demko – priorities lyrics

[verse 1]
there ain’t enough time in the day to be giving my hours away
to be stressing ’bout pleasing a customer ‘stead of a listener
making the minimum pay, i don’t have to obey
and i wish i could flee like a stray but i gotta put food on the plate
so i guess that the music can wait, thinking no one will f+ck with the things that i say
and i think it’s controlling me
and i’m sick of my day jobs, always taking my time and my energy
then make me guilty for time that i take off, like i’m ruined if i’ma get laid off
but this sh+t only temporary, and the stress isn’t necessary
one day i’ll be the boss with a view and a couple of secretaries
and they’ll do what they want cuz like, they got priorities
[chorus]
i got priorities
i know the people that’s lifting me up and the people ignoring me
i know my mentors, and i see the elders abusing authority
and that’s the majority, most of em faking, acting chummy
but they got all of this time they’re wanting from me
but i got priorities
i see the people who comment online but ain’t been at the shows
i see the people that’s bumping my heat, and the people who froze
and you don’t always know, but i know that they found me
so i been making boundaries, yeah
and i got priorities

[verse 2]
in stock, i been getting in shape, call it tip top
i been taking my evenings to spend with the love of my life while y’all just want your tip topped
but i still make it clap like a flip flop, bout to lift off, even without the views from a tiktok
got ‘em waving their hands like a wrist watch, tell ‘em just watch
but still i got some homies that ask for an hour, or 2 or 3
but they don’t take 3 minutes for my new release, and i ain’t tryna be so greedy with my time
but i gotta grind, and there isn’t much that you do for me
cuz i been needing moral support and some champions
people that are backing me up, but your penalties are backing me up
so buddy i love you, but sorry you’re really just not my priority

[chorus]
i got priorities
i know the people that’s lifting me up and the people ignoring me
i know my mentors, and i see the elders abusing authority
and that’s the majority, most of em faking, acting chummy
but they got all of this time they’re wanting from me
but+
[verse 3]
they all had to go ’cause i’m back and i know who i have to be
i gotta write till i rap me a masterpiece
i won’t quit, that sh+t’s a catastrophe
i’ll buy a house big enough to fit the family
with a pool and a yard and a view of the stars
and they ooh and they ahh when they walk in
like you sold a couple raps and you bought this?
got a couple more in la and boston
i live my life for the fam, for my father and mother
got homies as close as my brothers and brothers as close as the heart in my chest
and got sisters i swear i will love and protect on god
i know that this life can be hard, but don’t be scared, and all of your troubles should beware
cuz i’ll drop what i’m doing and be there cuz you’re my priority
