lyrics

I wanna be my own boss cuz ain't nobody's ass I'm kissin
At 22 decided to become a jazz musician
People laugh and some are concerned that I'm making a bad decision
But I'ma continue to rap these writtens
With mad precision
Just like a mathematician
Or like the architect who went and built the Sistine chapel building
I’m not a violent guy but it's the opposite of pacifism
If you're messin with this cash I'm gettin
Or gonna get
Hasn't come in yet
Waiting on a couple checks
Until then I'm making big noises like I'm thunderous
Had some bad habits but I recently laid some to rest
In the name of progress if I'm being honest fuck depression
Got a girl who's teaching me a couple lessons
Through the power of loves effect
I can't resist her when I see her in her summer dress
Grab her by the waist pull her close so I can kiss her neck
Treat her like she royalty
Like a goddess or a queen
Keeping me fresh like she's Oral B
Don't care if it is corny
just gotta give her something that she is sure to see
To prove that I love her to the core of me
Constantly bring her up in conversation
Or in verses
Beautiful in pictures even more in person
Pardon me for getting lovey dovey
I'm just happy and a lucky ducky
Count your blessings

Count Your Blessings

There ain’t much I care about
Just my friends, my fam, my girl and this music that I'm blaring loud
Hardly had my parents ‘round
They never cared about my whereabouts
Or care about where I'm now
But hey, such is life
Kinda makes me wonder what is up with Christ
And why the world’s so ugly when he made it in his image
Yo heaven must be nice
Man I thought about it once or twice
But I ain’t thinking much of it
Cuz I don’t wanna get gassed up or dutch-ovened
My heart wants to believe but my gut doesn’t
Maybe I just need to love something
Which I do
My friends, my fam, my music, my girl
There’s so much to be grateful for in this world
That I don’t even wanna leave
Not yet at least
And if I left I don’t think that I could Rest In Peace
Cuz there’s so much to do so much to see
So what’s wrong with taking the back streets?
Wait?
That’s Smash Mouth’s “All Star” flow
Yo
What the fuck I’m thinking ‘bout that for?
I don’t know
Anyway I’m just trying to get to center stage
And getting paid
It’s not about the money
But when rent is late
And you’re ending days with nothing on your dinner plate
Now you’re left starving
Man it’s hard not to get enraged
But I try to stay on the bright side
Cuz I know this pain won’t last a lifetime
So when life hands you lemonade
Go ahead and drink it it’s already made
Count your blessings
