They used to say
That I wasn't nothin'
But that's a double negative
So I guess they sayin'
That I'm somethin'
My flow is just mental man
On this instrumental, damn
So sweet, this single should come
With a dental plan
It was my mama that first predicted
I'm the Ish
That's the name
On my birth certificate
I've been struggling to long
Time to get my cash right
Media hatin' on
Cause I shine like a flashlight
But uh
Underrated and under appreciated
I'm tired of slavin'
And gettin' paid minimum wage
I'm tired of waitin' for it to happen
I gotta make it,
I'ma make my momma pround
The only son that made it
I'm tired of haters and dream killers
And nay-sayers and everything
They sayin' is garbage
I knew that I would
Make it regardless
Cause I'm the definition of artist
And this is what speakin'
From the heart is
CORY LEE:
Live as if you'll die today
Cause it maybe your last
You're never promised anything
So seize the day, seize the day
Seize the day
You're never promised anything
So seize the day
I've never been on the A-list
Always been the underdog
Just trying to make it
Trying to prove 'em wrong
When they said I ain't shit
But I know they just mad
Cause they ain't Ish
Got a sense of humor
But with money I'm never joking
Always been stubborn
And rules were made to be broken
So why I'll never listen to haters
Them hard hittin'
This talent that's God givin'
And I'ma make it all willing
And when they used to say
That I will make it they laugh
But I don't ever look back
I don't dwell in the past
I put a lot of effort
And perfect in my craft
And now I'm making sure
Every single record's a smash
I ain't just another brick in the wall
I don't blend in, I blend out
I stay different to ya'll
I'm aware that my limit's the stars
I started at the bottom
I ain't stoppin'
'Til the kid is in charge
CORY LEE:
Live as if you'll die today
Cause it maybe your last
You're never promised anything
So seize the day, seize the day
Seize the day
You're never promised anything
So seize the day
So if I don't make it home
Was on my grind, you better know
I never stopped
I did it all for you, for you
CORY LEE:
When I'm out there all alone
Working my fingers to the bone
Just know I did it all for you
For you, you, you
CORY LEE:
Live as if you'll die today
Cause it maybe your last
You're never promised anything
So seize the day, seize the day
Seize the day
You're never promised anything
So seize the day
