NICKELUS F]
Yo I wake up every mornin shower gather ma belongings
Yo I wake up every mornin shower gather my belongings
Head to work, stop, get some breakfast cuz

From tha night befo'
At the club

Only 22 ma nig

Yo I wake up every mornin shower gather my belongings
Head to work, stop, get some breakfast cuz
still a nigga yawnin
From tha night befo'
At the club
I was up
I'm tryna live
Only 22 ma nig
Bout ta be 23 ya dig
Time don't wait for nunna us
thas why I gotta chase my dreams
Make ma mama proud
so she can show of all her pearly teeth
And be half the man ma dad was
I think God he was in my life
I realized how many DJs rhyme wit beef inside
Either I, needa make dis music work, Or move off the Earth
I'm preachin fire, needa choir, bouta take u all to church
Ma congregation bombed da nation wit dis Hip Hop
We in tha race, ma fame blowin past da pit stops
I heard da prize was some chicks and a wrist watch
And all yaw gotta do is go to jail or get shot!
Yea, Nick I be, neva get popped
How we gonna get pop fans? give 'em a quick shot
Now I get ya chick hot wit ma wrist watch
Yea shawty drip drop when da tick tock
Itz kinda sick huh?
Ay Drake, put a end to all da bickerin
and tell dem niggaz dis is NICK spot
They don't keep it fresh enough I got it ziplocked
Saran wrap, anthrax, itz kinda sick huh?
I'm hot as fire wanna put me out wit piss huh?
Reach to do it and realized his dick stuck

[CHORUS]
It ain't as easy as it looks
We go thru some shit
You cut us a check
Then we go thru some hits
And you show us respect
Den we'll say you legit
And dis is da life dat I lead from AM to PM

I'm tryna get dat cash
Den watch how tall it grows
Soon as we get da ass
We start callin em hoes
The concept u don't grasp
I'm guess you too old
and dis is da life dat I lead from AM to PM

[DRAKE]
Ayyo I stay up every evenin write dat shit dat dey believe in
DJs run and they approach me and it's praise I be receivin
From da night befo
At tha club
Fake ID, ma record spin
Got me dancin right outside
since these niggas won't let me in
Well guess again
Slip around da back and get it crackin
All tha bottles wrapped in cellophane
And party where da best have been
100 Grand, Nickel F
Dat nigga's da next to win
Virginia gon rep for him
And Memphis represent for me
To da 10th degree
Tennekee, T dot to da Country yall
Orange Manor, White Haven
and back up north to Montreal
I ain't ashamed
Ma City ain't on da map
People get a little bit'a light dat fire
Realize dey ain't wanna rap
So they give it up and they pass that torch
Sell they soul
For enough dough to give Cash and Storch
Maybe it'll bring they career back
But these niggas right here ain't tryna heard that
Cuz i'm on set, Nick @ work
Break even on 9-to-5
Cigarettes and Lotto tickets, tryna keep that grind alive
All ma uncles, they hit the casinos when they get they check
Ma cousins, they paint they slabz and pop pistols
to get respect
This can't be life
Dominos and chiefin dro and 20 stacks
Single mothers phonin Cheaters
just to get they honeys back
Purple drink and trips Kroger just to get they Money stacks
Rest in peace to Skummy, this reality not funny rap
You think itz funny til these (iono WHAT he's sayin)
pull da jackrabbit out
And get da screamin WHERE DA MONEY AT!

[CHORUS]
It ain't as easy as it looks
We go thru some shit
You cut us a check
Then we go thru some hits
And you show us respect
Den we'll say you legit
And dis is da life dat I lead from AM to PM

I'm tryna get dat cash
Den watch how tall it grows
Soon as we get da ass
We start callin em hoes
The concept u don't grasp
