First things first, you don’t get to validate me
I’m a self-made nigga, that mean ain’t nobody make me
Except in 86, back when Herb and Stephany made a baby
Ever since then I’ve been calling shots on the daily
Call me shy, call me crazy
Call me if you need the job done
Never been to Queens but I’m every bit of God’s son
Played this joint for Jesus, he said “Chizzle, boy you got one
When you coming back, we’ve been waiting on you to drop something”
Let them wait, I’m talking to myself
I got married, I got paper, I got on my mental health
Soul food tastes better when it’s sitting in the crock pot
Thoughts marinate, hit the plate, then it’s nonstop
Snacks on wax when I’m faced with the long shot
Straight when they hate, watch they face when the bomb drop
Swish, that’s what it sounds like when the song stop
Celebrate the race, we don’t wait until we on top
Dreamers never sleep and sleepers never see their dreams
That’s just how it goes, ain’t nothing in between
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up do your thing
Get your cash, get your money, get your paper, get your cream, king
Dreamers never sleep and sleepers never see their dreams
That’s just how it goes, ain’t nothing in between
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up do your thing
Get your cash, get your money, get your paper, get your cream, queen
I don’t wanna force it, I would rather forfeit
Rather be the big guy, they would rather orbit
I’m the undefeated champ, might as well endorse it
5 strike logo hat leaning on my forehead
Pay me what I ask for, do not stop the cash flow
You know I gotta add it to my WaveApps dashboard
We be all in Mexico, stamping in the passport
Posted with the wife, thick, fine, all natural
God is good
Make it bounce, make it count, you know how I do it
Youngin’s call me OG cause they know me I be proud to school them
Told them about the hurdles and I showed them how to power through it
Independent money can be lovely ask me how I know it
I’m a star, I’m a work of art
Hashtag goals, write my autograph in tire marks
What else you expect when you see somebody grind this hard
Small town guy, big dreams make it mighty far
Dreamers never sleep and sleepers never see their dreams
That’s just how it goes, ain’t nothing in between
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up do your thing
Get your cash, get your money, get your paper, get your cream, king
Dreamers never sleep and sleepers never see their dreams
That’s just how it goes, ain’t nothing in between
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up do your thing
Get your cash, get your money, get your paper, get your cream, queen
