Iamrayjohn - Million (feat. Meta Sarmiento) Lyrics

I ain't a gangster no
I ain't no thug nah
But I grew up round homies that did that drugs yah
That heroin crack type
Using pens for meth pipes
Went back to that vill
Now they got on street lights
I ain't the type of guy to look for a fight
But shit i'll throw hands with a mother f'r
If i'm in the right
Once had to score me an oz
Roll it and flip it twice
Cuz some of these student loans were targeting me way after life
I'd love to hit the car lot
Drive out with what I wanted
Roam the street and flaunt it
People knowing that I bought it
It's all mine no car loan problem like that
It must be nice but shit I ain't got it like that
But someday maybe
When I get my life set right
Cuz anything is possible
When you write this nice
With a team on site
A career takes flight
My momma used to always tell me I was gon make it
I think she right

Dollar outta dimes
Took hard times
Penny to my name
Still I shine
No question I'm brilliant
Going for the million
A million

Dollar outta dimes
Took hard times
Penny to my name
Still I shine
No question I'm brilliant
Going for the million
A million

Been on a path to better things
But I lose my focus
Good things turned to wasted time
Got me feeling hopeless
Nothing but dead roses
Already at my lowest
My bad times are magic for lines
Like hocus pocus
I'm in the studio rocking hiphopping
How could Iamrayjohn be popping
When no new content be dropping
I'm just gon stop doubting myself
How you gon put me up when I'm the one thats downing myself
Clowning myself
All I've been through Is all just knowledge of self
I'm in the game rapping hoping that my art can bring wealth
If I spit this well, but nobody can tell
I'm trynna get my shit globally on a much larger scale
So oh well

Dollar outta dimes
Took hard times
Penny to my name
Still I shine
No question I'm brilliant
Going for the million
A million

Dollar outta dimes
Took hard times
Penny to my name
Still I shine
No question I'm brilliant
Going for the million
A million

Part time I work with felons
Know the system is gamed
I could never judge a homie
For mistakes that I made
I got lucky, never pinched
Told stayed on the outs
The G and scholar both alike
Believe what I been about
It ain't a question help the kids
And funnel money thru the street
Might be the center of the story but it's bigger than me
Don't belittle the dream, I been unique wit the scheme
I don't care for who's who or doin what in the scene
Not into jewels but I'm a gem right
Diamond in the limelight
Promised I'ma rise like the hands when its midnight
Takin my time they say I dream too much
I laugh it off and try to tell em you don't dream enough
How you think your role models
Ever got what they got what
I'm supposed to win without takin a shot?
What
Cookin up success without stirring the pot?
What
Recipe is simple dawg don't ever stop

Dollar outta dimes
Took hard times
Penny to my name
Still I shine
No question I'm brilliant
Going for the million
A million

Dollar outta dimes
Took hard times
Penny to my name
Still I shine
No question I'm brilliant
Going for the million
A million
