Verse 1
I paid my dues,
Bm
now I'm really on
F#m
Prince to the SEA, put my city on
Left the condo for a bigger home
Bm
F#m
Everything clean like my chicken bones
I work hard, I work hard for it
Bm
F#m
Had to go back to the chalkboard
We was tourin' countries all foreign
Now I don't gotta open car doors
Bm
So say what's up to my haters
F#m
at the club tonight
I'll be busy singing
Bm
F#m
my daughter lullabies
Bm
When she sleep, I hit the
F#m
booth and get super lit
Living my dreams like
I sleep in another life
Bm
Living my dreams like I sleep
F#m
in another life, yeah
Bm
The tensions so thick,
F#m
you could cut with a butter knife, yeah
Bm
If that's your example of artists,
F#m
then what am I?
You lied, they consume it, you

F#m
10 million sold, go and look at that
Bm
Ain't no middleman gonna get any of that
F#m
I suck at math,
Bm
but I know how to add (1 + 1)
F#m
That's a whole 'lotta money
Bought my babies and my
Bm
F#m
mama a pad
Wow, do a spin move on stage looking
like the white James Brown
There's a whole lotta people in this arena,
you know it sold out
Took my daughter on the road and she
pointing' at me from the crowd
Saying, "That's my daddy,
Bm
F#m
top 5 on stage," no doubt
In God we trust, God we trust
Bm
They ain't came in the same way
F#m
They are not with us, not with us
Came back and it's game time
This the follow- up, and now I'm up
Bm
F#m
I decided that was not enough
Dopps and Budo with that
final touch
Competition, go and line 'em up
I run this shit, I run this shit
Bm
Put that on my momma
F#m
I done this shit,
Bm
I done this shit since I was pushin' a Honda
F#m
No one hit shit, no one hit shit,
platinum plaques in mi casa
And my accountant's dead
Bm
(rest in peace)
F#m
Couldn't count the commas
