Von Alexander - As the World Turns Lyrics

Yeah
Started out with a dream and a plot
Put the key in the lock then I opened the door
I just wanna put my team on the top
My eye on the guap
Bentley off the lot
Might chop off ya top
If you try to test
Diamonds get made out of pressure
Take heart out ya chest
Take air out ya neck
Violins at your death
Lay you down to rest
Violence ain't a threat

It's a promise of consequences for opposition
No competition
My opulence is just confidence
And these niggas acting like my position
Ain't come from having no pot to piss in
My pop was missing
My mom was hitting
Crack rock addiction
My clock was ticking
I stopped resisting

Had nowhere to go I was broke
Now and days money calling my phone
I remember when I was alone
Had to learn all this shit on my own
These niggas wanna block my shot
But I learned how to move through the zone
And they wanna come and pop my top
Open that and you might see the globe

Young north side nigga
Corner store grape juice the aluminum top
I was 13 when I first seen what a nigga might do for a knot
Taking trips with my bro to the trap
In the kitchen tryna bag him a sack
I was chilling I was into the raps
I was learning how to make this shit crack
I'm the future future what the fuck is the past
Karma sutra making love to the cash
Karma suit ya she'll be back in a flash
I just I hope that I don't go out in a blast
45's like who looking for change
Both eyes open hole, in ya brain
Me and the sun like one in the same
You on fire like a blunt in rain

And you know slow motions better than no motion
I'd rather get this bread than be dead
As the world turns
I'm tryna earn
And when It all falls down we gon watch this bitch burn

Yeah
Yeah
Look

I can tell this shit is new to you huh
I'm a nigga far from usual huh
What I make is irrefutable
Moving diffusional til I get mutual funds
Nail cuticles computing the sums
Wordplay bring contusions to some
Niggas start acting delusional
Stuck in confusion
This ain't no illusion or nun
Flow like water how I work with the drums
Same clothes doing dirt like a bum
Me and my village put tires to road
Making sure we don't go back to a slum
Hating niggas tryna come out they hole
Fuck around and put em back in a slump
Never been the type of rapper to gas
Y'all niggas like to drink from pump

I'm the nigga tryna make all the streets hot
Since Reese has the box with the t-top
Laying low catching steam like a tea pot
Tryna grow and stack the green like pea pod
Moon walking like Rick Ross in his Reeboks
Hit the booth and get to cooking that rerock
Style vintage like I bought it from depop
They've been waiting on a nigga like detox

This was all part of the plan
Stuck in a heavy rotation like fans
I've been grinding off the wall like a van
While y'all been out here nodding off on em xans
Got my walk right
Got my talk right
Soft white, Off-White like a tan
2 Virgils, I hope they understand
I'm just telling you how dope that I am

Huh

Been in the game since EA
Back when niggas used to rap over beat tapes
9th Wonder and Dilla
Lil Wayne and Killa
Man I had them niggas on replay
Just run through my tracks
There's nothing but facts
I overpay tax like a rebate
Hope you listening close
I can show the ropes
I'm the one you should know
There's no debate

The young boy who grew up in the city
Where the fools show no pity
Pinch your pockets for a penny
As the world turns
I remain stern
And when it all falls down we watch this muthafucka burn
Slow motion is better than no motion
I'd rather get this bread than be dead
I do what I can to keep the family fed
Step in my way and mess around and lose your legs
Stand for nothing
Fall for something
This wasn't made for normal consumption
As the world turns
Turns, turn, turn, turn, turn yeah
