So what does ranks to riches mean to you? What does ranks to riches mean to me? It means progression. It's more about ambition and success than it is about rich and poor. So by having a vision, a dream
I'll go, I'm going after it. You might be a trainee at MacDonald's or Burger King and after 2 years, you're the manager. You might be on the road and your land does a half a day and after a couple months on 2 zets you might be a single mom working 2 jobs paying for more hours in a day and you still manage to graduate uni, you could be anything. Just as long as you want more than you have in your current situation you need to go get it. Cause stress and money usually goes hand in hand but everyone has different talents and skills just not a time for there's no shit amount of money to represent you. I suppose it's just a state of mind. Some people got it and some people just don't.

Since young, fly & reckless was in I've been searchin' for somethin'
Getting money, makin' it fast cause I'm making the brag for me
From the day that I opened my eyes I had the hustler's ambition
A lot of niggas out here would kill just to be in my position

Now I just wanna get high (so high), get high (so high)
I just wanna get so high (so high), so we end at the moon (so high)
Now I just wanna get high (so high), get high (so high)
I just wanna get so high (so high), so we end at the moon (so high)

Came in again with my Jones, I ain't even need Bridget Hoffet
These niggas don't even know what it is
Tryna get my music out to the states
And reality tryna get outta my mind, is all them by a pace
Single no. 3 and now I finally turn to gold
All I was trying to do is show these niggas how we roll
Grew up in them dirty streets where goons will take your watch
I'll roundup all the family, surely will leave you shocked
Girls tryna act cold before they heard the heat
Now they all want a piece of the wheat
Was a beast before I ever considered Sony as a major
And now I'm blowing up and I'm major

Now I've got and gone crazy, run around sayin' they love me
Just lookin' for a bad bitch to fuck me, that'd be lovely
No lenses for these frames, I'm just tryna see clear
Never got to see my dada, ma wish she could see me here
But I'm gonna make him check up long as I'm here
I'm just tryna be a billionaire, a tycoon in my own right
No high, I just want this for my own life
You get me? You feel me?
They won't see you as a king until you're sitting on the throne
I put some blood up in this stone, I'll make you see just how it glows
R to R and the peesh, yea
I rep my team usually when I'm gone at the sea

Young, Fly Reckless (So High)
