Vic Mensa - That Nigga Lyrics
[Intro]What do you do when your dreams really start to come true?[Verse 1]Every day can be a different state when you getting paid nightlyLet 'em throw salt, that's just the fire to the flame, that shit ignite meOh, don't you want an autograph? Give your daughter someI still keep my team on my back, cause that's where I started fromMy niggas know I got 'em if I ever got an obligationI read between the lies, see through the lies inside the conversationI been patient, I wrote this shit down in my momma basementShe just wanna retireI just wanna tell her she canLook back at her baby boy like damn that's one hell of a manTell her friends at work, repeat it and tell 'em againI'm yelling, "Yeah! Hell yeah! I got my foot on they neck"They might as well compare me to myself, I'm as good as it getsI think about my time with the band if I would've went back and did something differentNaw: I ain't trippin'I'm full speed ahead, schurr, watch I switch when I'm whippin'They used to call me Vic but now they just call me that nigga[Hook]Used to call me a *****ing failureI bet I'm looking familiar like damn he really that niggaI did itI bet your girl would be wit' it, she ain't used to know my name, now she just call me that niggaNow they just call me that niggaMatter fact, you could call me that niggaNaw, put my name in your phone "That Nigga"For real[Verse 2]That nigga, been a nigga forever, don't you remember?Toured with Disclosure in January, I'll be gone till NovemberI told my girl I'll move to Cali when I ain't had the rent upI might put 50k into options to out do nigga's incomeAnd y'all already know I wouldn't say it if I ain't really mean itMy dick tell 'em my name is big, ***** I'm Willie Beamin'Beam me up, Scottie, I been thinking of heaven, I been dreamin'With dreams may come trueJermaine tests my line, I was drivin' down 69thHe said, "It's Cole," I'm like, "What? Who?"It's J.Cole, nigga, I'm on tour and I want youSo shouts to No I.D. ***** the bullshitBetween me and you, you know you my niggaAnd ship know I'm that niggaIt's for everything, Tunchi, Millie Mil, and Hit-Boy, tooTrip, Dan, mom and dad, my famNatalie you my number uno, baby you know I'm your one tooSo you ain't gotta trip when *****es ask for a pictureThey be like, "Wait are you...[Hook 2]That nigga? (Yes I am)They told me that y'all be lonely, you know me I got homiesI guess that I'm just that nigga (Yes I am)Like I ain't work my ass off, had that cast on stage fresh out the hospital, my niggaLike anything is possible, my niggaThey just call me that niggaYou wanna know what, they just call me that nigga (Yes I am)[Outro]Yo, shout out to everybody that believed up 'til this point. I feel like I'm on top of the *****ing world right now. King Kong shit. I fell off a *****ing bridge. I got electrocuted by like thirty thousand volts of electricity. I was in the hospital for three nights, then got on a flight to New York to go meet with Atlantic Records the day I got out. I came back, I was on stage the day I got back with a cast on my arm. That's me. Save Money still alive. You know it's like nine months ago I was in such a different place, I was in a *****ing band and everything I had fell through the cracks right before my eyes. A lot of people probably didn’t think I’d still be on my feet after that, but the only thing you can count on in this life is change. This shit is dedicated to my pops for all those last minute flights. To Cody for putting up with my shit and doing everything you ain't wanna do to make this shit come to light. To Natalie for believeing in me when nobody else did. To Waxx and I'll America for helping me build the vision. To Kev and Peter Cottontale for making this shit a masterpiece. To Papi Beats for the late night sessions. What's left to say? Haven't I said it all? Did I sing enough songs for you? Thank you. Peace[Internet Skit]Vic! What you doin'? Get off the internet!
