lyrics

yo.
its 24 hours in a day
work about 8, barely worth the pay
and all day i'm thinkin bout the shit I'd rather do like
nada damn thang and sippin on a brew
building with the crew
Tryna get more than what I had before
Its like an uphill battle for the cash galore
but fuck it...i never lose
Instead of letting life kick me, I said "ima be the boot"
so I'm walkin it
check 1, 2? Yeah I'm talkin it
cause niggas like me? can barely fit into this office shit
without looking like the awkward mix
too smart for the streets
not dumb enough for the beats
sheesh...
plus every job I get be somewhat demeaning
sick of taking trash out, toilet bowl cleaning
bout ready to spaz out, they want my peace?
but this ain't bouta be no easy defeat...

so if you wit me say
FUCK THAT SHIT
(Fuck that shit!!)
like yo I'm better than that!!
(I'm better than that!!)
Yo if you wit me say fuck that shit!!
say I'm better than that...
Yo this is my motivation
(man this ain't even a 9-5...)
this is my motivation...
(shit i'm still with ma dukes man...)


Ay look --
i got one of them bullshit jobs
so i can just hit ghost when it all take off
but damn...i gotta dumb myself down for a few laughs
and ain't nigga there that care that i rap
but shit -- i got a dream
to slide up on the scene
wit the Gs in my hand
blowin trees wit my man
out in killa cali, overseas in japan
chillin wit a cool chick, laid up in the sand
and man...
i know its a lot to want from life
but you goddamn right a nigga want it overnight
i ain't got no patience
kick these niggas to the curb if they waiting
to me that's wasting
taking sides with satan
tryna be safe, because your talents take you outside of a comfortable place
you gotta look this shit right in the face
make eye contact
and if you can't, you a disgrace
and ima be like

fuck that shit!!!
like, yo I'm better than that....
so if you wit me say fuck that shit!!!
like, yo I'm better than that...
man this is my motivation
(cause when the last time YOU bought an album, for real...)
this is my motivation...
(niggas doing four years, get a degree, looking for the same jobs as me? nigga please....)
