lyrics

Verse 1:

I wrote this in my apartment without a couch/
Tenants see tattoos, try kick me out/
If I don't pay the rent then I'd probably bounce/
Overseas to Wall Street, I could make it count/

And it could be my time (I can feel it)
Tell mum quit her job, she about to see me shine/
I'm seeing city lights, see it in her eyes/
Wall Street or not, this city is our life/

(Well I remember) nobody would applaud/
Act like we mean it, drunk party talk/
Try to be a genius, what am I believing?/
No matter my response, say I'm fucking dreaming/

And I'm just getting by/ (I can feel it)
My parents did that, I saw my father try/
I never saw him cry when we couldn't pay rent/
Of course I gotta shine, what do you expect?!/

Dad said life's is a bitch, nothing here for free/
Now I just go, take what I need/
Middle fingers in the air if you know just what I mean/
Middle fingers in the air if you're hungry for that green/ 

I think somebody lied (I can feel it)
Rappers sell they're soul, purely to survive/
Get mum a house, she'll never have to worry/
A rolex and a driver, she'll never have to hurry/

(Well I remember) missed opportunities/
Rappers getting signed, Labels overlooking me/
A rapper never liked me, I wasn't quick to judge/
I just played it cool, I didn't know who he was/

Somebody said I'm winning/ (I can feel it) 
That's probably why I'm different, I enjoy competition/
They don't see the vision, if so let 'em be/
They said I won't succeed, but if so let 'em see, Wall Street/

And I can feel it in the air tonight/
So let 'em know that it's my time/

And I been waiting for my whole life/
So don't tell me that it's alright/

(Repeat)

Just keep doing what you're doing and it should all fall into place
