Not Yet

Yeah.

I see it all.

Crystal clear.

Just ain’t mine yet.

But I’m working on it.

Listen.

I picture the keys on the kitchen counter every single night Engine

roaring deep, chrome shining bright Sitting in the passenger seat — the

one with the pretty face Smiling like she knows I’m gonna get

us out this place I count the figures in my head before

I fall asleep Stacking pound signs up,

making sure the numbers keep Right now the pockets light,

the bus is what I take But I visualise the day I

walk into that dealership and break Every single rule they said I

had to live by See the cars,

the cash, the girls — I ain’t gonna lie I want it

bad, I want it all,

I want it right now But I wake up every morning and

I grind it out They see me quiet,

they don’t know the plans I keep Building empires in my head

while the world’s asleep

I know exactly what I want,

I can touch it in my mind Top down,

bankroll heavy, yeah I’m running out of time But I’m patient and

I’m focused, I ain’t rushing for the show ‘Cause when I finally

get it — everybody’s gonna know

I want the fast cars,

thick stacks, pretty girls that hold it down Right now I’m on

the pavement, but I’m looking at the crown

I ain’t got it in my hand yet,

but I got it in my sight Every single night I dream

it till it’s daylight Yeah I want the cars,

the money, the one that’s by my side Working for the day

I don’t have to hide

Started from the bottom and I’m still right here But everything I

want is getting oh so near

People say be humble,

don’t be greedy for the things you see

But they don’t understand what that freedom means to me

A car ain’t just a car,

it’s a ticket out the hood Money ain’t just paper,

it’s the difference that I could

Make for everyone I love,

give ‘em better days That’s the reason that I chase it in

a million different ways

I see the girls that want the best,

I tell ‘em wait and see If you can’t stick around while

they’re building me Then you don’t deserve me when the job is

finally done I don’t need you for the start,

I need you for the run Right now I walk everywhere,

count the pennies tight But I visualise the engine roaring through the

night I ain’t desperate,

I’m prepared, I’m ready and I’m able One day soon I’m pulling

up and I won’t need a label

They say don’t want for things,

just be happy with your lot But how can I be satisfied

when I know what I got

Inside of me

— potential that nobody sees

One day they’ll all look up and they’ll believe

I don’t have it yet,

but I don’t need to borrow I’m building every single piece for

my tomorrow I want the fast cars,

thick stacks, pretty girls that hold it down Right now I’m on

the pavement, but I’m looking at the crown

I ain’t got it in my hand yet,

but I got it in my sight Every single night I dream

it till it’s daylight Yeah I want the cars,

the money, the one that’s by my side Working for the day

I don’t have to hide

Started from the bottom and I’m still right here But everything I

want is getting oh so near Yeah.

Not today.

But soon.

I can taste it.

And when I get there?

I earned every single bit of it.
