sammus - success lyrics

chorus
i work hard for the money
harder for the fans
hardest for myself
and the artists that understand

success — is not given
unless you willing to grind
invest in your decision
to doing the things you like

verse 1
i started producing songs at the age of seventeen
when my brother put me on he taught me how to play with reason
and pretty soon i’m decent and i made a couple of tracks
i showed a few to like three friends and they told me that it was wack
these cats suggested i master
a different kind of approach
i could begin a new chapter
i said i’d give it a go
had an aversion to rappers
and all they big b-tt hoes
but ye converted me
after he made that chipmunk soul
so in my undergrad on my mac i began to sample things
flip a track on its back til its no resemb-a-lance
built a little catalogue i’m thinking that i’m better and
i dug it like a catacomb it took a while to get it that
my beats didn’t really show the best of me
i knew i had to switch up all the recipes
i invested cheese in the proper gear
spent a couple gs and a bunch of years
and those long days stressed out
like donde esta the next big fiesta
we next up

chorus

verse 2 (chance fischer)
tell sammus i’ll give ’em that work
been doing this sh-t since i was getting nursed
conceive a verse in my bedroom giving birth
when i let the flow break i was quenching their thirst
let me take it back to the randolph courts
where n-ggas had snakeskin all over their j’s
black durags all over their waves
with the cape screaming “hoes ain’t sh-t that we save”
in the hood, i was rapping like can-i-bus
but n-ggas weren’t feeling my flowin’
till i said i’d pull the mac out on all them n-ggas
leave a door bl–dy like it’s p-ssover
12-year-old drug dealing n-ggas wearing jordans
rapping about guns, weed smoke and extortion
all up on the corners and on n-ggas front porches
diamonds in the rough, flow wasn’t yet gorgeous
fast forward — i’m a junior in the ivy league
higher than them towers of ivory
picture me dying for an i-n-c
put the “i” in team and envisioned my dream
couldn’t match my hustle – 5 raps a day for three semesters
working on flows missing greek fiestas
sh-ttin’ on rappers when the beat digested
i invested money that i didn’t have
for something you’d have to see on the shoulder of a giant
my self-esteem must have been something like goliath
now the flow smooth and i’m something like poseidon
12 year old rappin’ in the midst of misguided youth
now i rap to inspire through
the words that i crafted in the vocal booth
that started as a youngin’ trying to show and prove

verse 3
when i started out flow wasn’t nice
i had to do a little research
now i’m good to go i’m back to life
like i’m celebrating easter
i’m hungry now got fork and knife
and i really wanna eat first
i practice hard i’m cold as ice
never listen in a t-shirt
i’d just be rappin in the camry
while i rode around the block
now i’m standing here commanding
every show i gotta to rock
i been to austin, brooklyn, houston, n-gga upstate
and i’m still cookin’ music you can just wait
i make plans around the clock
got an album that’s coming in the summer
first chance it get to drop
without a doubt it’s a bestseller
i had to find a crew that would invest in me incessently
even wonder woman had the blessings of the justice league
i found a place at that nublack
worked h-lla days to make moves
i produced tracks so major
made big waves like a durag
and i’m proof that it’s suicide
to take a break from the booth
that’s a sp-ce to make other crews ask
who’s next?
