Lay Up Lyrics by LJ Jones

2023

[Intro]
Praise God
That change is coming
[Chorus: LJ Jones & Young 1 Jonah]
I've been really lackin', but that's all about to change up
Putting in the work and all my numbers going way up
I'm staying independent, I will never need a major
I'm getting to the bag, it almost feels just like a lay up
I'm breaking out the box again 'cause you cannot contain us
Point me to the money, I ain't looking to be famous
I'm looking to put in the work so I can be the greatest
Hard work and dedication, combination, it's a lay up
[Verse 1: LJ Jones & Young 1 Jonah]
I knew that I was special since Thomas Train and them sippy cups
Eating Dunkaroo's while my mom was rocking a pixie cut
I knew that I special back when I was crushing frozen cups
Your king act ran when you're brushed against the chosen one
YJ taught me game, can't be lame, gotta smarten up
Appreciate my dawgs, on my own this shit was hard enough
So thumbin' through the money get them paper cuts
Until you put your people on, you ain't really boss enough
Ain't nothing ever given in this life and that's a fact dawg
That's why I work my ass off, going harder then asphalt
'Cause I'm that hard, head and shoulders above bars
Stick to your TikTok, you don't wanna see me ticked off
[Chorus: LJ Jones & Young 1 Jonah]
I've been really lackin', but that's all about to change up
Putting in the work and all my numbers going way up
I'm staying independent, I will never need a major
I'm getting to the bag, it almost feels just like a lay up
I'm breaking out the box again 'cause you cannot contain us
Point me to the money, I ain't looking to be famous
I'm looking to put in the work so I can be the greatest
Hard work and dedication, combination, it's a lay up
[Verse 2: LJ Jones & Young 1 Jonah]
What's the budget? The first question that I ask
Easy does it, this a finger roll off the glass
Always plugged in, I ain't the one you gotta gas
I can dish it, I can take it, here's a no look pass
I'm starvin' but before my times up I'll make a mil
Eating like a vegan backsliding to the grill
I'm cheesin', addressing all this green, it's a thrill
I'm chiefin', still heard the beat and did a drill
Late nights and these early morning's working 'round the clock
Rappers treat it like a hobby, that's exactly what it's not
They're wanting PJ's and Yatch's but don't work it like a job
You don't respect the game so I'm coming for your spot
