Description
I made this instrumental over a year ago, and I had a difficult time coming up with the lyrics. I used mainly trumpets and trombones to get more of an old-time Dizzy Gillespie feel, which is a sound that has been absent in hip hop as of late. I feel the fast paced lyrics go well with drum patterns and cymbal crashes.
Lyrics
When I Speak to people In the game who been around a minute They insisting Push yaself out to the outer limits Stay authentic with ya feelings So I’m Never counterfeiting Keep indenting in the margin When you Writing down a sentence Ya Gotta Keep my head and neck in tact got me thinking straight And after every second pass I take advantage of the time Recognize and reckon that I’m Dreaming caviar I’m not waiting for the eggs to hatch Feel me I gotta say what I do I Try to Maximize my time I’m never daydreaming dude Because Life is interesting I got thangs to pursue And then I’m knowing in my head That they can Maybe come true But yo Often times our ambition leaves us broke and beaten I ain’t stopping Till my living standard’s most prestigious I’ma be residing in some real estate in coastal regions Try to interfere I’m Telling you its open season Make it in rapping? I know I’m Facing the facts when My Chances are slim Like someone placed them on Atkins I cant be distracted I intend to Achieve it Because The odds are all against me I befriended the evens Ya see I Try to fantasize Of how I’m going rags to riches I’ll achieve success And make it in the rapping business I don’t know the odds See I ain’t no mathematician Pro-ba-bly more likely Make a million off a scratching tickets Fuck it But this is possibly a warning then I’m Getting nervous And I’m feeling like my pores are sweatin’ Insecurity is gonna leave me Torn to shreds and How the odds are stacking up Is in a way a torture method Clming down yo I Gotta be more nonchalant With my Sweaty palms except my nervousness is calm-a flaughed Living in the fast Lane and this the Audubon life is moving faster than Islamic’s during Ramadan Comes to moving on Yo these people holding off seeming insecure Then they weigh the pro’s and cons You Looking at the Balance beam While Other shits unraveling Never satisfied Thinking that the grass is green.. Er up on the other side You Focus on the plasma screen Take initiative Instead of acting passively Mother fuckers catching z’s And Now you’re waking up Follow James And I’ma show you just the way it done There’s a formula See, you Get up off of ya Ass, mother fuckers Yo and now I’m finished warning ya When you gotta goal Know that it’s important tuh Be keeping on your grizzly On the daily Till the morning comes This is it And now You’re Following the guide that I’ve Put together For the people Working 9 to five Staying patient yo Until the day and time arrives Hope that my encouragement Revitalizes vital signs
