Joey Bada$$ - Cruise Control (lyrics)

[Chorus]

Livin' in a world so cold

Keep a nigga on ten toes

Where I'm headin', only Lord knows

Said, "I'm droppin' my top down on cruise control"

[Verse 1]

Uh, thirty million by age thirty

Motivated to reach my goals, trust me, I ain't worried

'Bout weak-minded bitches and hoes

These low-life niggas who ain't got no self-control

Been feelin' hungry and they just ain't feedin' my soul

I had to let go a lotta people that I really thought were there for me

Were just in my way

Holdin' on the fact of what we used to be back in the day

Niggas ain't gon' meet me halfway, I ain't finna wait

Had to cut the dead weight just so I could elevate and levitate

Now lemme set the record straight

Every day, I meditate 'cause I'm the one they love to hate

Focus on the bigger picture, tryna find a better way

'Cause I ain't finna cut myself short

Money gettin' longer but happiness never been bought

The type of shit I'll teach to my daughter never was taught

To me when I was younger 'cause that shit wasn't even a thought

[Chorus]

Livin' in a world so cold (So cold)

Keep a nigga on ten toes (Ten toes)

Where I'm headin', only Lord knows

Said, "I'm droppin' my top down on cruise control"

Livin' in a world so cold (So cold)

Keep a nigga on ten toes (Ten toes)

Where I'm headin', only Lord knows

Said, "I'm droppin' my top down on cruise control"

[Post-Chorus]

Droppin' my top down on cruise control

Droppin' my top down on cruise control

[Verse 2]

It was all a dream, came in this at seventeen

Me and my Pro Era team focused on the better things

Tryna stack cheddar, C.R.E.A.M. rule everything, uh

Foot up on the pedal and never settlin'

I'm full steam ahead of them, ten-year veteran, how you figure?

Name a nigga that I ain't better than, my flow iller

Still it's the cure like medicine, the cold killer

Glock's tucked inside the letterman by Pro Era

I swear this shit couldn't be more clearer

It's like I'm lookin' through a whole mirror

I could see the vision so I live like it's my last day

And everything I want just tryna meet me halfway

I try to stay calm but niggas tryna blast me

The ski mask way, lookin' for a fast pay, so I stay

On the alarm, 'cause I ain't tryna go the fast way

It's a marathon, you can't treat it like a drag race

[Interlude]

Yo, what's your name again?

I know you from where? High school?

I don't know you, man

Loser!

[Chorus]

Livin' in a world so cold (So cold)

Keep a nigga on ten toes (Ten toes)

Where I'm headin', only Lord knows

Said, "I'm droppin' my top down on cruise control"

Livin' in a world so cold (So cold)

Keep a nigga on ten toes (Ten toes)

Where I'm headin', only Lord knows

Said, "I'm droppin' my top down on cruise control"

[Post-Chorus]

Droppin' my top down on cruise control ('trol, 'trol, 'trol, 'trol)

Droppin' my top down on cruise control ('trol, 'trol, 'trol, 'trol)

[Outro: Nas]

Ladies and gentlemen

Wise man, this man has age on him, like he's been here before

Yet he's a young king, ya heard?

Everybody in the back, quiet down, get ready for some real shit

I introduce to you a great one, you know him as Joey Bada$$
