[Verse 1]
EmYeah I was born a misfit, grew up ten miles from the town of Ipswich
Wanted to make it big, I Dwished it to existence
I Emnever was a sick kid, always dismissed quick
“Stick to singing, stop Drappin’ like it’s Christmas”
And Emif you’re talkin’ money then my conversation’s shiftin’
Cmaj7My dreams are bigger than just bDein’ on the rich list
EmMight be insanity but people call it gifted
My Cmaj7face is goin’ numb from the Dshit this stuff is mixed with
EmWatch how the lyrics in the songs might get twisted
My Cmaj7wife wears red but looks beDtter without the lipstick
I’m Ema private guy and you know nothin’ ’bout my business
And Cmaj7if I had my fifteen miDnutes, I must’ve missed them
EmTwenty years old is when I came in the game
And now it’s Cmaj7eight years on and you reDmember the name
And if you Emthought I was good, well then I’m better today
But it’s iCmaj7ronic how you people thought I’d Dnever be great
I like my Emshows open air, Tokyo to Delaware
Put your Cmaj7phones in the air if you Dwanna be rocked
You know I Emwant way more than I’ve already got
N.C.
Give me a song with Eminem and 50 Cent in the club
[Chorus 1]
You know it Emain’t my time to call it a day
I wanna Cmaj7crack on and I Bm7wanna be paid
But it’s Em’bout time you remember the name
Eh-Cmaj7ay, eh-Bm7ay
You know it Emain’t my time to call it a day
I wanna Cmaj7crack on and I Bm7wanna be paid
But it’s Em’bout time you remember the name
Eh-Cmaj7ay, eh-Bm7ay (hey, hey, hey)
[Verse 2]
EmI can still remember (what) tryna shop a deal (ah-huh)
From Taco Bell to T-DR-L
I climb the BillEmboard charts to the top until as fate would have it (yeah)
Became an addict, fuDnny ‘cause I had pop appeal
EmBut they said time would tell (what?)
If I'd prevail (Cmaj7huh?) and all I did was (Dwhat?)
Put nine inch nails (Emwhere?), in my eyelids now (what?)
N.C.
I'm seein' diamond sales, like I'm in Zales
Without a doubt by Emany means, if rap was skinny jeans
I couldn't do anything Cmaj7in 'em, I'd be splitting seams of Ddenim when I'm spitting schemes
Which Emreally means no ifs, ands or buts are squeezin' in between
You Cmaj7sleep on me 'cause you're only Dfuckin’ with me in your dreams
EmNot even when I’m even on my deathbed
Man I feel Cmaj7like Ed, it isn't time to Ddrop the mic yet
So why wEmould I quit, the thought that I would stop when I'm dead
Just popped iCmaj7n my head, I said it then forDgot what I said
[Chorus 2]
It isn't Emmy time to call it a day
I got Cmaj7rap blocked and I’m Bm7already paid
But it’s Em’bout time you remember the name
Eh-Cmaj7ay, eh-Bm7ay
You know Emit ain’t my time to call it a day
I got Cmaj7rap blocked and I’m Bm7already paid
But it’s Em’bout time you remember the name
Eh-Cmaj7ay, eh-Bm7ay
[Verse 3]
EmAin’t nobody cold as me, I dress so fresh, so Dclean
You can find me Emin my whip, rockin’ my Fendi drip
Man you know just what I mDean
Shinin’ Emwrist with the rocks on it, Buscemis with locks on it
EveryCmaj7thing my voice on, Dthis shit knock, don't it?
BaEmlenciaga saga, I'm in Bergdorf ballin'
It’s Cmaj7just another episode, my Dhoes, I spoil ‘em
EmShe like the fly shit and I like to buy shit
Shit Cmaj7I’m gettin’ stupid money, what Delse we gon’ do with money?
EmBitch we be ballin’ now, the king bring you 50 bottles
ToCmaj7night we gon’ blow a check, Dworry ’bout your shit tomorrow
The Emturn up be so real, we ’bout to be super lit
Cmaj7Boy I’m kickin’ straight facts, that’s Djust how we do this shit
ToEmmorrow we hangin’ over ’til we start feelin’ sober
Cmaj7N.C.
Then it’s time to start it over, here we go again
[Chorus 3]
You know it Emain’t my time to call it a day
I got Cmaj7rap blocked and I’m Bm7already paid
But it’s aEm-bout time you remember the name
Eh-Cmaj7ay, eh-Bm7ay
You know it Emain’t my time to call it a day
I got Cmaj7rap blocked and I’m Bm7already paid
But it’s Em’bout time you remember the name
Eh-Cmaj7ay, eh-Bm7ay
