They be sleepin', yeah, they be sleepin'
But on the gram, yeah, they be creepin', they be creepin'
They only want me when I'm poppin', when I'm poppin'
And I'm only gettin' started, gettin' started, oh
You know I know the way, you know I need to stay
Sleep on me if you really want to, that's on you
Sleepin' on me, better wake up
I'm just workin' my way up
Haters stay trynna play, but
I'm just trynna get this paper
Watch what you say, I can see it in your face, yeah
Why you stealin' first base, yeah
I'ma go to first place, yeah
And we won't stop, no
And we won't stop, oh
They be hatin', yeah, they be hatin'
But when you win they say you made it, congratulations
They wanna be there when you high up, up on the charts
But where were you at the bottom, right from the start, oh
You know I'm on my way, you know I'm here to stay
Sleep on me if you really want to, that's on you
Sleepin' on me, better wake up
I'm just workin' my way up
Haters stay trynna play, but
I'm just trynna get this paper
Watch what you say, I can see it in your face, yeah
Why you stealin' first base
I'ma go to first place, yeah
