NNGE (Never Not Getting Enough)

[Verse 1: Oddisee]

I mean what is there to fear?

I'm from black America, this is just another year

If you're new to disrespect by your elected puppeteers

Well let me show you how to persevere

Just get up every time somebody knock you down

And celebrate in front of people like they not around

And if they try to build a wall to keep you balling out of bounds

Use the bench they told you to warm to keep the fences knocking down

Shout out to latinos because hustling ain't illegal

We praying to the east or the father, we all are equal

But if parted they gon' progress in stopping us getting C-notes

Well let me ask the crowd, do one of y'all disagree?

This is for Chocolate City though I represent the county

Until your vote is counted, know I got you until I'm outy

It's all about the effort and I'm effortlessly fresher

If I'm preaching to the choir, know they're bound to get the lecture

It went from folks around me, pushing envelopes and boundaries

So you won't only hear me where you found me

I'm somewhere asking questions like "Can I be afforded the most?"

You better answer me with more than a "no"

Tryin' tell ya

[Chorus]

Ooh, never not getting enough

From this life that I'm leading and all I believe in y'all know, I ain't leaving I'm posted, like

Ooh, never not getting enough

From this life that I'm leading and all I believe in y'all know, I ain't leaving I'm posted, like

This is for the county and the areas surrounding

DC, Maryland and Virginia know I'm with you

[Verse 2: Toine]

What are you willing to let die first:

Your pride or your freedom?

The story of my life's inner conflict

It's like I follow my dreams

But how am I supposed to slide in the DM

On this mic, is what I'm trying accomplish

I used to do it for the fist bumps and applauses

But caring about respect started making me nauseous

You walk into a room, and bammas speak to you cautious

Like employees trying to figure out who the boss is

So now I just kick it for, the most divine

Working overtime

Sitting with an open bottle, looking for an open mind

Trying not to be aggressively jaded

Because I find myself just getting faded

And I know that ain’t quite me

I step up for whatever it might be

And RSVP when inspiration invite me

Because who else gonna look out for those who look like me Another disenfranchised boy in a white tee?

Come on, man!

[Chorus]

Ooh, never not getting enough

From this life that I'm leading and all I believe in y'all know, I ain't leaving I'm posted, like

Ooh, never not getting enough

From this life that I'm leading and all I believe in y'all know, I ain't leaving I'm posted, like

This is for the county and the areas surrounding

DC, Maryland and Virginia know I'm with you

[Verse 3: Oddisee]

All I know is love

I give it how I get it, I can never get enough

Sympathy to enemies 'cause hate ain't in my blood

And if you can't relate you've given up

I'm trying to make the most of it though

Getting close is a no

Want nothing lesser than a yes because it's suppose to be so

The cost of nothing's too low

My expectations too high

I'd rather die than be complacent with the way that it goes

Apathy is a disease and we're just steady sharing needles

Unaffected people carry evil

Ease is what we know

We've got to raise the bar though

The sorrows of today will give away to a tomorrow

So what's a week of paid leave

And empty promises of hiring

Just to fire me before retirement

I'm trying to make more in one day than 401K

So give me what you promised to pay

Because it's never enough

[Chorus]

Ooh, never not getting enough

From this life that I'm leading and all I believe in y'all know, I ain't leaving I'm posted, like

Ooh, never not getting enough

From this life that I'm leading and all I believe in y'all know, I ain't leaving I'm posted, like

This is for the county and the areas surrounding

DC, Maryland and Virginia know I'm with you
