Lined Up Lyrics by John River

The Academy

2019

[Verse 1]
I finally made it to the top and I’m never coming down
Lot of niggas couldn’t build it, now they tryna tear it down Heard you say you run the town, I must not've been around When it's beef, and I see you though you never make a sound
In the streets, you not credible you never weighed a pound
I’m a beast it’s incredible the way I lay it down
Let me give you some advice, if a nigga say he found
A rapper better than the river nigga never wait around
Yeah, come on boy, as if that existed
You got a better chance of Muslims celebrating Christmas
And writing down they wish list, and asking for a bible
Look how my flow is vicious, wouldn’t wish this on my rival
Equipped it for survival, was gifted on arrival
God planned me way back, like the liquid in your spinal
Was down at Lower Merion, they told me I was arrogant
I know I’m not American, but bitch I’m still an Idol
Everything I spit is vital, couldn’t stick with my recital
Serving niggas like a waiter and they tip me like an Eiffel
Lotta niggas getting spiteful, Larsen Pippen with the trifle Fucked your girl to Apple music she said you ain’t have a Tidal Ayy I guess you shoulda signed up
Instead you still screaming that they shouldn’t sign us
Now we far ahead like you couldn’t find us
Blake Griffin with the clippin’ boy I got it lined up

[Chorus]
Praise God but you've been missing
Hey ma how you been living?
I got what you were given
To change how you been living

And I got it lined up
And I got it lined up
And I got it lined up
And I got it lined up

[Verse 2]
Hey Look I’m hearing all the talking and honestly I’m flattered
The thing about Toronto you know niggas love to chatter
You’ll never make it out the city, R&B’s the only ladder
Well when you're this good nigga I guess it doesn’t fucking matter
Big John River young nigga get familiar
Let’s Save Let’s Save La Familia
Sick young bloke with whom you don’t want smoke cause
Like the cigarette box says nigga that’ll kill ya
Bars a burn ya, flows will chill ya
And nigga if you don’t feel me?
Fuck it, I don’t feel ya
The tortoise taught me not to rush
You know the problem with you niggas? Yup you talk too much Left my city with a dream thinking I could go far
When you broke as a bitch and your car won’t start
Told my niggas getting rich though is why we signed up
And I’m shooting for the stars bitch I got em lined up

[Chorus x2]
Praise God but you've been missing
Hey ma how you been living?
I got what you were given
To change how you been living

And I got it lined up
And I got it lined up
And I got it lined up
And I got it lined up
