Lyrics
It goes one for the money
Expressing the pursuit of financial success.
Two for the hoes
Referencing relationships or women.
Three for the fame
Aspiring for fame in the music industry.
Four for the shows
Anticipation of opportunities to perform.
Five for the craft
Recognition of the artistic skill and dedication.
Six for the glow
Desire for a shining, successful career.
Seven eight nine ten
Eager anticipation for what follows.
Yeah yeah here we go
-I'm living my life through this music
Reiteration of the commitment to live through music.
So you know that I'ma keep doin it
-I'm living my life through this music
-So you know that I'ma keep doin it
-I'm living my life through this music
-So you know that I'ma keep doin it
-I'm living my life through this music
-So you know that I'ma keep doin it
-This been my dream since age seven
Having the dream of a music career since childhood.
When other kids were in play sessions
Contrasting childhood activities with pursuing music.
I picked up the pen picked up a mic
Early involvement with writing and performing.
Knew I had incredible stage presence
-Wanna let loose like a caged dragon
Expressing a desire for creative freedom.
But my pen is holy it contains heaven
Recognizing the sacred nature of artistic expression.
From bad weather to sunny Good Times
Referencing life's ups and downs.
That's Florida and James Evans
-I want the money I want the fame
Desire for financial success and global recognition.
I want the love I want the praise
-Do outside shows on summer days
-So fire the world's engulfed in flames
-Shock value I stun and taze
Using shock value to make a lasting impression.
Till the death of me or another phase
-This ain't a game
Emphasizing the seriousness of the music industry.
No recess but if you wanna try
-You can come and play
-I don't live life in other ways
Staying grounded despite achievements.
I stay humble not above the praise
-I'm so bright that my solar rays
Confident in one's bright and positive impact.
Are enough to make the sun look the other way
-Can't see the haters with my stunna shades
Ignoring negativity with a confident attitude.
Some days, they make me wanna run away
Dealing with challenges but staying true to oneself.
But I know who I am and I know why I'm here
-So knowing that makes me unafraid
-It goes one for the money
Repeating the connection between money, fame, and music.
Two for the hoes
-Three for the fame
-Four for the shows
-Five for the craft
-Six for the glow
-Seven eight nine ten
-Yeah yeah here we go
-I'm living my life through this music
Reiterating the commitment to live through music.
So you know that I'ma keep doin it
-I'm living my life through this music
-So you know that I'ma keep doin it
-I'm living my life through this music
-So you know that I'ma keep doin it
-I'm living my life through this music
-So you know that I'ma keep doin it
-The day I stop be the death of me
Stating dedication to music until the end of life.
Since my day of birth yall slept on me
Expressing being underestimated by others.
A third of talent a third of luck
Listing ingredients for success: talent, luck, perseverance.
And third of perseverance my recipe
-I don't know what yall expect from me
Addressing uncertainty but committing to goals.
But I'll never quit till the goal accomplished
-When I lose my love for the craft of music
Declaring the commitment to music until death.
Will be the day my flesh and soul is rotten
-It goes one for the money
Repeating the connection between money, fame, and music.
Two for the hoes
-Three for the fame
-Four for the shows
-Five for the craft
-Six for the glow
-Seven eight nine ten
-Yeah yeah here we go
-I'm living my life through this music
Reiterating the commitment to live through music.
So you know that I'ma keep doin it
-I'm living my life through this music
-So you know that I'ma keep doin it
-I'm living my life through this music
-So you know that I'ma keep doin it
-I'm living my life through this music
-So you know that I'ma keep doin it
