Before It Greens

Lyrics: Obe Olasunkanmi Moses Music: Obe Olasunkanmi Moses Yeah
[Verse 1] It’s never easy when you’re trying to make something out of nothing Everybody knows that when you’re broke you can’t be funny I’ll tell you that I’m lost even though I’m up to something Focusing on me, man, everyone is cunning
You gotta lock up on the Ls Never complain, before it greens it’s gon’ be red I came from a place, it’s kinda similar to hell You gotta represent, who you gon’ tell that you fell? (I mean) everyone is blessed
Took me a minute ‘cause I was sitting on the fence Communicating with myself I’m tryna be a man, but I’ve been talking to these girls Kinda distracting myself Life is like a station, and I’m reporting myself I’m so dedicated Like a new baby, man, I’m so celebrated Thinking about everything, it’s so complicated Fighting all these demons, man, they so populated And I’m so obligated
I’m lowkey, and you can’t even play me like a piano When it comes to rap, no obstacles like a Mario game OG levels, all these n****s obey Old-schooling in the 21st, you know what I’m saying
[Verse 2] I’m tryna figure this verse out Thinking in codes, reminiscing on the first verse I wanna go harder, knock it out in the first round Voices in my head, kinda feeling like I’m Pac now
Sometimes— I mean, many times you lose and then you win You understand You gotta stick that to your head I mean, be positive and shit No one is coming, you’re the help You gotta stay up, let them rest You gotta hit it on your chest
I was lost in my thoughts long before I got a new map You can never feel old when you’re tryna be a new man Talk to me nice, Alapomeji on a few tracks Gosh, I’m alive, tell me why I no go give thanks
For instance, I got to realize my existence I’m a businessman, so you can call me up for business Consistently, I’m ****ing up my consistence I gotta make it out Calculating in my system
I wanna be on top I’m gonna be on top I don’t only get to say it Amma put in all the work Say prayers to the Lord Pay attention to the dogs We gon’ make it through the night And you know we gonna pop
