Lyrics
You want your privacy come on and ride with me
turn your phone off anotehr level of silence please
Want to be the boss must understand it comes with a sacrifice
Want to ever not look over your shoulder but still be nice
try to bring your folk along some can’t come with you
they blame others for setback, they their worst Issue
will never grow past what held ‘em back as kids
when you grown, be accountable you choose how you live
wait for others to see your greatness, you grow resentful
expect others to make you famous, makes you vengeful
Don’t give your energy others give your best to
yourself
been the best method I found to increasing your own wealth
CHORUS
What's the cost to be the boss
Its free to own it all
there's a charge to be in charge
so watch you weight don't get too large
so you really want to be a star
and let the world know who you are
be careful cause you can't watch it all
what was close has gone too far.
2nd verse
You want your privacy come on and ride with me
Your phone still off kid don't want the feds citing me
everyone you help won’t be selfless, the path for most selfish
they get on, prove loyalty, then tell you about your business
when people kiss your ass, they probably want to take your spot
don’t down your effort when its your genius that made you hot
What you did some will try to do it for another
Watch that one that’s gone jump ship when options uncovered
as the saying goes, when someone treats you like an option
don’t prioritize them they gone be the first lost
one
that will have to learn on their own, and you knew they weren’t ready
to fly solo, but false starts cost you yards play
steady
CHORUS
3rd verse
You want your privacy come on and ride with me
Look how long your phone been off, that's a sign of peace
don’t lead something to feel important philosophy
some think they leaders need attention hypocrisy
those people that want to join something they bother me
when advice given isn’t advice taken hypocrisy
those that want to be a boss make me nervous
true leadership is not control its about service
those that want control what’s your motive
those that talk bout others, they’ll never notice
watch your steps, leadership has no mythology
Got to be true to yourself Shad's philosophy
CHORUS
