lyrics

Hook:

I been living off a dollar and a dream
Working schemes up in my head ta try and reach up to the top floor
I can’t seem ta focus on a single thing, I’m too dazed in my delusion, is some peace too much ta ask for
Yeah this microphone my weapon, let it sing
I refuse ta give into the pressure, promise Ima stand tall
I been living off a dollar and a dream
I’m gon' crown myself the king when I go reach up to the top floor


Verse 1:

The question is are you worthy
Think I am, but I ain’t perfect
In my own lane swerving
I handle my business like Irving
An all star, yeah I’m all set
Pay no mind ta they comments
Doing me, that’s my concept
S’why’I bet my chips, yeah I’m all in
All dressed with the sauce
Everything got a cost
Everything got a gain
But everything got a loss
Gotta picture ‘fore you frame it
Else you’ll be doing the same thing
Something that you cannot maintain
I planted this seed in my mind-
Long before realizing now i just can’t change


Hook:

I been living off a dollar and a dream
Working schemes up in my head ta try and reach up to the top floor
I can’t seem ta focus on a single thing, I’m too dazed in my delusion, is some peace too much ta ask for
Yeah this microphone my weapon, let it sing
I refuse ta give into the pressure, promise Ima stand tall
I been living off a dollar and a dream
I’m gon' crown myself the king when I go reach up to the top floor


Bridge:

Spent my evening getting elevated
But with every passing minute I been wondering if I’ll ever make it
Staring at the ceiling meditating
Gotta get my ass up out this situation because times a-wasting

Verse 2:

Glued ta my chair
Mist in the air
Feeling Impaired
I just been looking off into the distance
Ta bring to fruition what I had declared
But see progression is slow
Life been on hold
All of the bullshit is taking a toll
Ever just ask yourself once in a while, like man why am I walking this road?
Can’t let that doubt manifest and invade ya psyche
Never know maybe lil hope’s what you might need
I must confess
That ain’t the best
At accepting the past
But I’m tryna work it out
Bridges I burned some down
Time ta go turn this round
Man it ain’t ever too late-
Ta recalibrate
So pick yourself up off the ground
Go getchyo crown


Hook:

I been living off a dollar and a dream
Working schemes up in my head ta try and reach up to the top floor
I can’t seem ta focus on a single thing, I’m too dazed in my delusion, is some peace too much ta ask for
Yeah this microphone my weapon, let it sing
I refuse ta give into the pressure, promise Ima stand tall
I been living off a dollar and a dream
I’m gon' crown myself the king when I go reach up to the top floor
