LYRICS FOR "Success"
Your success took a shot at you
What are you gonna do now? Are you gonna kill it?
You gonna become unsuccessful?
Frank
Or be unsuccessful too and you can have friends
I got these niggas Breezy
Let that b**** breathe
I use to give a f***
What do I think of success? It sucks
Too much stress I guess I blew up quick
'Cause friends I grew up with
See me as a pre'me but I'm not and my nuts big
I don't know what the fuss is
My rep is impeccable
With
I'm way to important to be talking about extorting
Asking me for a portion is like asking for a coffin
Broad daylight I'll off your on switch
You're not to bright
Bye bye my reply
Blast burner then pass burner to Tye-Tye
Finish my breakfast
I got an appetite for destruction and you're a small fry
Now where was I? Let that b**** breathe
I use to give a s***
Truth be told I had more fun when I was piss poor
I'm pissed off and this success song is about
A bunch a niggas acting like b****** with big mouths
All this stress
Couple of cars
All of this ace of spade
I mean I like the taste coulda saved myself 6 hours
How many times can I go to Mr. Childs
Hold up
I'll s*** on y'all niggas
Ya ain't about to s*** on my nigga
I got watches I ain't seen in months
Apartment at the Trump
Niggas said Hova was ova
Even if I fell I'll land on a bunch of money
You ain't got nothing for me
Success
My villain appearance sacred blood of a king
And my vein ain't spilling
Ghetto Othello
Camaro driven
And ask why is life worth living
Is it to hunt for the s*** that you want?
To receive's great but I lust giving
The best jewelers wanna make my things
I make Jacob s*** on Lorraine just to make me a chain
Niggas mention the one love came home with the paper in hand
They gotta brag about the Feds young man
Old cribs I sold
Google Earth Nas
Worst enemies wanna be my best friends
Best friends wanna be enemies like Daz was in
But I don't give a f***
Take everybody's chips
Up your catalog dawg
Like Mike Jacks ATV part
Let this b**** breathe
Let this b**** breathe
