Waldo - No Shortcuts lyrics
[Waldo - No Shortcuts lyrics]
Yeah, just like that, ugh
He who works like a slave, eats like a king
It was a simple choice
No college degrees, just knowledge it'self
True to my bean
Meditate when I wake from my sleep
Quite the routine
Watchin' my steps like they on the screen
Turn up the volume
My voice is meant to be heard like a scream
Broken silence
Stone Island on the patch of my jeans
Clothing designer but that's minor
Like under 18 2018 I took a leap of faith
And I showed them my wings
Like pigeons and planes
We was duckin' police
Cuffs? Cuffin' nothin'
We fuckin' the first night that we meet
My weekend girl thought I was bluffin' 'til
Monday morning I cut the corners
No shortcut on this journey
Ain't no hurry but we all wanna
Get rich in our 30's
The name hold weight, big Shirley
BIG said it best
It's life after death if you worthy, mercy
Mercy me
A lot has changed than what it used to be
I live through defeat, so I'm not defeated
I can't hear it, say it, or see it
Rise from ashes like phoenix
That chopper blast you to pieces
And that's all she wrote
When they resort to the violence
Like that's all they know
We respond like we been here before
We never choke
As our lungs inhale the smoke, I stay woke
Like insomnia to these niggas
That's fake woke
Swallow my pride, I got lots of it
I'm in my prime, call me Optimus
When it's my time, better monument
'Cause legends don't die i gotta
If I got the drop on the opps and them
These niggas fighting for oxygen
But, I never get tired, but I never get-
He who works like a slave, eats like a king
It was a simple choice
No college degrees, just knowledge it'self
True to my bean
Meditate when I wake from my sleep
Quite the routine
Watchin' my steps like they on the screen
Turn up the volume
My voice is meant to be heard like a scream
Broken silence
Stone Island on the patch of my jeans
Clothing designer but that's minor
Like under 18 2018 I took a leap of faith
And I showed them my wings
Like pigeons and planes
We was duckin' police
Cuffs? Cuffin' nothin'
We fuckin' the first night that we meet
My weekend girl thought I was bluffin' 'til
Monday morning I cut the corners
No shortcut on this journey
Ain't no hurry but we all wanna
Get rich in our 30's
The name hold weight, big Shirley
BIG said it best
It's life after death if you worthy, mercy
Mercy me
A lot has changed than what it used to be
