Rickie B. - How Bout' Now (feat. Luke Wynn) Lyrics

Sometimes I think about way back
When I first had started
I needed advice
And I ain't receive nothin

I realized right then
Wrong vibes, don't mean
You ain't good enough to be
Something

See That something
Was bigger than what I imagined
The ones I went to
Were the same artists that feared my talent

Eventually my brothers had adhered to me
They said keep yo head up
We gon teach ya
Just be patient

This road that we teach most don't make it
We not here to hand you every trait
It's yo job to research so I gave it my all
And made my purpose to be the greatest

I'm still on this road
Though I've improved a lot
I still have a thousand levels to go

And legend has it
Yo progression's so quick
You just see the end result of evidence

Evidently yo improvements
Measured by the scale of likes
Impressions and the shares you get
Not only social media but them checks you get

I ain't rich, but the grind savvy
I Made a couple moves
To get some radio play
These people wasn't happy

They said it was impossible
Without content
Three years without a tape
And I'm still on

So just imagine when I graduate
And find time to work all day
Without the pressure
Of being a scholar

I'll make leaps like running backs
On the one yard line
Or like catching a Hail Mary
From Aaron Rodgers (touchdown)

And I ain't even finished
Now until forever
I won't fantasize bout my riches

Get up work invest
Until I grant tithes to the kids
Culture, Music Business, Hip Hop
Save Lives of a billion

God is my witness
God is my inspiration
First thing I do is pray
And then I thank Christ for the vision

If you ain't wit me then deuces
Twos up throw one down
F a nuisance
I'll rise up despite all this bull (yea)

You all you ever needed
See they like to knock down
When you startin'

Pick yo head up
Keep yo success as a secret
Let em sleep and let yo grind
Do the talking

Head up
Just let yo grind do the talking
Know yo worth and don't you ever
Put that price down

Cuz one day you'll realize
You've made it
And to all them haters say

How Bout Now
(Cuz I'm up right now)
(Said I'm up right now)

Say How Bout Now
(Cuz I'm up right now)
(Said I'm up right now)

How Bout Now
(Said I'm up right now)
(Said I'm up right now)

How Bout Now
(Because I'm up right now)
(Said I'm up right now)

(Yah) They confused
Because I'm workin nine to five
I'm making moves
That's just money during out of time

To tell the truth
I'm only messing a couple of people
Cuz where I'm headed
Requires I minimize

All distractions
Haters hitting me up
Ask me how I'm doing
I just tell them haters we up

You see us
I'm in a toaster oven bout to heat up
When I'm popping
Only real ones finna eat up (uh)

There's a gap between us
We swimming in hell
Overlapping demons

God at the helm
So we laughing because
You trynna stop us
But attacking Jesus

And what's a slur to a guy
That doubt me then say
I'm never Skrrt
To the Tide

But you gon be the first to applaud
Then imma naw
And hit reverse and abide (Yah)

You all you ever needed
See they like to knock down
When you startin'

Pick yo head up
Keep yo success as a secret
Let em sleep and let yo grind
Do the talking

Head up
Just let yo grind do the talking
Know yo worth
And don't you ever put that price down

Cuz one day you'll realize
You've made it
And to all them haters say

How Bout Now
(Cuz I'm up right now)
(Said I'm up right now)

Say How Bout Now
(Cuz I'm up right now)
(Said I'm up right now)

How Bout Now
(Said I'm up right now)
(Said I'm up right now)

How Bout Now
(Because I'm up right now)
(Said I'm up right now)
