shotty horroh - winners anthem lyrics
[intro x4]
talk about hunger
my stomach rumbles when i’m eatin’
[verse 1]
talk about hunger, my stomach rumbles when i’m eatin’
you can hear the struggle in me
pumpin’ through the speakers, i need this
comin’ from a slum that looks for jesus
but only sees his features on diamond-encrusted pieces
we live amongst a bunch of bloodsuckers and leeches
a number of crooked policemen and hookers with diseases
youngins pushin’ drugs, they need money for adidas
i’m just tryna make sure my niece amelia doesn’t see this
that’s why i changed my brethren
in connection to the street sh-t, ’cause peep it
you get judged by the company you keep, and i see this
now i only -ssociate with people who dream big
but not only dream, but turn those dreams to achievements
i remember when it rained and it leaked through the ceilin’
and to keep the carpet from soakin’
we’d throw a roll beneath it, and the heatin’ went
we were feelin’ colder than a freezer
i ain’t never doin’ that again, you know that’s the reason…
[hook]
i win, ’cause win is what a winner does
never had it easy, so believe me, i ain’t givin’ up
i look to the sky, dig my heels in the dirt
give it blood, sweat and tears
when it’s time to go to work
that’s why i win, ’cause win is what a winner does
never had it easy, so believe me, i ain’t givin’ up
i look to the sky, dig my heels in the dirt
give it blood, sweat and tears
when it’s time to go to work
[verse 2]
i never sleep, ’cause sleep is the cousin of death
i’m wide-awake, writin’ tapes at the foot of my bed
i’m billin’ zoots, fillin’ rooms with the puckerest peng
i’m in the booth, k!llin’ tunes, leavin’ puddles of sweat
i’m just doin’ what i’m doin’, i don’t look for respect
respect looks for me ’cause it looks for the best
youngin, get your notepad, study my steps
why you rappers standin’ around me
always lookin’ depressed?
’cause before shotty spat, you would f-ck up the set
spit a little 16 and a pull of the decks
i said, give me a second just to muster my breath
and they can hear the new shakespeare stood in the flesh”
now the fans blare their tapes to push through your checks
grab the one that’s labelled “shotty” and bust it instead
’cause i’m serious, this ain’t just a hustle for bread
this is me being elite, trust me when i said that…
[hook]
i win, ’cause win is what a winner does
never had it easy, so believe me, i ain’t givin’ up
i look to the sky, dig my heels in the dirt
give it blood, sweat and tears
when it’s time to go to work
that’s why i win, ’cause win is what a winner does
never had it easy, so believe me, i ain’t givin’ up
i look to the sky, dig my heels in the dirt
give it blood, sweat and tears
when it’s time to go to work
[verse 3]
this is to everybody that didn’t give me a chance
and now they’re takin’ pictures of me in my victory stance
liftin’ my hand, as if i was grippin’ a picket or flag
sayin’, “believe me, i’m achievin’ every mission i had!”
i ain’t been dreamin’, i’m foreseein’, i’m depictin’ a plan
choosin’ a route to pursuit through as i scribble the map
aye! all these fake spitters give me a dap, as they make sure the blade is big enough to stick in my back
i’m still pickin’ the scabs off the slits in my track
from the last time somebody showed me
there’s a b-tch in a man, but f-ck it!
i should’ve envisioned this sh-t in advance
humans’ll do some stupid sh-t if you just give ’em a chance
i ain’t mad, that’s the nature of the beast if you’re winnin’
then you’re eatin’ and then she’ll eat you for dinner
but i’m on this, lookin’ for a feast, nothin’ thinner
but when i peep in the mirror all i see is a winner
[hook]
i’ma win, ’cause win is what a winner does
never had it easy, so believe me, i ain’t givin’ up
i look to the sky, dig my heels in the dirt
give it blood, sweat and tears
when it’s time to go to work
that’s why i win, ’cause win is what a winner does
never had it easy, so believe me, i ain’t givin’ up
i look to the sky, dig my heels in the dirt
give it blood, sweat and tears
when it’s time to go to work
