$5.37 (cig break) Lyrics by Emmitt James

cigarettes, porn, & lotto tix

2017

[Intro]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(And you don't stop)
Hey
(And you won't stop)
Hey
(And you don't stop)
[Verse 1]
Motherfuck mediocrity
And that's a hard bar for all those has-been and probablys
My whole life's an odyssey
Legacy to leave, Mama, I can see my Pop in me
Started with the stands as if I dare to speak it honestly
I'm 24 and try'na get my paper right
I'm just try'na stay alive, shorty try'na stay the night
I guess I'm back with the shits
I'm a genius with the couplets don't you ever forget
Pete
And I ain't never wrote one poem
King David with the wit that's why they quote my songs
Feels
I live life like my granny's watching
Money didn't make me the lack if it can't stop me
I can't quit now, I worked too hard
Another day, another dollar, that explains the three jobs
Work hard, stay humble, plus, I know I need God
And that's just my belief, dawg
So
I play a show, they say I'm next
And, I mean, with all respect
Mama still in the hood
Kamayla ain't stable yet
I'll do indy, baby, I don't need a label check
I was born out the box and they just can't label this
Call it sublime ubiquity
Put my soul on the track, my girl can have what's left of me
Call it sublime ubiquity
Put my soul on the track, my girl can have what's left of me
Feels
