In Demand

[Verse 1: Joey Burbs]
I'm hoping that you understand
You ain't the man until you're in demand
Just pray to God we keep you in the plans
You ain't the man until you in it

But I've been on a mission since the day we were brought up
Every time we dropping hits we know they thought up
Ways to bring me down
But when they're here don't hear a sound
Guess that's the way you gotta act when nothing real has been around

Used to be on my own now
I got a team of my own now
I don't know where to go now
But I know where I've been

So what you trying to do?
I see you coming for the squad and boy you bound to lose
Just realize that while you're coming for him
That there's enough for all of us and everybody can win

But you keep spending all that energy on things that don't apply to you
I'll keep doing things that you would more than probably die to do
I'll keep doing things that teachers told you not to try in school
And you keep saying that it's cool, well someone must have lied to you

[Chorus: Joey Burbs]
'Bout time that we feel this moment
'Bout time baby you deserve it
We just really tryna flex on 'em, flex on 'em
Keep the checks coming, let 'em know we next on 'em

'Bout time that we feel this moment
'Bout time baby you deserve it
Put the work in and everything will work out
This the life that we always talk about

[Verse 2: Joey Burbs]
I'm hoping that you understand
You ain't the man until you're in demand
Just pray to God we keep you in the plans
You ain't the man until you in it

What they want from me?
I can see it in their eyes
Ain't no commodity
But all they see is dollar signs
Buying stock in me
Watch that money multiply
No one stopping me
From making all this come alive

You've gotta be around it
I'm out here writing it while you just read about it
Used to call me a show off but now they call me to show up
Hoping we let them attach along and be apart of the glow up

So hold up, I see you stunting so what?
You never get your dough up
Until you're in demand you're just a no one

And while they stay in their lane they're always saying you've changed
But I ain't working this hard just to be staying the same

Yea I've got friends who've been around since the days in the basement
I've got friends who settled down now they're more like an acquaintance
I've got friends in the league, man I've got friends who've been up
Man I got friends who 'got be famous, I'm just tryna keep up

[Chorus: Joey Burbs]
'Bout time that we feel this moment
'Bout time baby you deserve it
We just really tryna flex on 'em, flex on 'em
Keep the checks coming, let 'em know we next on 'em

'Bout time that we feel this moment
'Bout time baby you deserve it
Put the work in and everything will work out
This the life that we always talk about

I'm hoping that you understand
You ain't the man until you're in demand
Just pray to God we keep you in the plans
You ain't the man until you in it
