Lyrics

Hook x2: I wanna ride, top back, You wanna by my side, can’t knock that The world’s mine, I’m looking in the mirror And picturing the stage, my life, a new era It’s all good, they just watching me get mine A young boss, I just constantly kick rhyme And I’m just telling myself…man it’s all you Pump up the volume, pump up the volume Verse 1: Turn me up, Listen close Laveau speaking, Soul seeking, everytime I boast And everytime you hear me, I’m closer to my dream Just tryna find my niche and stay posted on the scene I can’t believe my eyes, the game’s wide open I’m looking all around, they stay high hoping Developing my platform and work on my ascension I’m comin for the throne, the center of attention A game seven hustle, a ninth inning grind About to go like Jeremy Lin, hijack the headlines So I’m focused oh yes…as my pals will say We all working for rent money and Sallie Mae I went to B school, guess my mind’s biased I’m driven by financial success but not defined by it It’s my vision, and my pain, my strife And all together here’s a slice, of my life Hook x2: I wanna ride, top back, You wanna by my side, can’t knock that The world’s mine, I’m looking in the mirror And picturing the stage, my life, a new era It’s all good, they just watching me get mine A young boss, I just constantly kick rhyme And I’m just telling myself…man it’s all you Pump up the volume, pump up the volume Verse 2: Man I learned that this game funny We break backs just to get that champagne money But to be honest, I’m balancing my budget Just tryna keep my head above water, you gotta love it It’s simply human nature Cuz we were taught accumulate the fruits of our labor Depressing thoughts lurking, we struggle to survive While working through this maze from the rubble to the sky The trouble is the lies, I see the smoke and mirrors A bunch of sellouts, they not defending what is dearest It’s 2012, people say the world is gonna end And if so, I gotta leave you with a couple gems Some wisdom and some peace of mind, you seeking nothing less My reach I must confess, barely sleep as I progress It’s my vision, and my pain, my strife And all together here’s a slice, of my life Hook x2: I wanna ride, top back, You wanna by my side, can’t knock that The world’s mine, I’m looking in the mirror And picturing the stage, my life, a new era It’s all good, they just watching me get mine A young boss, I just constantly kick rhyme And I’m just telling myself…man it’s all you Pump up the volume, pump up the volume Verse 3: Just saw my homies in New York City And man I swear one day I’m bringing them on tour with me Enjoying paradise sipping fine wine But now we gotta work, Chamillionaire grind time And no I’m not a kid anymore, I’m a man Just chasing dreams that began playing in the band I’m not a rebel, think I’m just playing on another level You never knew me? Somebody should’ve told ya Laveau’s reppin NOLA, grew up on raps from Magnolia The plan is emerge, get an offer And slowly build a buzz then I serge(surge) like Ibaka My ex-girls tryna get in touch but I pass ‘em up Too busy focused on this future that I’m crafting…fuck It’s my vision, and my pain, my strife And all together here’s a slice, of my life Hook x2: I wanna ride, top back, You wanna by my side, can’t knock that The world’s mine, I’m looking in the mirror And picturing the stage, my life, a new era It’s all good, they just watching me get mine A young boss, I just constantly kick rhyme And I’m just telling myself…man it’s all you Pump up the volume, pump up the volume
