40 for 40 Lyrics

Forty

Gotta get it how I got it

Working long hours for a profit

Been a prophet since the womb I was knocking

Punch clockin' till the tribe is improved

From the days of a noose

Winter coming close, so I gotta get the Goose and Apple Juice

As I write rhymes for the beats Atlant produced

Intelligent emotion possible, here's the proof

I do it with such ease

God bless me with no sneeze

Ensuring that the genes got the steez just to please the Rap Genius

Make the women leave Venus with the sweetness and open ears

Let's be clear

I'm still a brotha struggle with fears

I'm on the pier

Say my grace so God can hear

Praying for the family who ain't here to see me reach pedestals

Creating spectacles with my greatness

Fuck the famous

I seek to anguish the language y'all slangin'

A bunch of homophobic bastards sounding like master

A disaster, trickle the bullshit to your kids

Fed from pastor, killing us faster

I'm after the laughter and the love

From my friends and my family

Talking romantics, understanding me's the keys

Pulling Nola Darling from the weeds like Stan Lee

Please save regards for the folks that'll listen

Abiding by the standard feels like prison

Not the vision I'm prolific to since middle school

I had to keep it cool

Follow the rules but I ain't wanna

So I'm blending like chameleons

I'm really in and out the Matrix 'cause y'all basic

You better catch up

Elevate your mind instead of at the strip club

Throwing dubs, getting fucked up

Here's the real

I get feels for many women

Not millions but maybe two or three

To be free's to be me

Can't be living for the ones that's not living my life

That's not enduring my strife

That's not seeing what I'm seeing

But y'all beefing with your demons

Gotta keep it Kai so that's meaning keep it vegan

It's the season for dating and explaining

Not remaining with a ho that keep playing

Not displaying what you need

Gotta feed your soul, gotta feed your mind

And if you don't you're on decline

I'm on nine and providing you with ten

So every now and then

I like to keep the peace between us

Before the piece between us

I like women, Venus and Serena

My name's Forty nice to meet ya

I've been doing this a long time

Said I been doing this a long time

Forty
