Darkness of the Night Lyrics

Look, yeah

I won the lottery of life

I never thought I'd get this high (Nope)

They want the spotlight

Me, I'm thriving in the darkness of the night (Thriving)

Cooking up the most whenever no one's looking

Away, I've been gone, I'm out of sight (Gone)

Adjusting to my new way of life

Came a long way from barely getting by

So many obstacles daily

It's hard to look back at the progress I'm making (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

When I started out, they all thought I was crazy

I'm feeling like I won the lottery lately

I know I'm the greatest, ain't sorry to say it

And all of them watching, they're rotten and hating (Rot)

But you can't dispute what I've done in this game when you're seeing my beats getting onto a playlist with three million listeners (Whoo)

Yeah, I don't let fake people in my perimeter (Nah)

I know they talk about me when I'm not around

I don't play that shit, not even a little bit (No way)

Cross me, I'll often get awfully sinister

You can't get a read on me

Just when you thought you knew 'bout me, the plot getting twisted up

Think what you want, I do not really give a fuck (No)

The pressure is heavy (Heavy)

This shit getting messy (Messy)

I keep it on ten like I'm Messi (Yeah, yeah, yeah, Messi)

I'm killing shit like I was Freddy (Yeah, yeah, yeah, Freddy)

I cannot spend any time around you if you're holding me back like a levee (No way)

I cut through the bullshit, machete

You know I've been ready already, yeah (Ready)

Man, so many people I've met that ain't solid

They're telling you one thing but doing another (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I guess it's the norm nowadays to be acting the part but not actually being it (Fake)

Damn, it's a shame, the direction we're going

When people are trying to flex on the surface (Go, go)

But really they're broke and want everything now 'cause the gratification immediate (What the fuck?)

I'm a firm believer in a slow build (Yeah)

Nothing great happens overnight

Can't get to the top if there's no hill (No way)

I need me a doctor, I'm so ill

I say it direct, I get straight to the point, to the end of my time, I'ma go till (Go)

I'm doing this shit till I gross mils

They're paying me just like a phone bill (Paying up)

Working so hard every day, I've been stacking new money and counting my old bills

A legend forever, I'm goated

They know all my shit 'cause I wrote hits (Hits)

Since They Know was rapping on Smoke It

Remember when I used to roll spliffs

And burn 'em all down in my old whip now (Burn it down, whoa)

(Burn 'em all down in my old whip)

(Jack is producing bangers)

(Yeah)

(Burn 'em all)

(Burn 'em)

(Yeah)

(Yeah)

They've been talking that shit (What?)

But it's never gonna bother me (Nope)

They ain't got no brain (Brain, brain)

I ain't talking 'bout lobotomy (No)

I'm tuning out if you're spilling tea

'Cause I never gave a fuck about the gossiping (Nuh uh)

Whole world, everybody arguing

You gotta be careful how time is spent

Before you know it, you're buried and gone and this life that you had, it done came and went (Gone)

In the blink of an eye, you get sent to heaven

But me, I've been heaven-sent

I don't give a fuck no more (No)

Not relying on my luck no more (No)

They say that life is a game of chess

But I'm jumping over you, playing checkers (Jumping way over you)

I'm building something I'm proud of, a legacy so legendary that they'll remember (A legacy so legendary)

I'm leaving something they ain't forgetting

Hard work beats talent with daily effort (Yeah)

Me, I got both of 'em, put in the work, and I got through the storm and the rainy weather (I put in the work)

Money was never a problem for me lately, I got enough I can save and spend it (Uh huh)

Oh, he going off again (Off)

Going stupid, so pardon me (Rah)

Now I'm rocking that Louis and Dior, I used to be shopping at Dollar Tree

I'm invested, I'm all for it

I used to be smoking that tall forest (Whoo)

But now I got way too much shit on my mind, I've already been up working all morning (Work)

'Cause I gotta get ahead

They wouldn't care if I'm left for dead

Proficient at this shit, I've been adept

You used to hate, I can recollect (Uh huh)

This an expression of my inner conscience, I don't only do this to get a check

They say go to hell, but I'm heaven-sent

And I've already been through it, better yet (Yup)

Cooking up like a mad scientist, I'm making that heat in my living room (Cook, cook, cook)

I done worked so damn hard, now I finally got me some wiggle room (Yeah)

But I will not take a breather

'Cause it's crunch time and I'm under the gun

I'll do this shit till I'm a hundred and one

And get me every dollar under the sun, bitch

(Time and I'm under the gun)

(I'll do this shit till I'm a hun-)
