Primetime Lyrics by Ryan Oakes

2016

[Hook: Delaney Kai]

I come alive in the nighttime, I don’t know where to go
I think I need a lifeline, I’m way too far from home
Now the dreams feeling life like, I did this all alone
Nobody put me in the prime time, I’ll do it on my own

[Verse 1: Ryan Oakes]

Let’s get it
I’m wide awake, I ain't slept at least a couple weeks
I’ll tell you why, bitch i hide away, murking all these beats
Up in my spine, I can feel the way, the wind is pushing me
This shit is mine, kid I can’t complain, the people love to sleep
I had to go, do this all alone, I was living broke, in the zone
When nobody showed up to all the shows, had to soe
All the seeds and grow, I had to eat my own
Take control I was manifesting everything I know
Peep the glow
Bitch I know you noticed
Been on my shit, you know I’m focused
Living equipped that third eyes open
Killing these tripping rappers know this
Villain he’s spitting crack through opus
Finish these tracks and all them golden
I’m winning these bastards know I’m chosen
P-p-picked out by the universe, I'm sorry I don’t talk a lot I gotta be an introvert
I’m tryna fill this prophecy, I don’t get why the you concerned
They always quick to take a shot but don’t know how the Uzi work
Damn
Your mouths a weapon learn to use it first
Made ten thousand off a remix they’ll prolly sue me first
Next up are the venues boy you know the shows are stupid turnt
A side effect of spitting out the fire without Lucifer
Since day one, promised myself I'd never take no hand out
I been grinding every second since
Praying that I'd stand out
I’d be lying if I said that not a single person ran out
Its just me against the world and I ain’t scared to fight a man down bitch its Oakes

[Hook: Delaney Kai]

I come alive in the nighttime, I don’t know where to go
I think I need a lifeline, I’m way too far from home
Now the dreams feeling life like, I did this all alone
Nobody put me in the prime time, I’ll do it on my own

[Verse 2: Ryan Oakes]

Back in it, don’t take no breaks
I got way too much at steak
There's people hating us who snake
But we just learn and make mistakes
I knew that i could go and shape
The universe to work my way
And now i think the path is paved
For me to blow that's on my grave
This didn’t happen by no mistake
I just cut the breaks, didn’t fasten
The belt and prayed, I would be okay
I just imagined, it went my way
Now every single day
I wake laughing, I peep the bank
The kid is getting paid, all my shit crank
I just had to learn to work the ropes
G.O.A.T how they spell it but they all pronounce it Oakes
If I were you boy i wouldn’t embellish all your dreams and hopes
As long as I’m alive you’ll bet this relics gonna leave you broke
I shut it down and take control
Come at me with bullshit then I hope you’re down to rodeo
Taking all those shots i hope you brought enough to go reload
Miss me with all that I just ignore it on my own tempo
Abolish memento, kid I just go
I don’t check before I take a step
Expect the unexpected I’ve perfected stepping over death
By wrecking all these tracks all the rejection checked its older breath
Impressing leaving ya’ll per flexed is simple when you been the best
I don’t even gotta flex, the music speaking for itself
I don’t even gotta stress, all my emotions on the shelf
I know that I am always blessed, I don’t ever ask for help
Its me against the world and I ain’t ever scared to fight myself its Oakes

[Hook: Delaney Kai]

I come alive in the nighttime, I don’t know where to go
I think I need a lifeline, I’m way too far from home
Now the dreams feeling life like, I did this all alone
Nobody put me in the prime time, I’ll do it on my own
