Down Payment

[Verse 1: Stik Figa]

It's Stik Figa mayne, yeah I'm clearing it up

Had to give it to them straight, they don't hear it enough

It's all bad for these the suckers, ain't no cheering them up

A bunch of curious thugs dripping their period blood

Prefer fear over love when really we big winners

Ain't a dollar to my name, willing to split dinners

Be it, lobster champagne, dollar menus or chicken tenders

Ride till the wheels fall or we off in the Earth's center

And I don't dis niggas, instead, I dismember

Discharge this weapon, disfigure, dissenters

Get with that or get with this, get with the big picture

Don't stop, don't quit until we get to the six figures

Mess around and get injured, considered dirty and dingy

And when I kick a verse it's worth every penny

So reach into your purse whether major or indie

Everybody ain't gonna love me, they won't get me, but look

[Chorus: Stik Figa]

I'm just trying to tell them what I know

Tell them where I been, tell them where I'm trying to go

Man look, I'm just trying to tell them what I know

Tell them where I been, tell them where I'm trying to go

When there's money to make, yeah, there's money to get

Money to take, yeah there's money to flip

Gotta take a risk scared money don't win

Trying to get the quiet money so stop running your lips

[Verse 2: Elzhi]

Money didn't change me, neither success, only the fake friends

That quick to toot their own horns, I'd rather make bands

That's music to my ears for years ending on a sour note

Like off-key lime powder that's awfully prime time

Push down your throat, so you can get a taste of what I been through

Biting through the tune no fact or act to

Pretend you were in my New Balances while experiencing verticle

Way above your head 'cause your ankles were angled vertical

When you see where the scandal at but

What if you couldn't put your finger on how things got out of hand how could you handle that?

Hater that could make a waiter bend a spoon at lunch while you shoot for the stars but put a crater in the moon, damn

Wish I could say that I was aiming high at my lowest point

To when I fell short I had to blow this joint

Or similar to liquor just to feel buzzworthy

All because ever bar that's been thrown at me was curvy

[Chorus: Stik Figa]

I'm just trying to tell them what I know

Tell them where I been, tell them where I'm trying to go

Man look, I'm just trying to tell them what I know

Tell them where I been, tell them where I'm trying to go

When there's money to make, yeah, there's money to get

Money to take, yeah there's money to flip

Gotta take a risk scared money don't win

Trying to get the quiet money so stop running your lips

[Verse 3: Stik Figa]

You see as time goes on it seems that I'm less eager

Guess experience is really the best teacher

They say time's money, but you ain't invest either

So I had to go get it, can't wait on the Tech feature

Never had a lot, I never got a lot to lose

Everybody thirsty and really they ain't got the juice

And everyone an expert but really they ain't got a clue

I'm nothing like 'Pac, I'm probably more like Posdnuos

Struck gold, I don't know if I'm getting close

Play position was never fitting into a role

One of one, maybe one day you get a clone

Just know that eagles don't fit in pigeon holes

Eat crow I never rode on a coat tail

And watch close they, really hope that your boy fail

I been dope, they been lame so 'oh well'

And hope floats so fuck fame, that boat sailed

[Chorus: Stik Figa]

I'm just trying to tell them what I know

Tell them where I been, tell them where I'm trying to go

Man look, I'm just trying to tell them what I know

Tell them where I been, tell them where I'm trying to go

When there's money to make, yeah, there's money to get

Money to take, yeah there's money to flip

Gotta take a risk scared money don't win

Trying to get the quiet money so stop running your lips
