Jake James - Intro

The world is yours
But you gotta grind to get it
We had the odds against us
Make it here make it anywhere
I been eye to eye with the heavy hitters
Multi when I die
For the quarter I run up a quarter million
In the gutter I hoped for a better living
And by 20 I managed a couple billion
I ain’t ever look up to a role model
Tell the waiter bring gold bottles
The view different at the top floor
But I stayed down from the rock bottom
Pay me in equity
Wall Street money like this was the 70’s
City to city it’s hard to get next to me
Just shook hands with T.I.P. said he wishing the best for me
Heard that’s your latest but that ain’t impressing me
They bout as big as they’ll ever be
Money my only religion respectfully
I thank the hunger it gave me my energy
Had no sleep for days
To see these heights forever I prayed
I got expensive taste
And dreams worth more than the money I chase
I spent the wintertime on the West Side and
the summertime in estates
New York time side where the crime side might remembered my family name
Took her to Prime she want steak
Been in the Benz’s I need a Wraith
Devil been calling he need a billion by Sunday I gotta get it in place
I did it again did it again
Where most would fold, I took my wins
How’d my circle get so small
I lost my trust let no one in
Left out my city to run up some commas and they wanna act like
this wasn’t the plan from the start
I cut her off with a ten if I leave her with nothing, I’ll tear her apart
I’m on the come up and ain’t no one stopping me please get the fuck of the property
Fed up with telling it modesty
Take no apologies
Honestly bitch I’m prodigy
Still independent cause that’s how it gotta be
This life is game Monopoly
Pay me in full I became commodity
Only the family the policy
My father gripping for his life
We lived housing by the state
Too many killers out at night
I had to move him out the way
I might touch down in my hometown just to see how life changed
They say there really is a wolf
and he got some hunger here to stay
