about

3) I just graduated from college at the university of Illinois and my whole family came in town to celebrate the event. Everybody except me seemed to be happy. Even though I just graduated from one of the top university’s in the US, a lot of uncertainty still faced me as a foreigner in the real world. I also did not (and still don’t) see my achievement as a big deal especially in 2010 where graduate level degrees were preferred at most job openings (for economics majors). By this point, my passion for music and expression was much greater than my passion for school and the routine life. I was sure I wanted to be a rapper and wouldn’t be satisfied until my voice was heard around the world. The odds were against me and no body wanted to give me a chance…the count down

lyrics

You know we shake them haters (X4)/ uh... alright...here i come..here i go..uh
(Verse 1)
My people proud they say that i'm coming up...21, but somehow i feel like I aint done enough/graduated college now im try'na get my numbers up/ but when you aint doing 9 to 5 they think you dumb ass f*ck/ well I'm straight on the crumbs and i have faith in my dreams/ i just take it and run i'll make it by any means/ perseverance to keep on chasing for things i barely seen/ it's a passionate fire and doubt is my kerosene / everything in life im aiming for is high up/ we just run and get it never wait for luck to find us/ i'm just tryna make my minutes count until my times up/ cause life is a bad b*itch and she dont give a flying f*ck/ so you gotta work hard to make it high enough/ global recession so professions aint really hiring us...so what u think ama do?/ complain and sit around?..until i'm living it up im never looking down.
(HOOK) 1,2 we are coming for you/3, 4 you better lock your doors/ 5,6,7,8,9,10 it's too late/ we about to blow up it's about to go down (4) (you know we shake em haters x2)/so we shake em haters off of us we shake em off /u know we shake em haters off of us we shake em off/ we about to blow up it's about to go down/ we about to blow up it's about to go down down down down down
(verse 2)
Im far from comfy in the spot im sitting/ All i got is a lot-a letters not a lot-a digits..so i still got a lot-a wishes/ I'm try'na see a mil (meal) but first i gotta wash the dishes../2 eyes but i got foresight..im Try'na shoot once but im try'na score twice/ your simple mind would think it cant be done/ there is nothing in this evil world that i cant become/And through the turbulence you never see my plane dive/ and i stay kushed up so i always aim high/ i bring it up again, back then they aint f*ck with him, now i put it down down they asking whatsup with him/ linked up with the baron boys now i'm really on the scene/ All my niggas patiently waiting to see me on the screen... i tell em hold tight/ shits really about to pop..tryna make it big time so im working around the clock
(hook)
(Verse 3)
Im so full of positive energy..im thankful i love all my enemies/ so grateful must be something im doing better/go for the 'W' never play for the losing letter..and well..they associate with 'Ls'/ my click move fast dont associate with snails/ the boy spit flame dnt associate with hell/  headed for the happy ending with this story that i tell..might as well/ cause im quick on the feet..i throw up on the track.. cos im sick of the beat/ im never looking back the hate is in my past..im more focused getting acquainted with that cash maen i'm aiming at they ass/ Go ham and bacon on they ass and i come hard like i masturbated on the track/ Im the under dog they say that im overrated...well..i tell em thanks for the motivation
(Hook)
its blink...baron boys...alright...yessooo...goodnight...
