[Danny Brown] 8 balls wit a safety pin I deserve the finer things Told myself back then When I used to ride a Schwinn
Now I´m on a tour bus Going places I ain´t never been Wrote my rhymes down on a paper bag That was way back Having dreams of a Cadillac Dog, I had to bounce back Locked a nigga up Why they do me like that? Now I´m on the Jack in the county Asking mommy for some money Swear to God she´d do anything for me Now we out the hood and the nightmare is us going back So I won´t go to sleep ´til I finish that Cousin of death anyway Now I see better day And I ain´t tryna miss a minute, second hour Living on borrowed time
Can´t think about tomorrow ´cause it´s about today And you know you wanna take my place Let´s get it
[Kelela] You turn around, and now I´m winning I built it up, from the ground You stay asleep, I´m gonna get it I built it up, from the ground
[Danny Brown] Now tell me, would you sacrifice your dreams? What it takes if you want anything Got me missing sleep ´cause my mind on the beat So while I´m counting bars y´all be counting sheep No cheat sheet, get it out the mud
Get it how you live, why I´m out here in the field My nigga wake up, wipe the cold out your eyes It´s a cold, cold world but even hotter when you die So no try to do, what about you? Work off, well met, do the same thing too A lot locked up wishing they was like you Got a letter from my nigga saying he be out in June Been down for a minute and every since sentence Things ain´t been the same so I´m missing my nigga Staring at the ceiling thinking how far I came Was trapped in the storm but I made it out the rain
[Kelela]
You turn around, and now I´m winning I built it up, from the ground You stay asleep, I´m gonna get it I built it up, from the ground
