F8 Lyrics by Pres

A Cautionary Tale

2021

[Pre-Chorus]
What you do at night determines fate
So I chose to spend my 8 awake
Snapping on 808s ain’t a hobby
I’m just trynna make it my job today

[Chorus]
Guess I ain’t getting no sleep tonight
I’m just trynna live my dream and I’m
Giving up my 8 hours for the long term
‘Cause I’m beyond sure that I am the king, that’s right
Guess I ain’t getting no sleep tonight
I’m just trynna live my dream and I’m
Giving up my 8 hours for the long term
‘Cause I’m beyond sure that I am the king, that’s right

[Verse 1]
4 hours of sleep is all I need
Gotta use the rest to go chase my dreams
Ask the top dogs that are making “Bs”
Bet they don’t spend a third of life asleep
And when you ain’t sleeping at night you at a party
I could never understand, I been working hardly
For a vision and a fan base as strong as the army
Y’all are working zombies, that’s why I been working smartly
Everybody miserable, but I don’t got no sympathy
Gave up on their goals because they ain’t have the dignity
I am wired differently, I’ll make it in this industry
I’m honestly the prodigy I thought I’d be in infancy

[Pre-Chorus]
What you do at night determines fate
So I chose to spend my 8 awake
Snapping on 808s ain’t a hobby
I’m just trynna make it my job today

[Chorus]
Guess I ain’t getting no sleep tonight
I’m just trynna live my dream and I’m
Giving up my 8 hours for the long term
‘Cause I’m beyond sure that I am the king, that’s right
Guess I ain’t getting no sleep tonight
I’m just trynna live my dream and I’m
Giving up my 8 hours for the long term
‘Cause I’m beyond sure that I am the king, that’s right

[Verse 2]
Every single song make your head nod
If it ain’t doing that, then I guess I’m heading out
Only spitting heat like I eat Red Hots
I’m winning the game who else is you betting on
‘Cause I’m the only one that’s confident, that knows he gon’ be prominent
And that is why I had to speak up
Ain’t nobody else as competent, I’m promising I’m dominant
So who this lil boy you speak of
Coming for your head top, think you gonna step up
But I think you best not
Making so much music that I’m starting to get stressed out
Really hoping none of these hits getting left out the tape

[Pre-Chorus]
What you do at night determines fate
So I chose to spend my 8 awake
Snapping on 808s ain’t a hobby
I’m just trynna make it my job today

[Chorus]
Guess I ain’t getting no sleep tonight
I’m just trynna live my dream and I’m
Giving up my 8 hours for the long term
‘Cause I’m beyond sure that I am the king, that’s right
Guess I ain’t getting no sleep tonight
I’m just trynna live my dream and I’m
Giving up my 8 hours for the long term
‘Cause I’m beyond sure that I am the king, that’s right
