[Hook: Rook]
Been waiting on my time, yeah
They wanna block my shine
They wanna tell me wait in line
Well fuck it Ima take what's mine
Would you ride for me?
Would you die for me?
Would you be right there on the side of me?
While I, try to get paid
Hustle gotta try to make a way
Just roll it up
C'mon baby roll it up I'll tell you everything I was holding on to
Baby come a bit closer
What you gotta do the most for?
Weight of the world on my shoulders
But my story ain't over
Baby come a bit closer
What you gotta do the most for?
Weight of the world on my shoulders
But my story ain't over
[Verse 1: Rook]
Working hard, working hard everyday
Gotta try to find a way
Gotta hunt the doe just to get a buck
They want to see you down they don't want to see you up
So if it ain't about the money then it sound like some other stuff
Me and my crew, must of rolled 100 blunts
100 nights, 100 days
Thinking bout a million dollars, different ways to get paid
What you think?
[Verse 2:Joely]
In the streets
Walking all alone me no need no defense
Know my enemies and watch my friends
Lord come save me oh yes
Cuz dem man dem prey on a man oh yes
Dey no wanna see me in a private jet
They don't wanna see me in a drop top Benz, yeah yeah
I got so much to say, but I don't have the time of day
I got to get on the way, cuz a man got bills to pay
Baby come a little closer
What you think I put the most for ?
Weight of the world on my shoulder, yeah
[Bridge:Rook]
I pray, we gonna live forever
One day baby we gonna get it together
Could be good, could be great
I don't know so I can't stay right now
We just on a different page right now
We ain't on the same wave right now
[Bridge:Joely]
Baby come a little closer
What you think I put the most for ?
Weight of the world on my shoulder, yeah
[Hook: Rook]
Been waiting on my time, yeah
They wanna block my shine
They wanna tell me wait in line
Well fuck it Ima take what's mine
Would you ride for me?
Would you die for me?
Would you be right there on the side of me?
While I, try to get paid
Hustle gotta try to make a way
Just roll it up
C'mon baby roll it up I'll tell you everything I was holding on to
Baby come a bit closer
What you gotta do the most for?
Weight of the world on my shoulders
But my story ain't over
