Songtext Look at me now Emilio Rojas

Look at me now

They told me not to cave under pressure, be brave under pressure
All I wanted was my face inside a frame on the dresser
They told me that only if I switched lanes, it'd be better
But I finally broke the chains of the game, my oppressor
Made a mistake and I got hitched to a Canadian, half-Iranian
Crazy bitch so she could get her papers with, daddy was crazy rich
I should've made him pay for it, at a rate of 20
K inside a safe
It would've made my rent, that would've made a dent
That would've made it worth it, I could've made him mute
And that would've made it perfect, I wonder what would happen now
If immigration heard this, would they haul my ass away
The next day while I was working? Now that's what I call
Leaving on the high y'all, I'm flying out when I ball
Like buying out the sky mall, while y'all are stopping at your problems
Instead of switching grinds, tripping over hurdles and sprinting over that finish line

They said I never would make it, I was the one they counted out
Look at how far I could take it, I'm in the sky, would you look at me now?
Look at me now, look at me now, yeah

I be in and out of court still, living out of sorts
And I'm tripping 'cause this shit's a contradiction of my morals
I'm systematically letting the system have it
And getting them bitches moving like I was in human trafficking
When Green give me that green light, I'm going in
And I'm moving fans so much that they getting motion sick
But I'm emotionless, ain't nobody cold as this
You saying you as dope as me, homie, I think you hoping it
I'm focusing on just one thing, y'all hoping I'm bringing that city back
Like I'm Lebron but I only want rings, I'm cavalier and I spit heat
And this week, I'mma get the cash for a chandelier like I hit peak
I'm getting mines, me and winning is intertwined
At any step, I could blow, it's like I'm walking on mines
While y'all are stopping at your problems instead of switching grinds
Tripping over hurdles and sprinting over that finish line

They said I never would make it, I was the one they counted out
Look at how far I could take it, I'm in the sky, would you look at me now?
Look at me now, look at me now, yeah

Emilio supplying that real shit, if you look me in my eyes
You could feel it, all my frenimies, they tried to conceal it
Revelations ain't the ending, it's the time for revealing
They envious, they eyes have been peeling, snakes shed skin
To blow, I'll escape from New York like I'm Snake Plissken
I'm staring in at the city, know I'm committed
The voice of my generation and now, they starting to listen

They said I never would make it, I was the one they counted out
Look at how far I could take it, I'm in the sky, would you look at me now?
Look at me now, look at me now, yeah
