The Jet Age of Tomorrow, Mike G - Asia lyrics
[The Jet Age of Tomorrow, Mike G - Asia lyrics]
This earth told me to hold my ground
My music showed me nobody can match my sound
Mos Def said if it's something
You can change around then keep quiet
You got nothing to complain about
Now, I told you I would hold you down
I told you that we were
Kings and queens uncrowned
Too hard to break down, you were too compound
Though at times you feel I wish
That they could see me now
I won't feel like I made it
Until my maids work grave shifts
Paint this, honest, with a flow so heinous
Dreams will land you further than
Any promise could take us
And everything now is documentation
Just wait
You'll see gain when the pace gets made
Nothing's rewarded for loitering but
Patience gets paid
They'll tell you that time is money
And that's fact
If you're lucky you'll get more minutes
But not the same ones back
So hold the 99 problems cause
I'd rather have none
Never know who might come
And you'll need new shoes when
The blues get sung and some for when you run
Cause you should be right behind
If not already number 1, uh
They're a star, you're a sun
Just bigger but by far
Without you everyone's world would stay dark
There's no need to listen to
The others when they talk
You're brighter than they are
You're needed when days start
You ask how you reach the top when
They don't give you a shot
But you have no reason to stop to
Say a failure's what I'm not
And people around me, they say that I'm crazy
But I do what I gotta do to
Get to where I wanna be
Cause you're just like me
I know you know what you're worth
And you can't brag about the
Things that you don't deserve
It's a cold world
You must know the correct way to spell it
And people will use things according
To how you sell it
You're expected to know no one will warn you
If you're not willing to do something
No one should do it for you
Pay attention closely
It's not difficult to see
I'm way ahead of everything
Leave everything up to me
My music showed me nobody can match my sound
Mos Def said if it's something
You can change around then keep quiet
You got nothing to complain about
Now, I told you I would hold you down
I told you that we were
Kings and queens uncrowned
Too hard to break down, you were too compound
Though at times you feel I wish
That they could see me now
I won't feel like I made it
Until my maids work grave shifts
Paint this, honest, with a flow so heinous
Dreams will land you further than
Any promise could take us
And everything now is documentation
Just wait
You'll see gain when the pace gets made
Nothing's rewarded for loitering but
Patience gets paid
They'll tell you that time is money
And that's fact
If you're lucky you'll get more minutes
But not the same ones back
So hold the 99 problems cause
I'd rather have none
Never know who might come
And you'll need new shoes when
The blues get sung and some for when you run
