More Than I Deserve

(album: Open Flame - 2020)

[Nyck Caution:]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh you know, just so you know
Yeah

I don't wanna take more than I deserve
Had to concentrate, so I could find the words
There's a time to play and a time to work
Gotta find your way, gotta find your purpose
Breaking every circuit, shock the system, burst it
I played my music loud, sorry for the disturbance
It's not a rare occurrence, but I'm who they're referring
When they need someone cold, 'cause I get there and murk it
Eyes red like I'm allergic, some call me Collergeno
This a Brooklyn tale, though, and it's not a movie role
But I'm an Italian, eat at Ponte Vecchios
Shrimp in my risotto bowl, we don't do Spaghettios
Yeah, yeah, just some thoughts I had to leak out
They played the beat, now there's some things that I gotta speak 'bout
How you act like we brothers, but we don't even speak now?
It's all good, though, it's all me now
Yeah, uh, look at what my numbers become
I post a snippet, everybody want the song to be done
But I don't microwave the sound, I slowcook it, then steam it
I dreamed it, now look at what my slumber's become

[Flipp Dinero:]
Making it happen, I was steady trapping in the drought
Making it happen, I flip work from North up to the South
Making it happen, I'm gon' stack them M's without a doubt
Making it happen, I just chase the, M's, don't chase the clout
Making it happen, I was steady trapping in the drought
Making it happen, I flip work from North up to the South
Making it happen, I'm gon' stack them M's without a doubt
Making it happen, I just chase them M's, don't chase the clout

So it's trap, yeah
Flipping it, we getting it back, yeah
Niggas be talking that trap, yeah
Niggas be talking, they acting
Me and my guys, we clappers
Pull up, you know we clapping
Me and my niggas, we trappers
Pull up that call, shit tragic
Money in my life matters
I'ma get up, no capping
I cannot understand her
But she be calling me captain
Smoking a blunt of the cancer
This shit got me snapping
I cannot find the answer
But I will not stay stagnant (Ayy)
I search for better days (Yeah), I try to elevate (Yeah)
I plot and meditate (Yeah), I pray I pave the way (Yeah)
I watch and stop to save (Save), then watch me part the sea (Part the sea)
Like the Bible say a star that's bright like day (Bright like day)
I don't wanna take (Wanna take), more than I deserve (I deserve)
I gotta concentrate (Concentrate), so I can find the words (Find the word)
And there's a time to play (Time to play), and there's a time to work (Time to work)
You gotta find your way (Find your way), you gotta find your purpose (Find your purpose)
I don't wanna take (Wanna take), more than I deserve (I deserve)
I gotta concentrate (Concentrate), so I can find the words (Find the word)
And there's a time to play (Time to play), and there's a time to work (Time to work)
You gotta find your way (Find your way), you gotta find your purpose (Find your purpose)

I don't wanna take more than I deserve
There's a time to play (Ayy, ayy, ayy)

Making it happen, I was steady trapping in the drought
Making it happen, I flip work from North up to the South
Making it happen, I'm gon' stack them M's without a doubt
Making it happen, I just chase the, M's, don't chase the clout
Making it happen, I was steady trapping in the drought
Making it happen, I flip work from North up to the South
Making it happen, I'm gon' stack them M's without a doubt
Making it happen, I just chase them M's, don't chase the clout
