HICKORY DICKORY
(专辑: ONCE UPON A TIME - 2021)
(30, you a
motherfucking fool nigga) I
look at the
stars They asking me what do I
see (They asking me what do I
see) I
noticed that lately All them constellations been looking like me (They been looking like me) Inspired to shine, nigga (Inspired to shine) Inspired to dream (Inspired to dream) I
think of my life and I
feel That I
may be as good as I
seem (I may be as good as I
seem) Coming up I
dreamt of the
checks I'd be running up I
sat on bed writing lyrics to songs I
would practice 'em all But it wasn't enough I
wanna perform, I
want a
crowd Singing it back to me, stadium loud Homies in front, turning up Getting down They gone of the
liquor They drunken and proud The
energy hit when the
lights on That energy when it's my song I'm starting to think like a
mogul I'm starting to feel like an icon Cause I
ain't the
same and I
know it But I
got the
heart of a
poet That money is good, but it's new here I'm trying so hard not to blow it Cause all of my friends walk around And they icy, pricy But when it come to me I
prefer just a
tee and some Nikes Fight me, I
might be Running from changes I
like how it is It's easy to covet the
life that I
live Still ain't got used to the
sight from crib I
knew I
would have it when I
was a
kid At moments the
nights would be dark Won't hold you, the
journey was long (Long) Through all of the
bullshit Imagine a
younger me singing a
song (Song) Like, "Hickory dickory" My clock has been ticking to victory I
don't have a
fear in the
world Whenever it's time I
know they'll be listening," Hickory dickory dock This shit a
bippity bop If I
want these niggas to think Then I
know that gotta get niggas to rock Gotta go harder with every drop I'll be remembered like Biggie and Pac That be the
reason I
stay on my grind I
ain't wasting no time when I'm racing the
clock, yeah Hickory dickory dock This shit a
bippity bop If I
can see them as a
link Then I
know that I
gotta behave as the
watch Crank that shit up if only by a
notch Master the
art and then give em a
swatch Put everything that I
got on the
line I
ain't wasting no time cause I'm racing the
clock, yeah I'm a
star now Them visions don't feel very far now My parents was stressing shit Worry no more Cause your girl got a
job now And she afford an apartment And soon she gone push it to start it And everyone know who she is When she leave the
crib She not getting carded And that ain't from college Nah, that shit is all by the
wonderful work of her hands And maybe the
prayers y'all sent up at midnight When y'all ain't know if I
could see out my plan But mama, I
made it And daddy, I'm faded It's how I
stay grounded Cause bitch, I'm elated, yeah Now all of my messages full Of these niggas who say we related I
never met none of em Why would I
make out a
check to em? Listen, I
know how that sound And it might have been different if I
grew up next to em We been so distant, they'd question me If found out how to send out a
text to em It was just me with my head down Eyes red Barely slept in my bed Fourteen hour bus rides Windows pillowed my head I
knew it was coming, yeah So I
never stopped running I'm watching the
lights going by I
sat on that bus and was humming: (Yeah) Hickory dickory dock This shit a
bippity bop If I
want these niggas to think Then I
know that gotta get niggas to rock Gotta go harder with every drop I'll be remembered like Biggie and Pac That be the
reason I
stay on my grind I
ain't wasting no time when I'm racing the
clock, yeah Hickory dickory dock This shit a
bippity bop If I
can see them as a
link Then I
know that I
gotta behave as the
watch Crank that shit up if only by a

got on the
line I
ain't wasting no time cause I'm racing the
clock, yeah
