Gifted Songtext
von Cordae

Livin′ out my dream, my life is different (different)
If I want it, then I'ma get it (get it)
Living every day like it was Christmas
′Cause I'm gifted (ah, ah, ah)
And I know what my gift is (ah, ah, ah)
And I know that I'm gifted (ah, ah, ah)
And I know what my gift is (ah, ah, ah)
′Cause I′m gifted

Uh, I got a whole lotta people that's been countin′ on me
Got this bad lil' shawty goin′ down on the D
I met shorty and we connected like the WiFi
Hopped in the Phantom, disappeared like, "Voilà"
I told niggas that I would make it, they said, "No way"
Watch them niggas that might eat up off of your plate
They caught me slidin' on the E-Way with the heat on the seat
I got tennis chains with crosses but I still keep a piece


See, I was 12 years with the Tommy fit
15, crankin′ "Bobby Bitch"
I was 17 years on this Earth
When I popped a Perc', made my body itch
Need a pound of blow when I'm drownin′ slow
I was down below, word to Roddy Ricch
We was slap-boxin′, no Karate Kid
Start to see the difference with a lotta shit

And my grandma got a lotta kids
Bought whips foreign, no mileages
Hit Saks Fifth and got a Prada fit
But I still got a lotta wallet

Shit, nigga, this the shit that I asked for
'Member last year I was mad poor
Seen my momma cry over homicides
Now she down to fly, she got a passport
And my brother locked for a backdoor
Got my grandma a new Jaguar
Big body whips like Shaq car

No credit, check, straight cash, card
Nigga, no stress, I progress
That′s Mos Def like Black Star
Seen the future in my Audemars
Stack paper, don't do no facade


Uh, I got a whole lotta people that′s been countin' on me
Got this bad lil′ shawty goin' down on the D
I met shorty and we connected like the WiFi
Hopped in the Phantom, disappeared like, "Voilà"
I told niggas that I would make it, they said, "No way"
Watch them niggas that might eat up off of your plate
They caught me slidin' on the E-Way with the heat on the seat
I got tennis chains with crosses but I still keep a piece

Livin′ out my dream, my life is different (different)
If I want it, then I′ma get it (get it)
Living every day like it was Christmas
'Cause I′m gifted (ah, ah, ah)
And I know what my gift is (ah, ah, ah)
And I know that I'm gifted (ah, ah, ah)
And I know what my gift is (ah, ah, ah)
′Cause I'm gifted

Uh, I got a whole lotta people that′s been countin' on me
Got this bad lil' shawty goin′ down on the D
I met shorty and we connected like the WiFi
Hopped in the Phantom, disappeared like, "Voilà"
I told niggas that I would make it, they said, "No way"
Watch them niggas that might eat up off of your plate
They caught me slidin′ on the E-Way with the heat on the seat
I got tennis chains with crosses but I still keep a piece
