lyrics

Everybody

I.

This is a feeling, I know you feel it
A really big feeling, I know you in
So we sit in it, losses, winnings
There ain’t no start nah, there ain’t no finish
There’s only hustle and these fast lanes it’s insane
There’s only fast moments, fast cars and heroine
Weed liquor pills dollar bills, and short attention
Speak the human condition, my only intention

Everybody
Everybody feel it
Everybody hungry
And they chasin’ like a million
Everybody
(you feel it)
Everybody feel it
Everything feel it

Everybody
Everybody runnin’
Everybody feelin’
like the barrel of a gun
Everybody
Done runnin’
Every everybody
Everybody

II.

I just want a million, that ain’t much
Not in these times, not the way they squeeze minds
I bet that you don’t know, not a single soul
Who ain’t got a big plan tell you they gon blow
So they could blow (blow) all that big dough
Do it like the big screen, a really big show
That don’t show nothing that you ever touchin’
Nothing that will make you function that’s why everybody frontin’
Like they don’t feel it like they don’t see it coming
But I’m a tell you something, I’m here and I ain’t running
Until I’m out there running in a game that feel like hunger
I’m a bless you and ya mutha with a song that’s more than money
Like I’m flowin’ for a million even if it’s in my mind
Never want or need that fame, nah I’m feeling fine
Cuz I set these small goals, I kill it every time
Making music with my homies and I’m a do it til I die (love)

III.

Bloody, these poems I flow, this is moment I know
I’m out in the cold, there’s nowhere to go
But I’m a rider… I’m surviving
I’m striving… I’m climbing
Right on time with these lines for your sour lime
I mean your dark mind, I bring you sunshine
I bring you rain drops until your pain stops
I send you pictures for the wishes in your brain
Through your shakes and your brakes so you feel sane
You should not feel shame, I know your real name
The Blue Planet, the most beautiful thing
Can be a cold dream, I know why you had to go there
But now you’re back and you’re back for good
Let this song be a gun you tuck in your back
If you ever doubt self, pull it out aim it at the world
Just to let it know that you home, and you fuckin’ know
