Whiplash - Kero One

Post alma mater

Trying to get dollars

Right out of college

With a collar on starving

Like Ramadan for something solid

I'm getting off work about 8 pm

Grab a little bite and embrace a pen

Make a couple beats inside my den

Wake up in the a m do it all again

Friends I had them but they too busy chasing them ladies

Money gone what a con when drinks equals Mercedes

I'd rather demolish a song

I made in two nights with a

New mic from not getting my baller on

Smashing into the scene with my flow

They blasting my beats in headphones

Packing up seats in each row

Cause passion is unleashed each show

(Wake up )

And that's when I snapped out of

A dream in a corporate meeting

(Wake up ) drooling snoozing

Heavy breathing forget it I'm leaving

Yo boss I'm going to take off

This evening to enjoy the weekend

Maxing out CC's crafting CD's until I'm eating

Even if my tanks on "E" and the banks own me

With that 20% APR my graveyard through laboring

Whiplash whiplash

Energy out it got to come back

Whiplash whiplash

Energy out it got to come back

Whiplash whiplash

Energy out it got to come back

Whiplash whiplash

Energy out it got to come back

Sometimes I drop to my knees

Praise God who set my soul free

But I never got a spoon feed

Hustling like its all on me

With an appetite that's out of sight

Like every night just grabbed the mic

Burned demos instrumentals

Self assembled in my bedroom

Stacks of CD's passed 'em freely

Play on TV wasn't easy

No Youtube

To allow you or school you with how to's none to teach me

Feel me asking every homie if they'd film me but don't bill me

My video budget was rubbish

Publicists would milk me

Emptied my pockets silly really nonetheless we needed press

CD's were pressed

Off my own debt no regrets to kill me

Keeping it professional

At all times when I was small time

From call times to interviews of

All kinds even those that grilled me

Fundamentally its that energy I

Put out that made enemies or friends to me

Propelling me up with more feet then a centipede

Sending me towards finer things from flyering my own

Shows to inspiring those aspiring to go pro with flows bro

Whiplash whiplash energy out it got to come back

Whiplash whiplash

Energy out it got to come back

Whiplash whiplash

Energy out it got to come back

Whiplash whiplash

Energy out it got to come back

Whiplash whiplash
