Wealth Lyrics by Jason Nkanga

The Calm Before The Storm

2018

(Intro)
This my life on a paper
Yeah
This ain't no hobby
This my fucking job
Yeah
Yeah
(Verse 1)
I woke up, realised I need the full thing
(Okayy)
All my life I got the half plate
Of whatever been just passed around
Idols speak
I note it down
Started working time and time
And selling what I had around
Move up on my music goals
Paid the price
We on our toes
Starving every week
Dedicated
What you know bout those?
Hustled for my spot
Through the critics and the politics
I was only ten
I decided, had to go in quick
Working on the confidence i built within a couple years
Through the pain and struggle had to persevere
Had to put in extra
Just to kick it up a little notch
Only few days later
Can't believe it
My life’s almost up
Conversate with God
Got a second chance to live it good
Hit and run
Never thought i’ll live again like how i should
Everything happens for a reason
Cause that very second
Had me here believing
I was kept on earth for greatness
Hold up
(Chorus)
Yeah
This the life, I didn’t get to choose
Well this the game, we gon never lose
I wrote this story, nigga it ain’t write itself
I put in extra hardworking in exchange for wealth
This the life, I didn’t get to choose
Well this the game, we gon never lose
I wrote this story, nigga it ain’t write itself
I put in extra hardworking in exchange for wealth
Verse 2- Jason Nkanga
Yeah
Late night, we just stayed up working
Neighbours knocking on the door
Say we disturbing
I gotta get the bread
Damn it, any means
Kicked out, but still the boy up on your tv screens
Damn I made it further than all who told me i won’t succeed
Couple of them ones i respected turned down the little kid
Shit that made me stronger
Now look how far that same nigga came
Rose with the hits
Underatted now thats a goddamn shame
Y’all, Y’all must have thought i was playing
I mean
Fuck
(Yeah)
Rose with the hits underrated
Now thats a godamn shame
(Chorus)
Yeah
This the life, i didn’t get to choose
Well this the game, we gon never lose
I wrote this story, nigga it ain’t write itself
I put in extra hardworking in exchange for wealth
This the life, i didn’t get to choose
Well this the game, we gon never lose
I wrote this story, nigga it ain’t write itself
I put in extra hardworking in exchange for wealth
Yeah
This the life, i didn’t get to choose
Well this the game, we gon never lose
I wrote this story, nigga it ain’t write itself
I put in extra hardworking in exchange for wealth
This the life, i didn’t get to choose
Well this the game, we gon never lose
I wrote this story, nigga it ain’t write itself
I put in extra hardworking in exchange for wealth
(Outro- Biggie)
And at the same time
You gotta watch your money
Theres so much funny shit in this game where a man can play with your money
And you won’t even know
I mean
As soon as i got in the game
I got a lawyer to watch my lawyer
Thats just the way it supposed to be played
Cause
I speak to niggas
I speak to niggas that got money in the game and
They let me know
“Yo dawg, its a dog eat dog world”
Niggas is tryna get as much as they can
