Emergency

(album: There's Really A Wolf - 2017)

Yeah, yeah
Oh, mmm
Yeah, yeah
Yeah

I been climbing, the view's spectacular
Even if I crash, I'd rather drive than be the passenger
Slightly philosophical, I wanna die young as old as possible
As of late, I been feeling responsible
For my family's livelihood, I think tonight we should
Celebrate the fact that I'm a star and that the likelihood
Of me blowing, in the next couple of months is definite
Anticipate me coming like the porn stars in my messages
Speaking of porn stars, all my exes all Latinas
Hits them like tequila when they see me in arenas, yeah
It hasn't happened yet but trust me, y'all gon' pay for it
Being devils in disguise is everything I pray for
I learned a lot though from all the above
I guess God got a job at the comedy club
But fuck that, I'm buzzing now, whole industry flocking
'Cause I'm the people's champ and you just industry popping, c'mon

I been traveling a lot now
Got to find the time to
Take it in and take a step back
Kick it with the family
I cannot help it that I'm focused on my vision
All the time, it just feels like it's an emergency
I tell my mama, don't you cry, I'll be back soon though
Always moving with a sense of urgency

Yeah, yeah, I swear I had a year that you can't ignore
I swear that no one's ever won, how I'm winning before
Pretty women like Julia Roberts come to the concerts
And scream daddy but I ain't about to adopt her
I gotta conquer and collect
Every fucking check, gotta pay a couple tuitions
Write 'em off as an expense
Let the takeover commence
If I say it, I believe it, you just dream of success
I stay awake to achieve it, this crazy seeing
Girls I used to crush on, fucking to my love songs
Yeah, I'm getting commas but I'm 'bout to get my run on
Flights bitchcoastal, everything paid for
That's just how it goes when you take what they wait for
Things are picking up, I'm just tryna find the peace
Some people shine and give it back but my shine is not a lease
This is permanently owned, if I lose it, it's on my terms
I don't wish for shit, I desired and acquire

I been traveling a lot now
Got to find the time to
Take it in and take a step back
Kick it with the family
I cannot help it that I'm focused on my vision
All the time, it just feels like it's an emergency
I tell my mama, don't you cry, I'll be back soon though
Always moving with a sense of urgency

No failure is final, no success is permanent
It's madness, mom really 'bout to march like the tournament
Certain shits been fucking up my days and nights
Like yeah, my parents got no money so I guess I gotta pay the price
At least I have it, let me get my blessings straight
If this was last year, we'd be food stamps and Section 8
Awkward conversations with my dad he's feeling cursed
He's asking me for gas it's like the roles are reversed
Monitor what Russ' making, feeling like I'm suffocating
Feeling like I need 10 shots and 2 blunts to chase it
Accepting what is and letting go of what was
Having faith in what could be if I just one up
Myself every time I let the chips fall, where they may
I got pit stops in LA, making shit pop every day, yeah
People stumble on stones that I used to step on
The chips I mentioned earlier, I pick 'em up and bet on myself

I been traveling a lot now
Got to find the time to
Take it in and take a step back
Kick it with the family
I cannot help it that I'm focused on my vision
All the time, it just feels like it's an emergency
I tell my mama, don't you cry, I'll be back soon though
Always moving with a sense of urgency
