Essentials

(album: Somebody Up There Loves Me - 2023)

What a major role they played, roads get paved
Every time these raps get laid, the trap get paid
Filled-up black Escalades, we rush the stage
At the sight of—
Correct

Know the rules when you lurking in these streets (In these streets)
And tell the truth when you talking over beats
'Cause the price of your actions can be very cheap (Very cheap)
It cost nothing to knock you off for bluffing
Shit, what I do is not up for discussion, Jeep rumbling
Sound like it's packed with live percussion
I came from nothing, it's all humbling
Between moments of silence and weed crumbling
I take time to remind myself of all the struggling
Job juggling, nine-to-fiving, punching clocks
It's all puzzling tryna piece together knots
I was overworking, tryna find purpose
Until I felt like purpose was something that I worshipped
That idol shit don't move me
Idle time is the devil's time, don't take it loosely
The ink's spilled and I fill up all the looseleaf
They ask me how I'm feeling, I tell 'em I'm really Gucci
Baby been down since day one, so she get Pucci (Yeah)
That's all essential
From watches to the cars we drive, all presidential
Everything we speak, it's gold diamonds in our dentals
Shout out to the ones showing love, so instrumental

What a major role they played, roads get paved
Every time these raps get laid, the trap get paid
Filled-up black Escalades, we rush the stage
At the sight of us, they scream and rage, essential

Filled-up black Escalades, we rush the stage
At the sight of us, they scream and rage, essential

Big wheels, drop-top, windows up (Windows up)
Marni bowling shirt, button-up (Button-up)
Little chain poking, I ain't doing much
My lady got the blick in a little clutch, rolling up (Rolling up)
Byredo on her neck smelling like a flower
Not tripping off gas price, we been out for hours
Cruising the city until the sun fall
Jordan and Phil, that's how we going ball
Back on our bullshit for the whole fall
Winter, spring, and summer, I'm back doing my numbers
Look alive, young world, get your ass up out the slumber
I built from under
Cutting and blasting my way to the top like a miner
While y'all was crying and gasping, acting like a minor
Ya heard James, this a man's world, let me remind ya
Untuck your tail between your legs and get your grind up
I know you can do it, let this music motivate you and help you push right through it
