Fortune Lyrics

All the blood, all the sweat, all the tears

I've been doing this for so many years

They say fortune favors the bold

And the remainder of my story has yet to be told

I'm writing a new chapter

Starring the best version of me as a rapper

I'm chasing after The American Dream

And this time I came prepared with a scheme

I believe whole heartedly that hard work pays off

I hear the doubters now saying don't quit your day job

But I don't pay no mind

Cause it ain't worth my time, yeah they ain't got no spines

I hate to admit, it almost makes me sick

The pursuit of paper has overtaken him

I wanna flex the watch face, shout out the one percent

I wanna live how you fuckin' live

It'd be a lie

If I said I didn't want a taste of the fame and the fortune before I die

I want that shit, I need that shit

It'd be a lie

If I said I didn't want a taste of the fame and the fortune before I die

But these days go by way too quick

I wanna burn five stacks for the hell of it

Cause at this moment in time the boy I ain't sellin' shit

Still I'll always remember where I came from

Just waitin' for my break and my date with Lady Luck

All in good fortune, I remember what's important

I want my piece of the pie, I've earned my portion

So serve it up, serve it up

Cause right now my net worth is only a few hundred bucks

And that ain't no kind of inheritance to leave

I got so many new goals I'm prepared to achieve

Financially I ain't even reached my peak

I'll be paid by the time I'm laid in the grave, six feet deep

Get the dough then throw in the bank

Throw too much in the bag it might break

I stay captivated by my capital

Can't wait to break bread, no sabbatical

Imma cop me a new attitude

It'd be a lie

If I said I didn't want a taste of the fame and the fortune before I die

I need that shit, I want that shit

It'd be a lie

If I said I didn't want a taste of the fame and the fortune before I die

But these days go by way too quick

Rule one, protect your assets

Read the fine print, no need to squint, put on your glasses

I've had mishaps, slip ups, I know hardship

Remember where it started, dead broke in that apartment

Puttin' on for every time that I ain't had no bread

I just dread I won't see that check before I'm dead

Have respect for the live I've led

All the pain I've felt, all the tears that I've shed, blood that I've bled

I'm worth six figures at least

That's just being modest cause to be honest I'm a fuckin' beast

I know the city don't sleep

So I gotta stay one foot ahead to accomplish this feat

Cause they say fortune favors the brave

When I skirt off in that Wraith it'll show that I'm not afraid

I wanna flex the watch face, shout out the one percent

I wanna live how ya'll fuckin' live

It'd be a lie

If I said I didn't want a taste of the fame and the fortune before I die

I need that shit, I want that shit

It'd be a lie

If I said I didn't want a taste of the fame and the fortune before I die

But these days go by way too quick

I need a Gucci bag, some Saint Laurent

I'm talkin' big flossin'

Fine bitch, I'm rich

I'm talkin' big bossin'

I need a Gucci bag, some Saint Laurent

I'm talkin' big flossin'

Fine bitch, I'm rich

I'm talkin' big bossin'
