[Intro]
(Yeah yeah)

[Chorus]
Tiger eyes
I can even see 'em if they coming from behind
They be blind
They wanna fight the truth and live in lies
But I teach 'em by example while alive
Tiger eyes
I can even see 'em if they coming from behind
They be blind
They wanna fight the truth and live in lies
But I teach 'em by example while alive

[Verse 1]
I teach by example while I'm alive
I lead by example till the day I die
That's not before I hit 999
I put that work in 365
Days a year
I move cold and slow like a glacier
I make you pop cold and flu everyday
Flow on chicken soup to make you feel okay
Recipe is based on what your grandma say
I'm the golden child now
That's why they play me
But back in day I used be
The black sheep
Things have changed
I got it rearranged

[Chorus]
Tiger eyes
I can even see 'em if they coming from behind
They be blind
They wanna fight the truth and live in lies
But I teach 'em by example while alive
Tiger eyes
I can even see 'em if they coming from behind
They be blind
They wanna fight the truth and live in lies
But I teach 'em by example while alive

[Verse 2]
Damn I do a lot I hope you learn from me
I hope you don't go through the same shit
Rappers go through just to get rich
I swear I know a dawg that became a bitch
They might sensor this
But if I named him they gon' have it on repeat cause they live for this
They wanna see us all battle
What the fuck is this
If they diss let 'em diss
I won't waste my time
It's already heavy on my wrist
That's a Breitling not a Rolly
Personal preference
I don't like what you like
And you don't like what I like
So we're not alike
I tried to be polite

[Chorus]
Tiger eyes
I can even see 'em if they coming from behind
They be blind
They wanna fight the truth and live in lies
But I teach 'em by example while alive
Tiger eyes
I can even see 'em if they coming from behind
They be blind
They wanna fight the truth and live in lies
But I teach 'em by example while alive

[Intro]
(Yeah yeah)

[Chorus]
(Yeah) You can be a lion in the jungle
You can be a shark in the sea
You can be anything
You can be broke as shit
Or you can be so rich
That you brake the money machine (Yeah yeah)
You can be a lion in the jungle
You can be a shark in the sea
You can be anything
You can be broke as shit
Or you can be so rich
That you brake the money machine (Yeah yeah)

[Verse 1]
You can be anything
I swear to god
Before this became my reality
It was all a dream
But I backed it up with one thing
You call it work
I call it pick up yourself from the dirt
Never follow the herd
Never do what they want you to do
Never believe that you don't know the truth
Ain't no illuminati right here
Just 6 triangles in the air
Nothing to do with no devils
Tell me am I clear

[Bridge]
Controversy
Whether I'm right or wrong
That shit hurts me
For like a minute or two
But then I'm cool (Yeah)
Controversy
Whether I'm right or wrong
That shit hurts me

[Verse 2]
Go brake the money machine
Make sure the money is clean
Get amounts you've never seen
If a hundred or two are missing
Don't make a scene
I doubt it's one of the team
Unless you letting in
Niggas you never knew
Don't know nothing 'bout their attitude
Don't keep track of what they do
Don't show respect to you
Fake respect ain't nothing new
It's just little kids these days
So, don't get amazed
And don't get phased
Man

[Chorus/Outro]
You can be a lion in the jungle
You can be a shark in the sea
You can be anything
You can be broke as shit
Or you can be so rich
That you brake the money machine (Yeah yeah)

[Intro]
(Look)
(Look what you made me do)
(Yeah yeah)

[Chorus]
Look what you made me do
Everything I'm doing is because of you
I got nothing to say
You made me get out my ways
Just to play your games
But everything is changing nowadays
Look what you made me do
Everything I'm doing is because of you
I got nothing to say
You made me get out my ways
Just to play your games
But everything is changing nowadays

[Verse 1]
1998
I put my mama through some pain
But it's never too late to pay her back
I know it feels good to be in the back of a black Maybach
Whatever else you want, this and that
Imma get it all just to show you that
The checks coming through ain't bad
You thought I'd never pay bills
Wait till I'm on Forbes with all my bills
I was less than 20 with more than 20 mills
I realized that to get it I just need to keep my eyes
Focused on my prize, 'cause it's in front of me but in disguise

[Chorus]
Look what you made me do
Everything I'm doing is because of you
I got nothing to say
You made me get out my ways
Just to play your games
But everything is changing nowadays
Look what you made me do
Everything I'm doing is because of you
I got nothing to say
You made me get out my ways
Just to play your games
But everything is changing nowadays

[Verse 2]
Look watch you made me do
You was once my boo
Now I see you tryna pass through
For me to talk to you
But I got a girl that would go Kung Fu if she knew
Oh yeah she bad
She kicks in the air and makes you lay on your back
And you can barley even do a jumping jack
She'd attack without giving signs like a zodiac
I'm sorry I had to break it to you like that
But it is what it is just face the fact
That me and you are just a thing of the past
I know I was the best but I don't have to be the last

[Chorus]
Look what you made me do
Everything I'm doing is because of you
I got nothing to say
You made me get out my ways
Just to play your games
But everything is changing nowadays
Look what you made me do
Everything I'm doing is because of you
I got nothing to say
You made me get out my ways
Just to play your games
But everything is changing nowadays

[Intro]
(Tell everybody that I'm ready
Whatever it is let's go get it)
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
(Woah)

[Chorus]
Tell everybody that I'm ready
Whatever it is let's go get it
Time is of the essence
I gotta reap more of my blessings
So I can give out more presents (Yeah)
Tell everybody that I'm ready
Whatever it is let's go get it
Time is of the essence
I gotta reap more of my blessings
So I can give out more presents (Yeah)

[Verse 1]
I gotta reap more of my blessings
You reap what you sow and I sow seeds of dough
And watch my money grow, then I go and plant more
Gotta get it galore
Get it big or don't get it at all
Cause I tried getting it small, and it stressed me that's all
And I don't wanna be stressed I just wanna be blessed like Mally Mall
Small money's just as bad as getting no money
'Cause the second you get a hold of it it starts running
Bills gotta get paid, History gotta get made
If I leave dust on the way sweep it like a maid
And learn like you made it to the thirteenth grade
Trust me when I say that it's worth the wait (Yeah Yeah)

[Chorus]
Tell everybody that I'm ready
Whatever it is let's go get it
Time is of the essence
I gotta reap more of my blessings
So I can give out more presents (Yeah)

Time is of the essence
I gotta reap more of my blessings
So I can give out more presents (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
The more I learn, the more I write
The more I earn, the more everything starts to get right
It sounds simple right
But it wasn't all smooth
Some days I had to fight like I was fighting for my life
Rest in peace Phife
Quest is the name of the tribe
Now, tell me can I
Can I kick it
Yes, I can and I don't need approval from another man
Can I kick it
I said, can I hit a lick so quick then jump in my whip
You couldn't catch me in a Buick
I'm on my way to do splits with those who helped me plan the blitz
When you plan right you never miss hits

[Chorus]
Tell everybody that I'm ready
Whatever it is let's go get it
Time is of the essence
I gotta reap more of my blessings
So I can give out more presents (Yeah)
Tell everybody that I'm ready
Whatever it is let's go get it
Time is of the essence
I gotta reap more of my blessings
So I can give out more presents (Yeah)

[Intro]
Shit is going down
Shit is going crazy
None of my bros ever told me pay me

[Chorus]
(Yeah) Shit is going down
Shit is going crazy
None of my bros ever told me pay me
They get paid what they're owed before
I pay myself that's for sure (Yeah)
Shit is going down
Shit is going crazy
None of my bros ever told me pay me
They get paid what they're owed before
I pay myself that's for sure (Yeah)

[Verse 1]
We work out of love for the game, but this game is a hoe
The more you fuck her the more she gives you more
Put yourself in my shoes
Wouldn't you be fucking this hoe 24
Even though I'm in love with the game
I've been low-key seeing fame
I told'em both Je T'aime
And they both replied back saying they feel the same thing
Now I'm stuck in between
Love for the sound and love for the screen
Love for the people and love for the magazines
But I always put my people over everything (Yeah yeah)

[Chorus]
Shit is going down
Shit is going crazy
None of my bros ever told me pay me
They get paid what they're owed before
I pay myself that's for sure (Yeah)

None of my bros ever told me pay me
They get paid what they're owed before
I pay myself that's for sure (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
If I owe you a dime
Here's a dime, and another dime for waiting overtime
But as far I remember I don't owe nobody shit
Because I paid everybody before I paid myself bitch
How the fuck you think I got rich
I took care of everybody's shit
And now in return they're taking care of me and my shit
Tables turn but bridges never burn in my clique
We're moving music like we're moving bricks
If it moves right then we all profit and we go big
Some shit gotta move slow
And some shit gotta move quick

[Bridge]
We're moving music like we're moving bricks
If it moves right then we all profit and we go big
Some shit gotta move slow

Lyrics:
[Intro]
(Yeah)
(Look)
(Look)
(Look)

[Chorus]
(Yeah) I've been riding 'round the city
Thinking 'bout how I'm gonna get it
Everything you say you're gonna do
Man I already did it
It's unfair but it's worth it
I admit it (Yeah)
I've been riding 'round the city
Thinking 'bout how I'm gonna get it
Everything you say you're gonna do
Man I already did it
It's unfair but it's worth it
I admit it (Yeah)

[Verse 1]
It's unfair, but it's worth it
Mr. Clean strong, I put the work in
You can call my phone when I'm working
Star 67 'til I get my returns in
No hard feelings no hurtin'
But I won't spend another second lurking
Around the city doing nothing, that's for certain
Maybe I'm a whole different person
Than the one you knew
I need a sticker on my face saying brand new
And to keep it like that I really might get it tattooed
Cause I had enough of you getting it misconstrued
I'm tryna make it better than the ones that paved the way for me and you
Without compromising my gratitude
Forever I got love and respect for you

[Chorus]
I've been riding 'round the city
Thinking 'bout how I'm gonna get it
Everything you say you're gonna do
Man I already did it
It's unfair but it's worth it
I admit it (Yeah)
I've been riding 'round the city
Thinking 'bout how I'm gonna get it
Everything you say you're gonna do
Man I already did it
It's unfair but it's worth it
I admit it (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
I used to dream
About rapping in sold out arenas
And I haven't changed a thing
Ain't shit changed
Except the number after the dot on the range
If you know then you know
And if you don't then it's okay
It's not like we talk a lot about what we got
Or maybe we do love to stay hot
For the love of the game we stay hot
For the love of the fame we don't say a lot
For the love of hate we listen to what you say
And everything you say is the same
What a lame what a lame
You don't give us a chance but to treat you with shame
You're the only one to blame for what you became
Mr. No name (Yeah)

[Chorus]
I've been riding 'round the city
Thinking 'bout how I'm gonna get it
Everything you say you're gonna do
Man I already did it
It's unfair but it's worth it
I admit it (Yeah)
I've been riding 'round the city
Thinking 'bout how I'm gonna get it
Everything you say you're gonna do
Man I already did it
It's unfair but it's worth it
I admit it (Yeah)

Lyrics:
[Intro]
Okay
Okay
Yeah

[Chorus]
They wanna play
But it comes with a price, a price they don't wanna pay
Don't wanna be judged by people for shit that they say
For shit that they do
They end up not chasing their dreams from being afraid
As if they got something to lose

[Verse 1]
(Yeah)
They think I got nothing to lose
Based on the way that I move (yeah)
They think I be sleeping all day
Cause I don't pick up my phone (no)
I'd rather be working than talking to you
I'd rather be making than watching the news
I'd rather do something I know that you never would do
But wish you could do
Yeah
You only looked at my end result
But overlook what I did in the vault
That's what they taught you so it's not your fault
I'm tryna stay sugar while dealing with salt (yeah)
Y'all too salty
I'm too wavy
I'm honest I've never been fakey

[Chorus]
They wanna play
But it comes with a price, a price they don't wanna pay
Don't wanna be judged by people for shit that they say
For shit that they do
They end up not chasing their dreams from being afraid
As if they got something to lose

[Verse 2]
(Look)
Swallow your pride
Before it becomes the reason for your demise
Follow the vibe
You'll see that I'm telling the truth if you look in my eyes
Not through a screen
You gotta see me in person to know what I mean
When I told you my life is a dream 'cause
Everything always works out for me
All of the ladies they vouch for me
Most of you niggas got jealousy
But low key I know you be feeling me
I know exactly what you wanna be
Famous and rich and the king of the sea
But dreams are just dreams
If you don't get up and show up and be

[Chorus/Outro]
They wanna play
But it comes with a price, a price they don't wanna pay
Don't wanna be judged by people for shit that they say
For shit that they do
They end up not chasing their dreams from being afraid
As if they got something to lose
They wanna play (yeah)
But it comes with a price, a price they don't wanna pay (yeah)
Don't wanna be judged by people for shit that they say
For shit that they do
They end up not chasing their dreams from being afraid
As if they got something to lose

Lyrics:
[Intro]
Yeah
Okay
Lost in my thoughts I'm not
Ayy

[Chorus]
Lost in my thoughts I'm not lost in you
I don't really worry 'bout losing you
If you love me then you can stay
And if you don't why not leave me today?
Lost in my thoughts I'm not lost in you
I don't really worry 'bout losing you
If you love me then you can stay
And if you don't why not leave me today?

[Verse 1]
Ayy
Leave me if you don't understand me
I said leave me if you can't really stand me
My life's a movie rest in peace to Stan Lee
My banker's full name is Morgan Stanley
I tried to make a song about something other than the money
But the money keeps coming in and that's how I'm coming
I never tell it to slow down as if I'm -
I never tell it to slow down as if I'm nutting
I nutted in the world never nutted in my girl
I nutted in the banks then I rose to higher ranks
Now they say that I'm elite, used to say I'm obsolete
Now they say that I'm a genius, used to say that I'm a freak
If you love me then you can stay
And if you don't why not leave me today?
Before you leave I can swear to one thing
You'll never find another me

[Chorus]
Lost in my thoughts I'm not lost in you
I don't really worry 'bout losing you
If you love me then you can stay
And if you don't why not leave me today?
Lost in my thoughts I'm not lost in you
I don't really worry 'bout losing you
If you love me then you can stay
And if you don't why not leave me today?

[Verse 2]
You stay by my side cause my dreams never die
You stay by my side cause my dreams come alive
You stay by my side cause it's one hell of a ride
You stay by my side cause I'm always bringing life
I bring life to the party
Look at where I'm at and I still haven't started
I don't even know how you can call me coldhearted
Look at all the love that I be giving everybody
They always give it back cause they know I'm really 'bout it
I'm really 'bout love
I'm shining so bright like I'm sent from above
I fit everywhere like a custom made glove
But this is what I say when push comes to shove

[Outro/Chorus]
Lost in my thoughts I'm not lost in you
I don't really worry 'bout losing you
If you love me then you can stay
And if you don't why not leave me today?

Lyrics: 

[Verse]
Yeah
We're back locked in
Banna's back baby tell a friend
I broke the door cause I heard'em saying
“Don't let him in, that boy is trouble”
Cause I flood'em with music and they just cause a puddle
As if I should be soft and we should chill and cuddle
And deny that I'm god sent
What you want from me won't pay the rent
Let alone the gas money that I just spent
That's where my money went
Big tank with a V8
Shit is fast but I showed up late
Now I'm here with Maal and Champagne
Plotting big for this campaign
You would think we ran out of brain
Fuck your consequences
My eyes and yours got on different lenses
You dream about VWs instead of benzes
Your life got no adventures
While my life is full of capital ventures
My shit is expensive (Uh)
Own money not daddy money
That's why I can't relate when you boys talk to me
That's why I don't feel you when you start to brag
Cause I know you didn't work for this Louis bag
(Yeah) No offense
Excuse my French
I just look at life from a whole different lens
I take care of all my family and my friends
And the way you brag to me doesn't make sense
So take it how it is if you wanna take it
They sold me a dream now I can't wait to make it
The promised land is my destination
You can't use google maps to find this location
(But) But I'm still looking for it with no hesitation
I don't hesitate
I never to listen to people who say it's too late
I don't care what they got to say
What they say doesn't get me paid
So let'em say what they wanna say
We'll see who leads a better life 20 years from today
The one who's got a job doing what he wants
Or the one getting paid every 15th of the month

[Outro]
I don't hesitate
I never to listen to people who say it's too late
I don't care what they got to say
What they say doesn't get me paid
So let'em say what they wanna say
Boy
