Lyrics

Ryan Blades
As promised
I keep my word yo
And now my vision’s clear
You know what it is, make money
Get it independently, be your own boss
Own your own masters, own your own publishing
Then overcharge for the Cold Crush
I ain’t left but I’m feeling, spitting the goat is back
I’m taking life super serious ain’t no holding back
I endured so much trauma and I ain’t going back
I don’t gamble, but if I’m betting ****, I’m rolling black
For a little my life was heading a cul de sac
Devastated, I really even was bored of rap
I was clapping off rhythm just like the Nolia Clap
Now I’m throwing bullets strategically like a quarterback
I had to write in my journal, felt like a bitch ****
But it’s evolving my mental to get to six figures
I’d rather that than be loading clips and to grip triggers
Life threw me so many curve balls I’m a switch hitter (pause)
People hate me cause I’m resourceful
And I’m filled with confidence and I’m dominant cause I’m hopeful
And my mind is prominent cause I’m boastful, come spend a day wit me
Believe in God, please get those fucking crystals away from me
Remember when I saw 50k in a shoe box
My **** he allegedly acquired from selling blue tops
He was inspired by 2009 Guwop
While I was playing Miseducation and blasting Doo Wop
I was always that person who put the art first
I never sold a drug but I really put in the hard work
And now it seems it was really worth it cause I’m alive
That 50k it couldn’t do nothing because my partna died
He got killed for the same drugs that he sold
But I guess he left the earth like a G, right, cause he never told
Lifestyles of the pour and the dangerous
We want the bag, we don’t care to be overly famous
So when I’m swimming in riches just know I earned that
Perfect the craft while I’m reading so I can learn facts
I carried all of this tension I needed burlap
I told life, I’m back for my karma you can adjourn that
You can smoke, pass and hit it but I’m higher
I can tell that your only cataclysm was The Wire
The truth is I act driven but I’m tired
Feels like a baptism under fire
Life can be hard, I know that I’m blessed
I get blessing after blessing but I know that I’m stressed
It’s like woman after woman, and I know it’s a test
I still hit it but at least I told her hold on your dress
I’m a Libra but still I struggle to find balance
My heart is pure but never struggled to find malice
I heard they thick down in Texas, I’m bout to find Dallas
I hold my dreams so tight my hands define callus
You can smoke, pass and hit it but I’m higher
I can tell that your only cataclysm was The Wire
The truth is I act driven but I’m tired
Feels like a baptism under fire
