Celebration Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
Look, They say I won't amount to nothing
I ain't gon be shit
Tell me hang it up there ain't no way you'll see me quit
I been the same nigga ain't no way you'll see me switch
I need this money, fame, a couple chains, and a v6
Reporting live from the back blocks underground hip hop and the city is my backdrop
Money in the stash spot writing every night
Bought a $100 dollar mic just recording on my laptop
We came a
Long way from long days in the hallways
No days off till we on the floor at the Barclays
Stacking up a million writtens cuz every bar pays
You get a different feeling every time you hear my songs play
Givenchy I be killing with this fashion shit or this rapping shit
Old school flows I'ma catalyst
Establishing a new way of writing writtens immaculate
Practicing ain't even half of what I'm imagining
My only competition myself
So I've been challenging the only thing I'm wishing is wealth
That's why I'm after it
And I'm mastering making music until I capture it
Niggas begin to chatter they asking but that's what happens
When you living a dream
Focused on getting this green nothing could get in between
Me and my team winning we running league
All of you niggas beneath
Ripping these beats writing and recording for weeks
Now when they listen I speak
Coming from nothing to something I'm chasing the top and they watching my style is unique
Better believe who fucking with me? Ain't nobody ever
Dead or alive the best of my time a sound nobody could measure
I been on my grind, inventing the rhymes, and killing since I could remember
Niggas will probably pretend to be on my level
I promise you not a contender
[Hook:]
What we celebrating?
History in the making
Looking at all the faces who say that my time is wasting
What we celebrating?
Patience and dedication
The time it takes to be great when they say that you'll never make it

[Bridge:]
What we celebrating?
Cassette Tapes & Crates
It's a celebration closer to the dreams I chase

[Verse 2:]
I'm feeling like Nas in the 90s
Hov in his prime
Jordan at the free throw line in crunch time
I'm loading up my notebook shoot them with punch lines
On the front line ready for war when it comes time
The only thing I ever wanted was getting enough shine
So i need shades on my face to prevent me from going blind
They like why is this little nigga unsigned
When he rhyme like he 29 really one of a kind
Gimme a couple milli I'm signing the dotted line
I'm inclined with this rap shit what happened was over time
I decided there's no other other option but kill them with rhymes
Lets be honest lyrically the hottest
So i wonder why
They don't get what I'm saying
I'm spitting amazing I'm thinking of making a killing
Envisioning fame I'm getting impatient thinking of making a million
I became one of the greatest
Filling up pages really just hoping they feel it
Now when I walk in the building
I get the feeling that I'm hurting they feelings
Playing the villain
I ain't even mean to do it
Just focused on this music so haters attracted to it
Don't get it twisted ain't no squares in my circle like a rubix
Diamonds Shining we done came along way from the cubics
I fell in love with Cubans Gold Links look the coolest
Rose Gold chokehold got my neck looking foolish
Dreaming of this money private jets
When we moving so they watching what we doin they copy and I can prove it
Don't get me confused with other rappers asking how I do this
The truest to this music and this rapping shit is fluent
Celebrating greatness and my talent keeps improving
And I'm killing every verse every track can get a viewing
And I'm pursuing 6 figure deals and endorsements
Whipping foreigns live in a mansion without a mortgage
Different tours and my whole team getting a portion
We balling, self made nobody did it for us
Painting a portrait
No telling what the future holds
I'm just putting the time in writing the rhymes up in the studio
Truly dope they say they like the way my jewelry glow
Lights camera action cameras flashing like a movie role
It ain't a movie though we living we don't follow a script
Just tryna get rich supplying the finest of rhyming as fine as it gets
Watch all of my enemies flip they mad and they hate that they watching me win
But it don't matter I'm making money so fuck a friend
