[Verse 1:]
I paid my dues, now I'm really on,
Prince to the SEA, put my city on,
Left the condo for a bigger home,
Everything clean like my chicken bones.
I work hard, I work hard for it,
Had to go back to the chalkboard,
We was tourin' countries all foreign,
Now I don't gotta open car doors.
So say what's up to my haters at the club tonight,
I'll be busy singin' my daughter lullabies,
When she sleep, I hit the booth and get super lit,
Livin' my dreams I can sleep in another life,
Livin' my dreams I can sleep in another life, yeah!
The tensions so thick, you can cut with a butter knife, yeah!
If that's your example of artists, then what am I?
You lied, they consume it, you say that you boomin',
That's probably why Metro don't trust you, gosh!
[Chorus:]
I am not surprised, I am not surprised, yeah!
Had to optimize, then monopolize, yeah!
We turn out the lights, then we come alive, yeah!
All these dollar signs, ain't no 9 to 5, yeah!
I am not surprised, I am not surprised, yeah!
Had to optimize, then monopolize, yeah!
We turn out the lights, then we come alive, yeah!
All these dollar signs, ain't no 9 to 5, yeah!
[Verse 2:]
Ten million sold, go and look at that,
Ain't no middleman gonna get any of that,
I suck at math, but I know how to add (1+1),
That's a whole lotta money.
Bought my baby's momma momma a pad,
Wow, do a spin move on stage lookin' like the white James Brown.
There's a whole lotta people in this arena, you know it sold out (sold out, sold out),
Took my daughter on the road, and she pointin' at me from the crowd (from the crowd, from the crowd)
Saying, «That's my daddy, top 5 on stage,» no doubt.
In God we trust, God we trust,
They ain't came in the same way,
They are not with us, not with us,
Came back and it's game time,
This the follow-up, and now I'm up.
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, put that on my momma,
I done this shit, I done this shit, since I was pushin' a Honda,
No one hit shit, no one hit shit, platinum plaques in mi casa,
And my accountant's dead (rest in peace) –
Couldn't count the commas.
[Chorus:]
I am not surprised, I am not surprised, yeah!
Had to optimize, then monopolize, yeah!
We turn out the lights, then we come alive, yeah!
All these dollar signs, ain't no 9 to 5, yeah!
I am not surprised, I am not surprised, yeah!
Had to optimize, then monopolize, yeah!
We turn out the lights, then we come alive, yeah!
All these dollar signs, ain't no 9 to 5, yeah!
Gemini.
