zi - shortcut to fame lyrics
[verse 1: zi]
life is hard like a single mother raising sons
trying to change the system with a 16 i ain’t talking ‘bout a famous gun
but will i rise amongst the fakes and punks
i’m trying to be realest alive before i try to be the greatest one
but they don’t understand my plan so they question
why don’t you try to get a buzz in the states or someth’
i tell ‘em i was born and raised in paris so this is where the f-ck i’ma make it from
i’m in a race, a hunt
waiting to make the jump
and today is june first aka my favorite month
she told me no man ever made her c-m
if this is a challenge i would love to take up this one
but if at first i don’t succeed can i dust myself off and try again
i said if at first i don’t succeed can i dust myself off and try again
try again
[chorus: zi]
my mind is a war zone i’m trying to find the white flag
wanna make it but my soul doesn’t come with a price tag
and life’s a b-tch i write her love letters but she never writes back
baby do you like it like that
my mind is a war zone i’m trying to find the white flag
wanna make it but my soul doesn’t come with a price tag
and life’s a b-tch i write her love letters but she never writes back
baby do you like it like that
[verse 2: zi]
i’m trying to make you think positive when life is feeling h-rny
and remind you where you come from when the weather’s no longer stormy
always had a lot of respect for those who came before me
my brother told me if you wanna touch people tell stories
i value recognition more than glory
but will i change if i make it shortly
who knows what type of person i’ll be when i’m forty
and am i being hypocritical when i say
that money’s not the motivation but the icing on the cake
afraid to be misunderstood
‘cause i don’t really come from the burbs and i don’t really come from the hood
of course i welcome cash like most people would
but still i don’t think i’d buy this even if i could
i grab the mic and let the p-ssion speak
f-ck the haters hate is something that i’m sad to see
but still i listen listen i don’t rap for me
[chorus: zi]
my mind is a war zone i’m trying to find the white flag
wanna make it but my soul doesn’t come with a price tag
and life’s a b-tch i write her love letters but she never writes back
baby do you like it like that
my mind is a war zone i’m trying to find the white flag
wanna make it but my soul doesn’t come with a price tag
and life’s a b-tch i write her love letters but she never writes back
baby do you like it like that
[verse 3: zi]
i am my strongest challenger
living a double life i think i need a second calendar
i’m 25 feeling like i’m 38 this ain’t a metaphor for caliber
i’m on my way to success just give me loyalty and you can be a p-ssenger
life is a biaatch i ain’t really trying to flatter her
the more i grow the less i give a f-ck that’s why i’m smiling for
you did me wrong i won’t forget but i ain’t mad at ya
so many people won’t let the past go like attica
you see i woke up today
eager to start working but in this day and age
everybody’s looking for a shortcut to fame
didn’t break a sweat but want the whole f-cking thing
i’m sad for the next generation it’s a shame
all the things you dreamed of being but you never became
‘cause life’s a lot harder than the life they portray
[chorus: zi]
my mind is a war zone i’m trying to find the white flag
wanna make it but my soul doesn’t come with a price tag
and life’s a b-tch i write her love letters but she never writes back
baby do you like it like that
my mind is a war zone i’m trying to find the white flag
wanna make it but my soul doesn’t come with a price tag
and life’s a b-tch i write her love letters but she never writes back
baby do you like it like that
