Topaz Jones – Powerball lyrics
[Verse 1: Topaz Jones]
Last night I had a dream I won the Powerball
Filthy stinkin' rich, more millions than you can shower off
Everybody shouting loud while the announcer counting off
Read the last number, neighbors running in from down the hall
Jumping, spilling alcohol, over my button down
Yeah, I'mma down it all, I'm about to bawl
Eyes was water fountains all night
Shit, I couldn't even sleep
Was too afraid of someone stealing my receipt
While I was dreaming
Woke up cocky, smoked a gotti
On the next thing steamin'
FaceTime with my momma and she beamin'
Told my grandmother that I got her
But I got to watch my cousins
Cause a couple of 'em already scheming
Damn shame, can't believe it
Somebody pinch me, am I still breathing?
Week ago I was in a pinch for dough, now I'm cheesing
I could save it for my unborn seed, let it blossom
But this green must've landed in my palms for a reason
Said...
[Pre-Hook: Topaz Jones & Leven Kali]
What's going on?
Nothing but the rent
Nothing but the rent
Nothing but the rent
Nothing but the rent, baby
What's going on?
Nothing but the rent
Nothing but the rent
Nothing but the rent
Oh—Oo-oh, Oo—Whoa
What's going on?
Nothing but the rent
Nothing but the rent
Nothing but the rent
Yeah! I said what is going on?
What's going on?
Nothing but the rent
Nothing but the rent
Nothing but the rent
[Hook: Topaz Jones & Leven Kali]
Everybody wanna have it all
But how you gonna get it?
If you're still waiting on the ball...
If you don't jump—how you gon' get down?
Owh-owh-Ooh-Ooh-owhh
If you don't jump—how you gon' get down?
Owh-owh-Ooh-Ooh-owhh
[Verse 2: Topaz Jones]
Let's get down to brass tacks, that's facts
Stack paper like I'm faxing it
I pull up, look like they took a laxative
Whiplashing 'em, it's 'bout to be an accident
Asking the realtor about cribs, how many of us can crash in it?
Never write a check that your ass can't cash in
But I came prepared, I got change to spare
Only thing scared bread ever did was turn stale
I graduated, all they gave me was a piece of paper
No good job, no goodbye, not even see you later
It's up in the air, say a prayer
That I land on some land, least an acre
And no more nights laying on the floor belly aching
Raking in the profit, bringing home the bacon
If I'm not mistaken (chyeah)
Skating on ice thin enough that I could break it
And ay, if you really want it all
Then what the fuck you waiting on?
I said...
[Pre-Hook: Topaz Jones & Leven Kali]
What's going on?
Nothing but the rent
Nothing but the rent
Nothing but the rent
Nothing but the rent, baby
What's going on?
Nothing but the rent
Nothing but the rent
Nothing but the rent
Oh—Oo-oh, Oo—Whoa
What's going on?
Nothing but the rent
Nothing but the rent
Nothing but the rent
Yeah! I said what is going on?
What's going on?
Nothing but the rent
Nothing but the rent
Nothing but the rent
[Hook: Topaz Jones & Leven Kali]
Everybody wanna have it all
But how you gonna get it?
If you're still waiting on the ball...
If you don't jump
