my paper right Drinks on me, got my paper right (oh, oh) Got my paper right Drinks on me, got my paper right
