Lyrics

Ay, ay, ay, I’m levelin’ up (Levelin’ up)
Too much was never enough (Never enough)
If I said it was up, then it’s what? (Stuck)
Stuck there, yeah
And I got Ed in the cut
He gon’ shoot like he Steph in the clutch (Clutch)
I’m levelin’, levelin’, levelin’

Oh, god damn, that nigga levelin’ up
I was just down on my luck
They said I would never come up
Look at me now, wealthy as fuck
My nigga, I’m levelin’ up
Huh!
I’m levelin’, levelin’, levelin’, levelin’

[Verse]
Fresh out of county, they had me in stripes
They wanna feed me with sedatives
No, I’m not a pharmaceutical company; I don’t be pedalin’ medicine
I got a whole new gameplan, I’m doin’ numbers like Rain Man
How many years I’ve been dope, man?
I said fuck it and started a weed brand
And I’m connected like Edison, ay
Meeting with African presidents, ay
I got a plan for the continent, ay
They cannot damage my confidence, ay
I’m overseas, I want all the B’s, a nigga not talkin’ ’bout consonants
My people are victims of capitalism; I know this shit all about marketing

(Level, level, level, level)
Ugh, levelin’, levelin’, levelin’, levelin’
Everything done with longevity
Niggas can take a mug shot, but they can’t get ahead of me
Savemoney the brand, the label, ay
Savemoney the army, the naval, ay
I just pulled off in a demon, the spirits so high, I be talkin’ to angels
Wooh

Ay, ay, ay, I’m levelin’ up
These niggas ain’t ready for us
Chain hanging, it’s heavy as fuck
Yeah, yeah
I got the MAC in the tuck
I’ma shoot it like Steph in the, what?
I’m levelin’, levelin’, levelin’
