[Verse 1]
One for the money uh two for the show
Bouncer say I can't perform anymore and I am broke
I'm tryna turn dime into a single to a hundred write a single
Turn a rhyme into a jingle people love it
If I sing while I'm am spitting they will see me as a busta
But if the thing I do is rap and only rap I'm being punished
Take an elevator only place for me to go is up
And checking in my next event will be beginning on a summit
Plummet or something better that than nothing
If the housekeeper attend tip a 10 atop the covers
Silly in the end we go from friends to distant lovers
Predicted wins were coming so sick the men of color
Lime green wolves with the high beams on
While we ride dreams on where I write 3 songs
In a night we gone say in five we on
Spotlight hit me I say take flight keep strong
Eating good if I make time to eat
Skipping meals at diners be
Minding my own matter grind too hard creatings fires E
Rivalries with people who established not as live as me
Your fans becoming mine if they want talent not a minor league
Settle on a track I diss you back you are a defined to be
The deadest man in rap you better go and hide behind the beat
I'm better than the facts I am truth with personality
I'm scared of hitting back cuz all my hits have been fatalities
[Chorus]
Me and you, your mama and yo cousin too, selling out gigs and shows, elevator take me to the top floor
[Verse 2]
96 gone be that year, 95 already was
Was innate to making music and was cultivated to drugs
Never had to take that route seen victims didn't judge
But when the municipals said guilty give em 15 didn't budge
People downtalking my music but I never held a grudge
Cause they women at my shows givin my bros some groupie love
This elevator ride hotter than hell remade of fire
So ironic in ebonics said I'd never see the light
Now my movement is a chronic great I never came to plight
A succubus it is platonic fruits of labor favor ripe
So when I make it please pay homage, howl throughout the day and nights
Yelling CP city with me what is a king without the knights
Riverdale will be my home, gender male, and age is grown
90s baby with a song, elevated made it on
Who will be the greatest?
Wrong! Lying! Right here light years ahead with perfect timing. Buzz
[Chorus(2x)]
