AKA - Congratulate Lyrics

Starts out with a pipe dream
White T and an ice cream
All day on the MySpace
M.J trying to buy face
I had to pay dues, had to make moves on faith
Even got booed off stage
Trying to put food on plate
Dropped a couple jewels on tape
Now we got views on Base
So much love, trust fund and Kas’lam
Bad chick in my address and she showing up with that plus one
Through depths and peaks, wolves dressed as sheep
Better protect the key while I pen this acceptance speech

Do you see what it took? Is it clearer?
Who you see when you look in the mirror?
All the dreams and fantasies that come together
I’ll be shining like a diamond, that’s forever

Now congratulate me
Now congratulate me
Now congratulate me
Now congratulate me
Now congratulate me
Now congratulate me
Now congratulate me
Now congratulate me

Now this the moment I’ve been waiting for my whole life
Didn’t believe it ‘til I seen with my own eyes
Imma need a black tux and a bowtie
Double cup, white chucks and a strobe light
Niggas have bad luck when they roll dice
The numbers add up and they don’t lie
Showtime, my bread butter on both sides
Took it to the champagne from the Morvite, now everybody come on
Aw’ bula boot (aw’ bula boot)
J.C le Roux (Aw’bona)
That’s all I think about, sitting up in my room (Sitting up in my room)
Aw’kuze kuse (Aw’kuze kuse)
Aw gin and juice (Aw gin and juice)
It’s all coming back to me...like déja vu

Now congratulate me
Now congratulate me
Now congratulate me
Now congratulate me
Now congratulate me
Now congratulate me
Now congratulate me
Now congratulate me

Think back to my old days
All I wanted was a gold chain
So stuck in my old ways
Now we all household names
What you know about sacrifice, flashing lights
Rights of passage for bragging rights
Bad romances, packs of pampers
And this ain’t time to be camera shy
My one homie got a gun in the cupboard
My other homie got a bun in the oven
Baby mama getting big in the stomach
Pop champagne or the Four Cousins
I think it’s time to be a man now
I feel like moving to my gran’s house
Everybody lined up for a handout
Really I just wanna make my old man proud

Do you see what it took? Is it clearer?
Who you see when you look in the mirror?
All the dreams and fantasies that come together
I’ll be shining like a diamond, that’s forever

Now congratulate me
Now congratulate me
Now congratulate me
Now congratulate me
Now congratulate me
Now congratulate me
Now congratulate me
Now congratulate me
