[Intro: DJ Drama & Symba]
Ahem (Aw shit)
Y'all ready?
Well, look who came to party
DJ Drama, Symba
[Chorus: Symba]
Ayy, wakin’ up to texts from every girl I like
Jumpin' out a car to jump back on a flight
Think I wouldn't go through hell and back to live this life?
You fuckin’ right, this shit ain't happen overnight
[Verse 1: Symba & DJ Drama]
Hard times make us rich and famous
But we intend to get more rich than famous (Fuck the fame, get the fortune)
Life has its way of pickin' favorites
Which makes us take the focus off of what's for us and think of switchin' places
Let's take it back to my one-bedroom, TV on the floor (Tell 'em)
Back when we couldn't see our dreams but knew we wanted more
Back when Canard would tell me I sound like I’m from New York
And I need a feature from Kafani if I want support
He wasn’t wrong, that was just his opinion
His problem was I saw further than what he envisioned
Believe a n***a, the nonbelievers'll leave a n***a
Win, lose or draw, no matter what
That’s a me decision, be consistent
I gotta watch the way I move 'cause they know who I am
Nowadays, my worst decisions could get caught on cam
People wanna hold you up when it's time to advance
Life is short, I can't be out here not tryna expand
[Chorus: Symba, DJ Drama & Both]
Wakin’ up to texts from every girl I like (Girl I like)
Jumpin' out a car to jump back on a flight (On a flight)
Think I wouldn't go through hell and back to live this life?
You fuckin' right, this shit ain't happen overnight
You fuckin' right, this shit ain't happen overnight
See these results?
You fuckin' right, this shit ain't happen overnight (Take time)
[Verse 2: Symba & DJ Drama]
Only Black boy in first class goin' to Paris
I brought a girl from Oakland to France to smoke on the terrace
She can't pronounce "escargot", I'm sort of embarrassed
She think that every old white woman staring's a Karen
I used to think a fresh pair of Js was somethin' to cherish
Now I rock a fresh pair of Js just to run errands
I went from Lake Mary to hoppin' out of McLarens
Walkin' out of Louis like all this shit is on clearance
You gotta believe in you before people believe it first
If you never put in the work then you'll never know what its worth
Today a rapper approached me and asked me to buy his shirt
He was head to toe in Dior, why the fuck would I want your merch?
[Chorus: Symba, DJ Drama & Both]
Wakin' up to texts from every girl I like (Girl I like)
Jumpin' out a car to jump back on a flight (On a flight)
Think I wouldn't go through hell and back to live this life?
You fuckin' right, this shit ain't happen overnight
[Outro: DJ Drama & Symba]
Back in the 60s, Andy Warhol once said
"In the future, everybody will be famous for fifteen minutes"
You fuckin' right, this shit ain't happen overnight
Boy, was he right
You n***as is overnight celebrities
And then you fizzle out
This here is, hard work
Dedication, consistency
These results take time
Symba! (You fuckin' right, this shit ain't happen overnight)
