A Million Dollars by Ethos The Rapper Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Needless to say it's been a long road, amazing to think about how it's all flowed
Nothin' but up from here so watch the beanstalk grow as we all climb up it with bravado
Sometimes I gotta sit back and just breath slow, then I figure out my worry's narrow
And it's time for me to let go of the old bloke chained to status quo thinkin' followin' dreams is a joke
[Chorus 1]
Now I think he knows what he wants but
No denyin' that he got a new kinda strut
Dreams turnin' into dollars now no matter what
Knew it was what I should be doin' way deep in my gut
[Verse 2]
Feelin' like I got more to give them than just a wage, hop in a rocket, tilt it on up, and say engage
Livin' life on the biggest stage, and I never would had if it if I couldn't learn how to take a book from a page
Takin' dreams to a dollar no matter how I can, had a vision, stuck to it, won, and now I'm in the pan
Fightin' the fire with ire, what am I, to them I am a frier but I can tell that they all admire
[Chorus 1]
Now I think he knows what he wants but
No denyin' that he got a new kinda strut
Dreams turnin' into dollars now no matter what
Knew it was what I should be doin' way deep in my gut
[Verse 3]
My pops said go to college but by then I could play 3 instruments and I had some knowledge
And there ain't no mystery about it, I knew then that I wasn't like the others and my mom knew I was on it
Even back then I knew that I wanted to create, but I had to spend my life learnin' to elevate
Had to re-educate a lifetime of fears, thinkin' that got to fester and assimilate within myself and turn to hate
But I put all of that behind me and I moved past, now the numbers and blessings are comin' at me fast
And I'm a forecast that about a year goes by before my opponents are straight tappin' out 'cause they're all too gassed
You don't ever pass up your dreams for a slow buck, lookin' only for shit to buy or someone to fuck, well you're in luck
If this is what you should be doin' you'll be guided along and smashin' through bushes like a bruin, bet
[End]
A million dollars? Aight, bet
A million dollars? Aight, bet
Needless to say it's been a long road, amazing to think about how it's all flowed
Nothin' but up from here so watch the beanstalk grow as we all climb up it with bravado

And it's time for me to let go of the old bloke chained to status quo thinkin' followin' dreams is a joke

No denyin' that he got a new kinda strut
