lyrics

Life Of Privilege

Limitless possibilities, I’ll show you. There’s gold in them city streets

Gyal don’t you like my style? I’m official now. Take a picture let the image last
Try to save the visions of the past

If stuntin’ is a habit, all I know dem ladies gotta have it.
Born to live the life, watch me shine tonight

I’m destined for that homegrown super-stardom role. I’m spending money like it’s water, just to let it go
Poppin bottles, poppin collars like it’s no tomorrow. I’m longing for the days when it seems it all would never slip away

CHORUS
Ode to Life Of Privilege
Can’t fight the feeling we can do no wrong, Take it for granted ‘til the thrill is gone

They used to call me by the name “King Of Everything I Survey”, Money ain’t a thang, Seems the times have changed

We used to ride silver carriages, drawn, drivers uniformed, nothing but the best
Now dem call we “ghetto mess”.

Throw dem stones, Hatred grown.. She said “congratulations ‘pon the recent acquisition of our destitute condition” (WHAT?!) You’re gonna pay the price for your insolence when I take over this world again
I’m a boss, Baby!

Superstar… I’m aware of the contradictions, But inna the first position it’s all or nothing
So seductive, Dealing with the competition is bad enough without these outsiders passing judgement, Hold their grudge dem, against the way we choose to live

CHORUS
Ode To Life Of Privilege
Light both the ends and watch the candles burn
I push the limit, leave no stone unturned

Sometimes the truth is burden. This life we live we’re learning
I learned the girls respond with passion when me flaunt the fashion

Top of the list, don’t miss this
Raise up the cup, just sip this
Long as the wrist is frozen, Diamond/Golden, You’ll get chosen
I tried to run this script before: I said “A girl like you deserves so much more”,
Meanwhile she sees some more ballers at the table… Dollars in the air…
Makes her wonder what the business is… (Damn)

CHORUS
Ode To Life Of Privilege
Live for today and I can take you higher
But ain’t no tellin’ what your heart desires
