Project J Lyrics by Marinate

Black Oiler

2019

[Verse 1: Marinate]
Give ‘em less
It gon’ be more
If I said, I gave you my all
How you ignore?
If I don’t got the ball
How do I score?
What happens if I fall
And I hit the floor?
Man, I get up again
I score or charge
I put the F in effort
And I go far
Yea this a different kinda work
Yea a different kinda church
The purchase, is lurking
For certain, I’m hurting
In debt, and not working
Flirting with the idea
Of cursing the
Man for verses
Diverging purses
A version of a pissed off
Person possessed
By a sermon

Sometimes I wonder
If this is right
To take credit for
All I’ve done in this life
And then I realize
I gotta thank the past man
History of my own
And the ones that came last


[Verse 2: Marinate]
Bridges is burning
When money is earning
At least that’s what it seems
So I don’t
Trust anything wrapped in Gold
Cause I don’t know what it could mean
They say
Respect is a two-way
Street, actually
It’s only a two-way meet
See we both
Been traveling
On our own journey
Only thing guaranteed
Is that we moved our feet
See I don’t know if
Ya path was rocky
Along the way you don’t
Know if they tried to stop me
Or who they was, you don’t
Know if they still plotting
Or if by tomorrow our
Bodies goin' get rotten
Forget they, and move
A day at a time
Raise the bar
Cause be damn sure I’m raising mine
No waste no time
I don’t really pay no mind
Cause I can’t afford to
Gotta save and grind
Remember all they chitter chatter
About how you ain’t have it
Cause they were all getting
Silver platters
And yours was more like plastic
Well shooks babygirl
Life ain’t fair
Betta look forward
And wipe those tears
Cause sometimes it’s hard
To articulate
But sum from the pain
You just reciprocate
Puttin’ my grades in
For graduation
So after May I say
It’s gonna amazing
Hear how I play
My notes of expression
Hoping all y’all
Get the message

[Outro: Marinate]
Yea
Before it’s too late
Yea
Before it’s today

Ugh
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
