For Now Lyrics by Nyk Cage

National Treasure

2016

[Intro: Nyk Cage]
Yeah. It's been a minute man
[Verse: Nyk Cage]
Yeah, it's all for a dollar
They can't deny your shine
When you polished
You done beat the odds but
You in debt from the knowledge
Jobs want experience but
You was stuck in college
See the irony?
But I'm persistent 'til
Penny pinching is obsolete
The struggle seems to activate hustle
And pull it out of me
The demons that I often defeat
Often repeat
They know it's good off the release
Top of the key
No cheese but this food for thought
Is all good to eat
Sayin' grace they like
"Young nigga preach"
Tabernacle. Rising higher
Like I was climbing
The Tower of Babel
They can't see me cause
They not on my channel
Hot as the summer
While rockin a flannel and
Walkin with candles
I dare you to challenge or
Climb up the ladder
Touch the sky and look down and
See the earth is the flattest
I'm awkwardly flattered
When they be like
"You nice with the rappin'"
It's just, when I zone out
I be hard to find like
J's when they sold out
For that big bag
I'll NBA hold out
Yeah, that's what we on the grind for
Packs movin gotta get that
Rent for the condo
Small flat rate with
Ten bands in a blindfold
Yeah, that's what we call faith
Send it up front and
I'mma get you all straight
My sister told me be careful
She know that I'm about
What I tell her
To make them ends meet
She know I'm down for whatever
My mind is too free to be
Locked in a cellar
I'm constantly propelling
Planning for the worst
While hoping for the better
We done heard it all dog
It's nothin you can tell us
I ain't tryna hear it
Whoever Mr. Right is
I ain't tryna be him
I just wanna buy stock and
Ride European
Arrive in Napa Valley and
Sip on sangrias
With my Guatemalan mija
She buzzin like a beehive
I'm rubbin on her be-hind
I deal with her attitude cause
She just want some me time
Don't get caught up in the web
This mission that we on
Ain't got no time for missing steps
Feelings don't get spared
I say whatever's on my chest
It's death before dishonor
That's tatted on my flesh
Don't dap me with the left
Say my name with respect
All t'ree of y'all
That fake love, I can't be around
I took the scenic route
If life is chess
I move the piece around
It started off odd but
It evened out
Now every time we meet
It's 'bout a steep amount
A few things I can't speak about (uh)
Now every time we meet
It's 'bout a steep amount
A few things I can't speak about
For now (uh, yeah)
[Outro: from the movie National Treasure]
"Just like that? Just like that? You do know you just handed me your biggest bargaining chip?"
"The Declaration of Independence is not a bargaining chip. Not to me."
"Let me see. So, what you offering?"
"Oh, how about a bribe? Say, uhh, ten billion dollars?"
