LYRICS
Good morning!
This that alarm clock song.
I made it for you to wake up to.
Ah, you know I came to rip the scene apart.
My whole life is a piece of art.
Oh, and this is just a brushstroke.
Oh, I made it in the biz they said was cutthroat
Oh, I'm gettin' where I wanna be.
But honestly, I can't even tell if that's really where I wanna be.
I'm not a commodity.
I am on an odyssey.
Used to be a wannabe,
Now I'm what I wanted to be. (Woo!)
I'm an underdog, dog, I'm Ralph Nader-ing.
Following my intuition now and that's a major win.
I'm Taylor Swift, mixed with Ruth Bader Gins.
Liberation is the flavor that I'm savorin' (it's mmm).
Fake breasts and makeup, they don't turn me on.
Life is a game and, yes, the journey's long.
Growin' my beard was just like me putting my jersey on.
Coach K saw the light in me early on.
Ooh (oh you don't believe).
[Coach K]
Mike Posner, boy is he talented. I mean…
[Mike Posner]
That's from ‘08.
[Coach K]
Yeah, he is so talented.
[Mike Posner]
What up, Nolan! Jon go get 'em! Woo!
We 'bout to take it to a new level.
Even when I'm sad I give 'em hell, I'm a Blue Devil.
Her boyfriend wrote a book; I was unimpressed.
I don't care about her man if it wasn't Hesse (oh).
I might do Everest, you never know (oh).
And change is like a metronome (oh).
I never read The Untethered Soul.
I already got an untethered soul.
I wasted years trying to become better known.
Right when I gave that up is when I became better known.
Oh this is that Michigan December flow.
I got two lifetimes worth of ideas in my Evernote (oh).
Old soul, Fender Rhodes.
Complemented outwardly now for my inner glow.
And since I've seen,
I changed my look to see who really loves me.
I'm Prince Akeem.
[Wiz Khalifa]
See when I was coming up, I was always one of them niggas who did what the fuck I want.
Smokin’ weed on TV wasn’t even cool. Now that shit legal.
So back then, from causing trouble to right now, I’m a muhfuckin’ businessman.
Hahahaha, uh.
Too rich to ever fit in; you wait in front, I get in.
You talk too much, I listen.
You blind, I got the vision.
The day I work for myself, that was the best decision.
You livin’ check to check, I check to see what checks I’m gettin’.
You get no respect until respect is given.
I live with no regret, you regret where you livin’.
Still got the yellow card, we in the house chillin’.
You think the air is on, I’m heir to the throne.
So many diamonds, people stare when I put ‘em on.
But they don’t walk up, my pockets thick like Mrs. Parker.
And I got the Benz parked sparkin’ up.
And I got a 6’4 that’s hard as fuck.
But don’t get in over your head;
Supposed to be stackin’ instead of spending most of your bread.
Don’t get in over your head;
Supposed to be stackin’ instead of spending most of your bread.
