Lyrics:
I look at the stars,
They asking me what do I see
(They asking me what do I see)
I noticed that lately,
All them constellations been looking like me,
(They been looking like me)
Inspired to shine, nigga
(Inspired to shine)
Inspired to dream,
(Inspired to dream)
I think of my life and I feel
That I may be as good as I seem
(I may be as good as I seem)
Yeah
Coming up,
I dreamt of the checks I’d be running up,
I sat on my bed writing lyrics to songs,
I would practice em all
But it wasn’t enough,
I wanna perform, I want a crowd
Singing it back to me, stadium loud
Homies in front, turning up
Getting down,
They gone off the liquor,
They drunken and proud
The energy hit when the lights on,
That energy hit when it’s my song,
I’m starting to think like a mogul,
I’m starting to feel like an icon,
Cuz I ain’t the same and I know it,
But I got the heart of a poet,
That money is good, but it’s new here
I’m trying so hard not to blow it
Cuz all of my friends walk around
And they icy,
Pricy,
But when it come to me,
I prefer just a tee and some Nikes,
Fight me, I might be,
Running from changes,
I like how it is,
It’s easy to covet the life that I live,
Still ain’t got used to the sight from the crib,
I knew I would have it when I was a kid
At moments the nights would be dark,
Won’t hold you, the journey was long,
Through all of the bullshit,
Imagine a younger me singing a song,
Like, “Hickory dickory,
My clock has been ticking to victory,
I don’t have a fear in the world,
Whenever it’s time,
I know they’ll be listening,”
Hickory dickory dock
This shit a bippity bop,
If I want these niggas to think,
Then I know that gotta get niggas to rock,
Gotta go harder with every drop
I’ll be remembered like Biggie and Pac,
That be the reason I stay on my grind,
I ain’t wasting no time when I’m racing the clock, yeah
Hickory dickory dock,
This shit a bippity bop,
If I can see them as a link,
Then I know that I gotta behave as the watch,
Crank that shit up if only by a notch,
Master the art and then give em a swatch,
Put everything that I got on the line,
I ain’t wasting no time cuz I’m racing the clock, yea
I’m a star now,
Them visions don’t feel very far now,
My parents was stressing,
Shit, worry no more,
Your girl got a job now,
And she afford an apartment,
And soon she gone push it to start it,
And everyone know who she is,
When she leave the crib,
she not getting carded,
And that ain’t from college,
Nah, that shit is all by the wonderful work of her hands,
And maybe the prayers y’all sent up at midnight,
When y’all ain’t know if I could see out my plan
But mama, I made it
And daddy, I’m faded
It’s how I stay grounded,
Cuz bitch, I’m elated, yeah
Now all of my messages full
Of these niggas who say we related,
I never met none of em
Why would I make out a check to em?
Listen, I know how that sound,
And it might have been different if I grew up next to em,
We been so distant, they’d question me
If found out how to send out a text to em,
It was just me with my head down,
Eyes red,
Barely slept in my bed,
14 hour bus rides,
Windows pillowed my head,
I knew it was coming, yeah
So I never stopped running,
I’m watching the lights go by,
I sat on that bus and was humming:
(Yeah)
Hickory dickory dock
This shit a bippity bop,
If I want these niggas to think,
Then I know that gotta get niggas to rock,
Gotta go harder with every drop
I’ll be remembered like Biggie and Pac,
That be the reason I stay on my grind,
I ain’t wasting no time when I’m racing the clock, yeah
Hickory dickory dock,
This shit a bippity bop,
If I can see them as a link,
Then I know that I gotta behave as the watch,
Crank that shit up if only by a notch,
Master the art and then give em a swatch,
Put everything that I got on the line,
I ain’t wasting no time cuz I’m racing the clock, yea

Why went so hard here bro😭😭❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥✊

[@michaelgooden4886]

2k brought me here. The lyrics are 🔥

[@yaboiavery5986]

Chika, both good & evil will always be present, your perspective depends upon which side you look through, when you're so unique, you'll receive love and you'll receive equally hate Think of it like a spectrum, if something is -30, depending upon the type of polarity it will either swing to +30 and create a pendulum back and fourth, or both will be present at once (likely the ladder) Just take your time, you don't want the people that would hate on you to be your supporters regardless, them showing their true colors in this way should help you distance yourself from the bad people Like I said take your time, feel better soon, much love.

[@swetha__.]
