[Chorus] Chips up, tickin' on my wristwatch On the come up, I've been down but I'm up now I believe in better days I believe in better days (I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe) I've been on a mission to get it, I won't stop Grindin' like the world is mine, I won't stop I believe in better days I believe in better days [Verse] Bag secured, I know my worth, I need the upfront And no IOUs I need the first and the third and a month's worth of work I'm takin' the first plane to Paris I'm on the first-class flight, the high life, the go-getter I know that if I go hard, I'ma win Now, I'm in a new tax bracket The fast lane and back again They tryna get my paper like loose leaf But I got a whole army of crew deep We the ones that set the trends that you need We the ones who made a scene with the music From up top, they tellin' me, "Slow down" I've been makin' hits since a jit in a small town I was really gettin' to the bags in a small town The city, it was callin' me My dream was too big for the little leagues The big leagues was callin' me [Chorus] Chips up, tickin' on my wristwatch On the come up, I've been down but I'm up now I believe in better days I believe in better days (I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe) I've been on a mission to get it, I won't stop Grindin' like the world is mine, I won't stop I believe in better days I believe in better days [Verse 2] I know it's comin' my way, know it's comin' my way I had to pay the cost to be the boss, I know it wasn't easy I put my heart and soul in this music, you gotta believe me I've been livin' out my dreams and everything that I've been seein' I seen it in my mind, it was all in due time And I knew Now I’m countin’ blessings, they addin’ to my investments Came from the bottom, I turned the pain to a weapon Every setback was a setup for the lesson Now the ceiling lookin’ more like suggestions I’m in the zone, can’t break my focus Vision too clear, I manifest what I notice Put the work in, never needed no shortcut Earned every stripe, every win, every gold rush [Bridge] Better days ahead, I can feel it in the air Took the long road there, but the throne’s my chair I was dreamin’ when they doubted, now they all declare That the fire in my soul put the crown right there [Chorus] Chips up, tickin' on my wristwatch On the come up, I've been down but I'm up now I believe in better days I believe in better days (I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe) I've been on a mission to get it, I won't stop Grindin' like the world is mine, I won't stop I believe in better days I believe in better days
