The Journey

Yeah, ooh

The hotel room, always workin'

Yeah, yeah

Out in California countin' up my blessings

Only 24 with a multi million dollar pension

Off my catalogue

That's 'cause I'm a don like Cheadle

'Cause I'm on

And I got more songs than the Beatles, woah

That's a stretch?

Yeah, I guess

But you get the jist

Laughin' at the skeptics 'cause

I always knew I'd get this rich

Family knew and Bugus knew

That's probably about it

Quicker you come in the game

The quicker you go out it

Y'all ain't really 'bout shit

Y'all ain't got no substance

Yea I heard your little viral song

Some fun, dumb shit

Some one month shit

You're a seasonal rapper

You a bitch the world fucks

'Cause we leavin you after

Don't hit my phone with some stupid shit

That's not why I gave you my new number, you stupid bitch

Delete and block you

I don't have to, but I want to

I'm just trimming the fat

Haters drowning in doubt

Meanwhile I'm swimming in cash

I was never cool with y'all, don't try to link up now

Cuz my train left the station, but it's a brink's truck now

I switch up styles

Like I was dating Badu

It's common to hate on the truth

I'm carving my name on the roof of

Hip Hop then breakin on through

To the otherside like Jim Morrison

Guzzlin' gin wondering if I drink more than him

Scary thought

I got the juice like Barry Bonds

I ain't tryna blend in like white kids with sperrys on

You're faker than these rappers who keep tryna claim indie

Major connections millions behind you

You're not indie

Get offended, then I got you by Hip-Hops' collar

'Cause Bugus told me that only a hit-dog hollers

Top dollars what they pay me for the flows now-a-days

Free weed, free women, free clothes now-a-days

All we got is time, so my time is my investor

I'm single, so I save money and live better

I need my plaques advanced

Tell the RIAA

Underrated and overlooked

Yes but never underpaid

Blew up off the web like Peter Parker

Went from flying 32F

To private jets getting chartered

This is my departure

Use to think it was delayed

'Till I let go of the wheel and let my faith fly my plane

That's when I started taking off

Millions in my bank account

Manifested everything

Became what I would think about

20,000 dollars for the show is what I'm making now

And that's just the guarantee

Before the merch and meet and greets

And that's only accurate as of today

I'm St. Louis with my hoes fly 'em back to LA

That's when I'm there 'cause really lately I've been all over

Studios my gym I lift my family up I'm all shoulders

I fall forward I don't ever fail

I went from past due bills

To 50 bands I'm getting better mail

Every sale I make I keep 100%

I put in overtime cuz momma owes 100 in debt

That's low ballin'

No calling my phone I'm in Greece

Self pressures at my neck

Aegean Sea at my feet

Took my mom around the world

My bucket list is ever changing

Women wet on arrival fuckin' chicks is better famous

I'm poppin from the Southside to the Sudan

This time last year mom applied for a food stamps yeah

And now it's Michelin star restaurants in every country new guala

The only one in the whole place below 40 with two commas

I Love the way I did it

Can't nobody tell me shit

'Cause ain't nobody make me hot

And ain't nobody make me rich

Hope that cash that your flashings been provisioned for your taxes

'Cause the IRS is watching

Flossing could be problematic

You should chill, act like you've seen some money before

I can't date a chick that's never left the country before

So take your bra off, put your hair up

Put my hoodie on

Eyes are windows to the soul

Yours say "put me on"

I got you baby every morning like I'm mark McGrath

And your body and my hands is my next collab

I'm texting back but not enough because my life is popping

You hop from dude to dude and club to club

I'm island hoppin'

Reminiscin' back before I had one track

Back when I would put a half a gram in blunt wraps

When me and Bugus got so high before our graduation

I think I got too high, I don't remember graduatin'

Laughing thinking fuck diplomas I got plaques now

Use to celebrate 1,000 plays looking back now

I realize that the journey is everything

There ain't no destination man the journey is everything

Looking back I realize the journey is everything

Ain't no destination man the journey is everything
