Jett Rodgers - Envy

Wish I had that cash
Through a gash a cut a rash
I still rise through the ash
Still wish I had that stash

Wish I had that car
Wish I was on par
With the legends and the stars
Wish there's no pandemic when I enter in that bar
On my nineteenth
Birthday
Wish for drip I'm thirsty
Droughts of life still hurt me
Rap over trap but I ain't trendy
That is why I envy
All those rappers with talent and luck
Plenty of flashy trashy spitters who Don't give a fuck
If their shit is good or not
Ya I know my shit is hot
But there's less fans than I thought
Bitter bars with Bics I jot
Wear my stripes and take my shots
Being compared to those I envy pulls my stomach in knots

All these witch doctors and sweet talkers can't mend me
Of this omni present condescending thing called envy
While they're succeeding and leading who defends me
From this omni present condescending thing called envy

Wish I had that tour bus
We've only broken the crust
I'll never have enough
Me and envy cuffed
Wish I had that tour bus
We've only broken the crust
I'll never have enough
Me and envy cuffed

Take that leap of faith
Cut the caution tape
If you want a legacy that holds any kind of weight
Wish I had achievements that I could celebrate
Trophies used to decorate
I know awards will not give any change of state
The progress is what resonates
The journey's what authenticates
The destination coincides with acclamation
I envy that whole situation
Rap will still be my vocation
It never goes clean no life is really dirt proof
Even if you lose your sins you will not gain virtue
Coping with this information is what you've gotta learn too
All those skeletons in your closet you've got to search through
You've got to search through

All these witch doctors and sweet talkers can't mend me
Of this omni present condescending thing called envy
While they're succeeding and leading who defends me
From this omni present condescending thing called envy
All these witch doctors and sweet talkers can't mend me
Of this omni present condescending thing called envy
While they're succeeding and leading who defends me
From this omni present condescending thing called envy
