Royce Da 5'9" - Independent'S Day lyrics

rate me

Yeah, yeah

Well it's the uhh, uhh, abbrevia-ated letter

Associated with meta-metapho-phores and cheddar cheddar

The C.O.D., the P.O.P.

The "cash on delivery" at the "point of purchase" - don't I be workin?

Heaven and hell is standin next to you at the same time

Cuttin into your playin time, keep playin (playin)

Most of my predictions is speculation based on the patience

I've developed hustlin, racin this check I'm chasin (chasin)

Sellin mixtapes to them albums from 30 to 50 thousand (wow)

It ain't no problem, I got it, my following got me (got me)

Long as I continue to spit poems to send you

niggaz back to the L-A-B; I'ma be sellin out venues

Be out at them venues, sellin that merch'

Shippin CD's overseas nigga we sellin that WORK

The Escrow crew - just ran by

the petro man select don't know who the check go to

Round here here.. round here, round here

Round here they call me independie

Cause of how independent my pen be

Movin on that paper, movin that paper

Uhh, uhh, round here, here, here

Round here they call me independie

Cause of how independent my pen be, uhh

We be on that paper like ink on that paper, uhh

You can call it the quickest winter, the unstoppable summer

The opposite of the apocalypse comin to popular

Wanna be poppin this gun he about to be doin some old

impossible Three-6 Mafia numbers, each quarter

like the Beach Boys or the Beatles, the Parliament globally

callin the shots explodin 'til 'Pac, roll all the way over

Respectfully hate me, you best to behave

I'm seven dollars a record makin heftier pay

Can you realize platinum artist buck by buck, is that what you say?

200 thousand sold compared to the average platinum rapper

couldn't afford, what I blow, on all my taxes

Cause I own, my own masters - own, my own catalogue

Ain't tryna be old talkin 'bout "Oh, I had it all"

So it's mo', money mo', albums - add 'em all

The scanner that seal is the reason

I feel like a man of steel still standin cause I'm still scannin

Y'know I always like to say that, this album is like a median

between "Death is Certain," and "Rock City"

But along that way, I manage to find my independence

So that's where we at right now

Royce Da 5'9", "Independent's Day"

Whattup Broady, you know'm talkin 'bout Broady?

Niggaz act like I ain't know they ass as I want to

These units will move, I will be on that TV screen

I will be ridin through a hood near you

Gettin some attention from yo' bitch, hahaha

M.I.C., oh yeah and we comin back again this year too

We not gon' be sittin out for long periods of time no more

So be on the look out for "July 5th"

Comin soon to a motherfuckin store near you

Round here, here, here..

"Let me see, two words to sum up my name in reality

Growth and patience, y'know they work hand-in-hand with each other

but at the same time they both deal with movin forward

I just try to keep some bits about myself 24 hours a day

Y'knowmsayin? I been through a lot

And if it's one thing I can say that I learned, it'll be stay bossy

I'm a boss, boss, boss.."
