Lyrics

Don't want to live from paycheck to paycheck
Growing up was far from amazing
Im making a statement
Wisdom but still I don't make sense
Don't want to live from paycheck to paycheck
Growing up was far from amazing
When I don't talk I'm making a statement
I'm filled up with wisdom but still I don't make sense
Sometimes my thoughts they need validating
It's hard to switch up when you've
Come from the basement
Filled with amazement
Boy from the pavement
Wait my whole life so it's hard to be patient
Mi ò fẹ' gbọ', kí n ṣe sùúrù o
System ti bùrú gan
Make my first M then
Might do a milly rock
Pop champagne
Wà sí ilé Ọmọ Ọlọrun
Against all the odds
Make I do the impossible
They're asking for me Grumpy always knows what to do
Wanna take my Juliet away like I'm a Montague
Life's full of obstacles, oh
Don't let it get on top of you
Don't want to live from paycheck to paycheck
Growing up was far from amazing
When I don't talk I'm making a statement
I'm filled up with wisdom but still I don't make sense
Sometimes my thoughts they need validating
It's hard to switch up when you've
Come from the basement
Filled with amazement
Boy from the pavement
Wait my whole life so it's hard to be patient
Look It's crazy how the more you achieve can bring doubt
Being humble is a must when I'm up I've been down
I need rings so my pinky can dance in crystals
There's no chance when I'm up in the ring they throw towels
Homebody, comfort in my house
Answer to nobody cause were building from the ground
Can't take my soul from me
There's beauty in the drought
They might not see or hear us working but the evidence is loud
Don't want to live from paycheck to paycheck
Growing up was far from amazing
When I don't talk I'm making a statement
I'm filled up with wisdom but still I don't make sense
Sometimes my thoughts they need validating
It's hard to switch up when you've
Come from the basement
Filled with amazement
Boy from the pavement
Wait my whole life so it's hard to be patient
From the basement oh (you get me)
From the basement oh
Don't want to live from paycheck to paycheck
Growing up was far from amazing
From the basement eh
From the basement
Don't want to live from paycheck to paycheck
