August Alsina

Born and bred from the streets of New Orleans, Louisiana, enter into the game, 21-year-old August Alsina... With the love and hustle of the Crescent City running through his veins, August is eager to follow in the footsteps of the NOLA music legends that paved his way. His recently inked deal with Def Jam Recordings looks to be a great step in the right direction, but music wasn't always in his future. August learned at an early age that drugs and money could make you, or break you. With both his father and stepfather battling crack addiction, August's mother moved their family to Houston, Texas in search of a fresh start. But Houston provided no happy ending.

I never came quick, 'cause I'll never forgive me
I'm gettin' this paper, don't care if it kill me
I done came too far, can't turn back now
Jealousy, a hunnid million dollars in my bank account

Let's make a toast
To getting so much money, we can't spend it
All a nigga know is how to go 'til there's no more
Then go some more
I'm up so high, can't see the floor
And that's for sure
Give all that I got and then some more
Get all that I can and then get ghost

I remember when they said to keep my head up out the clouds and just be real
The music wouldn't be the way, I made it out, they doubt that I can make it still
I know some people really hate it to this day, to see I made it on my own
But I don't care, so they could feel a way
When they see the places that I'm goin'

If they hate then let 'em hate
It's gon' be okay
Gon' be on that paper chase
'Til me and my niggas straight
And if we ever took a loss
We learn from them all
I know they us bossin' up
Yeah, they see us floss

Can't live it down, they won't let me forget it
I came from nothin', nowhere I was headed
Back in the trap I ain't think I would make it
Now it's no lookin' back, they were mine for the takin'

Let's make a toast
To getting so much money, we can't spend it
All a nigga know is how to go 'til there's no more
Then go some more
I'm up so high, can't see the floor
And that's for sure
Give all that I got and then some more

I don't work for nobody but me (nobody else)
Nothin' that I got came easy
Had no choice but to believe
That he won't take me this far to leave me (yeah)
Lord knows how long that I've grinded
Had so many people tell me that I wouldn't make it but I didn't mind it
I would say

If they hate then let 'em hate (hate then let 'em hate)
It's gon' be okay (I'm gon' be okay)
Gon' be on that paper chase (oh, yeah)
'Til me and my niggas straight (straight and if we-)
And if we ever took a loss (ever took a loss, took a loss)
We learn from them all (we learn from them all)
Know they us bossin' up
Yeah, they see us floss
