Empty Stomach

by Caden of California

on Empty Stomach (2020)

[Verse 1]
It's hard falling asleep
On a empty stomach
Pockets got some loose change
Not a couple hundreds
Start to get on edge
When I know the rents comin'
Check my kitchen
For some bread and a couple onions
Now I'm scratching my head
‘Cause this shit got me wondering
The world's a vampire
Bitch and I been smashing pumpkins
Better listen close
I ain't got no time for questions
I've been living broke
But it's time that fucking ended
Watch me come in clutch
Like this shit a stick shift
Yeah this shit lit
Hoping this shit
Get me rich quick
But I ain't talkin' ‘bout no pyramid scheme
I'm just scheming
Thinking ‘bout building some pyramids, 3
I'm ‘bout as Ill as can be
Bitch I'm as real as they come
So how come
I got the gas
But still be lacking the funds
Until my dad told me son
On day
You gonna have to get
Your priorities straight
I'm like okay okay
This time I take what I want
This time I'm playing for keeps
So if you betting against
Boy best be dressed for the heat
Cause I'm unleashing the dog
Like he was let off the leash
And I be lighting ‘em up
Like there was gas in the lean

[Chorus]
It's hard to sleep
It's hard to sleep on an empty stomach
It's hard to sleep
It's hard to sleep on an empty stomach

[Verse 2]
This shit hot
Like it's poppin' out the
French press
Closet full of hand me downs
But I'm still the best dressed
Watch me raise the bar
Steady with a bench press
Heavy with the hard hits
Comin' for your margins
Profit centers
I'm off the top like I forgot the premise
Off the top like what you tell the stylist
Not your fucking dentist
On adventures
Watch me move in silence
Plot it thickens
Your shit be smelling like rotting pig skins
I be on a mission
Imma start a business
I don't need a mission statement
I will not be beat
Tell my nana I'm the greatest
I don't need a handout
Or an investment
Tell the bank that
I'm a man now
Collecting my checkings
Mama told me
I should always try to
Count up my blessings
But right now
I'm just focused on
Counting up all the credits
I ain't counting on no one
I do it all independent
Gotta watch what I'm spending
Gotta hop on this engine
I ain't tryna miss the train
It ain't leaving without him
Cause this boy got the vision
But yours been hella clouded
Yeah bitch I'm living broke
I got a feeling it's changing
Strategize my every move
And I've been practicing patience

[Chorus]
It's hard to sleep
It's hard to sleep on an empty stomach
It's hard to sleep
It's hard to sleep on an empty stomach

[Outro Chorus]
It's hard to sleep
It's hard to sleep on an empty stomach
It's hard to sleep
It's hard to sleep on an empty stomach
Didn't see this comin' did ya?
