A Lil More by Eugenius Lyrics
Word to Catawba, I miss my pawtna dem
Up in Stacks' room, playin Grand Theft Auto when
I should be workin on an essay, but I'm chillin wit my esses
Trading bars, always chiselin a sharper pen
Now I ride around to Nas, It Ain't Hard to Tell
Now I ride to school to anything by Lauryn Hill
Inspiring the ammunition in my arsenal
Nobody hear me cuz they shot and killed
Burnt is the offering, been thru a lot of hell
But I'm flame retardant, this how Flocka feel
Waka mile in my shoes, you'll take a lot of L's
Bullied for actin whiter than my guy Jaleel
I was Urkel, had circles over my pupils
I won't hurt ya, I work for the Daily Bugle
But if my circle don't trust you, they may just shoot you
You want some more? Let's take a metro to the future
(Ominous Crooning/Singing)
[Eugenius]
Yeah, that was just some umm....that was just something I had
Uhhhh....you got that uhhhh.....remember that one we were working on the other day?
[TLJ]
Uhhh I think I know what you're talking about
Hold on
[E]
Lemme see what you....
[Silence]
[***** plays]
[E]
Nah umm....(sigh)....the uhh....
The one with the Lupe sample
[T]
Oh!
(Superstar)
I been havin the same dream...every day
Wake up, snooze, wake up, K cups in my Kuerig
A bagel and Katie Couric, then I go out on my merry way
Take a seat, take notes, gotta paraphrase
After that, go to work, got the hat and the shirt
And the vest and the gloves, gettin bags full of dirt
For our regular customers, frustrated
10 bucks was never enough for me, not amount wise
A wise man once told me a man's true pleasure and wealth never counted on account size
Next year I'm tryna make it to South By, oh, I'mma make it
I really just don't be outside, I'm concentrating
Don't knock on my door unless your name is "opportunity", dropped a new EP
The key is continuity, I'm losin sleep
Soon to lose friends
Loosening my tie, gotta tie up loose ends
Where's the old Tim, what I gotta do then?
Wanna see change? All I got is 2 tens, homie we 2 men
Ain't really got time anymore to spend
Hangin out, I'm tryna make it out
I been writing in the hopes one day
Someone finds my handwriting and I'm praying they can make it out
Write a blank check, make it out to you and yours
You don't understand this is what I do it for
To afford a new Accord, and since I'm everybody's plug
Imma buy myself a newer cord
By Myself isn't me anymore
You don't know what I had to go through
He looked at me, sayin "You done bought the lies they sold you"
"You must've forgot what the wise man told you"
Head hard as hell, information hit it late as Carson Daly
On a daily, it could take minute
But we need it fast, like we only eating grapes and spinach
I close my eyes and all I see is naked women
Pacing, swimming, taking linens out the washer
I'm not the candidate for makin women outta daughters
Just a nigga outta Carolina, tryna get up outta Carolina
Practicing my cata, standing on terracotta
Studying theravada
Father at the altar, mama into drama, like writing plays
I knew this was right for me when my Rightie could write for days
So one day, it would write a rider contract
Justified frustration aimed at my idle comrades
Say they down for the cause, but they saw the montage
That was months worth, now they mad, out of a job
Dreaming 'bout when the rims roll out the garage
They want the house on a hill, I want a house and a dog
My peace, I found it in God
Few pieces of land, getting up early just to water my plants
Waking up in the sand if I want cuz I can
Meditate on the roof, no relegating my youth
Thanking God, he giveth and taketh away in a poof
Family been having interventions wit me as if I been living crazy
But, I just been distant lately
I'm not a little baby, but I'm still your little baby
I'm just in disarray, be happy I ain't sipping drank
Be happy I ain't whipping yay, be happy I ain't lighting a spliff with dank in it
Just be happy all my edges straight, but they more concerned about me missing Hades
Who would want a pair of Flaming Lips kissing our little angels
Can't remember the last time I ate at a kitchen table, shameful
Dinner at the office often
Honestly need glasses, but the last time I had 'em
I was the laughing stock of the class with the ashy knee caps
And the nappy peas back when waves were in
Never rode a wave, but I always managed to make a friend
Gee Whiz, Jake and Finn
Revisit the chicken scratch pre-revision, should've left it how it was
Left it out the suds, kept it bout the love, but it's been about a buck
From the jump, I might sell out
I might drop out
Cons and pros weighed again and again and again and again and again and again and again
But only knows God the day it'll end
Dug some plot holes while playing pretend
Rhymes, flows I jot those on paper and pen
The fakest of friends talk about makin amends over the breaking of bread
Like "let me buy you a steak", I'll stick it straight through their heart
You afraid of the dark? You afraid of playin your part?
Practice patience, get your weight up
What you weighing, no Damon and Shawn
Y'all floss too much man
I mean we get it, you clean, but you do it 'till the bristles fall off the brush
Talking 'bout "ohhhh we working" and "I'm bossing up", but you ain't get off your butt
Engineer getting cheated, can't even give him gas money
And last Monday I saw you getting up off the bus
Lost your touch, cough it up
This ain't off the cuff, I'm just coming off a nine hour shift
36 degrees with a wind freeze chill, God, tell it "be still"
But I push through cause success ain't coming off of luck
Awful lot of y'all think so though
Borrowing pens, following trends
I bet if I checked the back of your closet I'd find a pink Polo
See the sheep don't know that they're sheep till a beast feasts on the shepherd
Now they can't speak no more cuz no one will tell 'em what to say
Proof that he led 'em all astray, what legacy?
I tell you what, young Mecca gon' be set with enough cheddar
That she could double the recipe
Bump your uncle, be better than me
Blood, tears, sweat and defeat
I got one gear, rev it and screech
Up in Stacks' room, playin Grand Theft Auto when
I should be workin on an essay, but I'm chillin wit my esses
Trading bars, always chiselin a sharper pen
Now I ride around to Nas, It Ain't Hard to Tell
Now I ride to school to anything by Lauryn Hill
