Lyrics of 'When I Get On (feat. Akon)' by Rock City

Woah-oh woah-oh woah-oh

Rock City

[Verse 1:]
My gift, my curse
I'm a put it all out in one verse
So I'm a start by asking niggas what's worse
Goin to a 9-5 grindin till I get it, get that
You should know, why I do it for
Cause I don't ever wanna go back to being broke
I don't ever wanna go back to the third floor
8c, Apartment 224
So I don't drink, and I don't smoke
Don't get sleep, nah I just work
Me and my brother we been doin this since knee high
But ain't nobody checkin for niggas in V.I
So we fly, I mean we flew
Into Georgia, and we made plans to
Get heard, and be seen
Put on for our city by any means

[Chorus:]
Thinking bout what's been goin wrong,
Wonderin when my time's gonna come
I paid the cost, and worked real hard
So I can't wait til I get on

When it's my turn to be the boss,
I'm a show these niggas who put me off
That I'm a don, the only one
So I can't wait til I get on

I'm a lose my mind if I don't get on,
It's why I grind til I get on,
Cause I'm gon shine when I get on,
So I can't wait til I get on

Push these rides when I get on,
Skip these lines when I get on,
I'm a be king when I get on,
So I can't wait til I get on

[Verse 2:]
I do the blame,
In this oversaturated game
When everything I'm hearin is really soundin the same
If we lose you know who they gon blame
Us- for not doin a song with T-Pain
Or even Akon, or any big names
Spit it like Jeezy, Kanye, or Lil Wayne
And I'm a fan of em all but the fact still remains
That I won't, cause we tryna create our own lane
I swear to God that I won't never change
I refuse to compromise and be a victim of the game
I"m speakin from the heart so the world can feel my pain
Told you I don't care about the fame
I'm like a new Jay-Z with a Virgin Islands swag
An A-town bounce with the Virgin Islands flag
Pardon me if I brag, but see we ain't never had
Wake the neighbors, tell them haters that we came to make them mad

And I've been-

[Chorus:]
Thinking bout what's been goin wrong,
Wonderin when my time's gonna come
I paid the cost, and worked real hard
So I can't wait til I get on

When it's my turn to be the boss,
I'm a show these niggas who put me off
That I'm a don, the only one
So I can't wait til I get on

I'm a lose my mind if I don't get on,
It's why I grind til I get on,
Cause I'm gon shine when I get on,
So I can't wait til I get on

Push these rides when I get on,
Skip these lines when I get on,
I'm a be king when I get on,
So I can't wait til I get on

I'm a lose my mind,
No matter what we won't come behind,
I'm a rise from the bottom to the top
One day, swear that it's never gonna stop me,
No way, and I don't care what those haters got
To say, swear that I'm gonna make it big

[Chorus:]
Thinking bout what's been goin wrong,
Wonderin when my time's gonna come
I paid the cost, and worked real hard
So I can't wait til I get on

When it's my turn to be the boss,
I'm a show these niggas who put me off
That I'm a don, the only one
So I can't wait til I get on

I'm a lose my mind if I don't get on,
It's why I grind til I get on,
Cause I'm gon shine when I get on,
So I can't wait til I get on

Push these rides when I get on,
Skip these lines when I get on,
I'm a be king when I get on,
So I can't wait til I get on

I'm a lose my mind if I don't get on,
Wonderin when my time's gonna come
Wait til I get on

When it's my turn to be the boss
I'm a be king when I get on
Wait til I get on
