"Make It (Daily Duppy)" lyrics
And this one's make it, maintain it, my pen game is stainless
I emptied the cartridge, left shells on nuff stages
My wages were paid in full, came up like Ace did
From faithless to biblical, damn, it's contagious
When a real one from the streets copes from peddling favours
They're like, "How'd he get so famous?", ask the newspapers
Stayed away from majors, this shit ain't for sale
Fuck the sharks, I just point my harpoon at their faces
Highs and the lows, I took blood from the stone
Built the blueprint but there's no colour on independence
Fresh off the roads, every story I wrote's like a movie
Too many syllables in my sentence
In A&E, I tore the wires off, I needed vengeance
My enemies, I left 'em kneeling, praying for repentance
I was revving my engine, looking for attention
Lamborghini dreaming, had my city on the fence
And now you're listening to a chosen one, no point pretending
I was holding onto my sanity, damn, I need it cleansing
When the devil wants your soul, them infiltrators get sent in
I'm crying to the Lord, just begging Him for redemption
I got tears down my face, blood on my shirt
They're disappointed cah there's still an empty casket in that hearse
Then I think fame and fortune is a gift and a curse
But this is fortune over fame, finances first
My come-up made me feel like I'm Moses when he parted the sea
I think I'm Moses Itauma, I just put man to sleep
And this is not for the weak, and you just know you're built different
When you see getting money like it's hide-and-go-seek
And when you climb to the peak, you don't need an introduction
It become synonymous, this is like Pablo and keys
Rocky and Creed, Superman and Christopher Reeves
Now you got me in my zone, let me breathe
'Cause I'm about to enter the dragon like a young Bruce Lee
Cah this fire that I'm breathing's at a thousand degrees
You better keep the noise down while the giant's asleep
'Cause if he wakes up, I swear, it's the return of the beast
And this is timeless music, when I'm dead and I'm gone
I bet you make it, maintain it, still putting man on
Trust me, you don't need your flowers when you know what you want
I'm tryna go down in history where I really belong
And this one's make it, maintain it, my pen game is dangerous
I float like a butterfly, sting like a blade does
Star Wars, I used to play with them lightsabers
Turn up in an outfit blacker than Darth Vader's
I could keep on going, this flow is just outrageous
Stoic with the poetry like I'm Marcus Aurelius
Hustle seven days of the week, that's a Craig David
And that's how you make it
To maintain, you have to let go of them friends
That say they wanna see you win
While stabbing holes in your boat cah they wanna see you sink
I just tell 'em not to blink 'cause all I need's a minute
Once I figure out their style, I just clip them on their chin
I really coulda been a fighter, coulda been a gangster
Coulda been a robber, taking money from a banker
Anger management, they really couldn't contain my anger
There's electric in the air when I'm spitting like I'm Blanka
Charizard season, I started as Charmander
They hear me stepping it up all the time like a tap dancer
You seen Kill Bill, rappers, they call me the black mamba
I spit cinematic, I'm like Tarantino with the camera
This is timeless music, when I'm done with the game
I bet you make it, maintain it, still stuck in their brain
Trust me, you don't need gassing up when you're born with a flame
They teach us how to get rich but never how to maintain
I emptied the cartridge, left shells on nuff stages
My wages were paid in full, came up like Ace did
From faithless to biblical, damn, it's contagious
When a real one from the streets copes from peddling favours
They're like, "How'd he get so famous?", ask the newspapers
Stayed away from majors, this shit ain't for sale
Fuck the sharks, I just point my harpoon at their faces
