I'm coming with concoctions off the top of the dome
Macaulay Culkin in my bedroom, yeah, I'm always alone
I talk with Spock and then it's off to robbing someone's belongings
Have ya cats be running outchea, watch ya doggin' the bone
Hop up onto the phone, I lock my thoughts in a poem
Cop a jet I'm poppin' off to the Galapagos on
Y'all been watching the throne, but when I'm dropping the zone
All the small-talk's stopping, got binoculars on
Have em flocking to the boxes, watching all the talking cease
Got the homie riding shotgun, I'm not talking bout the piece
Not to talk of peace and no, it's not a loose-leaf gimmick
But you gawk and squeak when I let off my loose piece in it
What is coming's more and more so, oh so very unpredictable
Humming as I grow and grow so scary, kinda fit it though
Buried alive in all the work, under pressure to go fit a mold
But I'm Clay to come and end you like the Packers in the Super Bowl
I'm not a man, I'm a business
See my name in all your mentions asking "who the hell is this?"
Well, I'm Aladdin, and I'm snatching y'all irrelevant wishes
Best bet's to pay attention, man, you don't wanna miss it
If I asked you what you want in life, would you reply?
Could you tell me why you stand out from that other guy?
& Not defend yourself and rant about the ways that you can justify
Your taking time off, while you know "ambition," it ain't just a drive
You're not unique from posting some pretentious on Twitter
You're not unique 'cause you're ignoring when your feelings are bitter
What's unique is when you know it, you don't gotta belittle
To boost your ego, and I'm watching like incentives for sitters
"Cash Rules Everything Around Me," yeah I guess it's kinda true
Most societal 'n' issues that's affecting me and you
The variance of opportunities, you're passing by or passing through
So I locked my circle, we devised a plan or two
Now y'all asking why I talk so much, don't follow the quota
'Cause I'm not trynna look on up until I'm there on the poster
I'm not making up the falsehoods why you're there on the sofa
Oh, you don't get it yet? Man, I thought I already told you
I'm not a man, I'm a business
See my name in all your mentions asking "who the hell is this?"
Well, I'm Aladdin, and I'm snatching y'all irrelevant wishes
Best bet's to pay attention, man, you don't wanna miss it
I said I'm not a man, I'm a business
See my name in all your mentions asking "who the hell is this?"
Well, I'm Aladdin, and I'm snatching y'all irrelevant wishes
Best bet's to pay attention, man, you don't wanna miss it
That's the thing, this isn't just a hobby
This isn't just some SoundCloud or Bandcamp throwaway shit
This is what we're doing every day
When I have my headphones in, I'm not just hearing the music, I'm listening
And I learn from others to form my own style
I market everything I've put out in a certain format
And everything I've worked on or put out has been planned in a way that makes sense to me
Like Shawn Carter said, "I'm not a businessman; I'm a business, man"
So, if you don't understand that, or don't believe me
Watch me for the next five years and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about
And before you try and come at me and say that numbers don't matter
Ask yourself where the skill lands, and think about what you're doing with your life
Versus what I am doing, and then remind me again about the numbers
