And you say New York
Ski Beatz & AO
And you say New York
Baby, it's star time
(Repeat)

Verse 1
Not on this planet to follow the script
Or play the role that they tell me to play, I ad-lib everyday
So, pardon me if it’s hard to see in my direction, I’m bright
Shine like that one Rihanna song, you know it right?
I was a kid when I realized that I had a gift
Had to put it together; my mother was not tryna hear that shit
“Go to school, get your education, get a job.”
“Yeah alright, that’s cool but if it’s all the same I’d rather rhyme.”
Still took my ass to college, still got a diploma
Drove it up to Mommy’s job, handed her that tucked in a folder
Like…”you can hold it, I’ma use it later. Save it.”
I’m after a different type of paper, type my name on resumes? What?
Why would I do that when I do this?
I write my life on loose-leaf, get talked about through loose lips
Pay my sales tax every quarter ‘cause I do this in real life
Real CEO, I’m really ill right?


Hook
Rather die young if I can’t life my life
I record; you press play and I live twice
We strive to be great one day
So let the world spin and all the people say
(Rather die young)
Life forever or die now
Born to be great, it’s a shame if you never find out

Verse 2
Please believe, I need to see it all. Need to ball
You need balls to get it done, declare war
On corny lifestyles. Tell them haters pipe down, pause
This is God. Got me living ‘til I’m gone...in top form
Go from Top Ramen noodles from my stove top
To..Thai-American fusion sipping my sake hot
I...got it from fusing lyrics together on the spot
And I tilt my hat to hustlers that made it off the block
‘Cause life will never hand out so I’d never play the safe route
And I’d never stand down to let somebody where I stand now
You’d never believe half of the shit that I’ve seen
Or shit that happened to me...nah I ain’t bragging, I’m G
And I’m D if you’re talking about some G’s
Earn my stripes like the 3 that I copped and rock on my feet
Notice me? No defeats when AO competes. Bro copeesh? Magnifique
Word to Vannah, Lexy and Nique...I’m a beast. Peace
