The Race Lyrics


The world turning, the weed burning
Them haters talking, I keep earning
Know some who say that life's a bitch, well, I'ma keep flirting
And fuck that bitch for the money and Louie V purchasesOld folks jock my car 'cause they know just what this is
Niggas flexing hard with no bars, they got weak service
Keep verses, Mortal Kombat
Look at my ring, if I ain't balling bitch, then what you call that?Nothing but net and back 'cause I never left
I did everything right nigga, better yet
Rolling bomb for the niggas that's around us
Something like a contractor building from the ground upNow just twist up this weed
Realize that you in the presence of a G
Don't fuck up my paper, meaning my cheese
Or the ones I use to roll up my trees
Fuck it, you know what I meanI'm riding 'round, smoking, my music up loud
Kinda do my thing, no disrespect to the niggas before me
Some smile up in your face but then hate on the low
Now I just stunt on my own, now I just stunt on my ownI'm in a race and taking the winners place, no foot on the brakes
One of the best, homie that's what they call me

It's lonely at the top, ain't no company so
Now I just stunt on my own, now I just stunt on my ownSee me when I'm alone, wishing they could fuck with me
My ex calling my phone, wishing she could stunt with me
But I'm just riding dog, doing a buck fifty
Stunting like Jet Li, boat houses and jet skisThirty on the flight, ice like the Gretsky's
My dime piece only recognize the best trees
Treat 'em like I don't need 'em boy, you best believe
You in her face, I let her breathFrom debated on, to waited on
From hated on to the nigga they put cake up on
'Cause we are young movie stars
'Cause we are young movie starsI'm riding 'round, smoking, my music up loud
Kinda do my thing, no disrespect to the niggas before me
Some smile up in your face but then hate on the low
Now I just stunt on my own, now I just stunt on my ownI'm in a race and taking the winners place, no foot on the brakes
One of the best, homie that's what they call me
It's lonely at the top, ain't no company so
Now I just stunt on my own, now I just stunt on my ownOh, oh, now I just stunt on my own
Bitches ain't say shit to me but now they won't leave me alone
Used to walk the other way but now they all come to my home
And they calling my phone 'cause my paper was longRunning up and they singing my songs
Get hired up if they want then I bring them along
We flying up, no, you won't need a ticket at all
Need a ticket at all, tell a bitch I'ma ballAnd I'ma buy a new crib for my niggas and all
'Cause I remember days we'd sit and pictured it all
Nigga, swear I'd leave or pictured I'd fall
Counting reasons why they hate, your bitch think I'm a star'Cause we are young, gifted
Not to mention out here making muthafucking millions
Yeah, I said it, muthafucking millions
Got my money up, I'm in the buildingI'm riding 'round, smoking, my music up loud
Kinda do my thing, no disrespect to the niggas before me
Some smile up in your face but then hate on the low
Now I just stunt on my own, now I just stunt on my ownI'm in a race and taking the winners place, no foot on the brakes
One of the best, homie that's what they call me
It's lonely at the top, ain't no company so
Now I just stunt on my own, now I just stunt on my own

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Cameron Jibril Thomaz (born September 8, 1987 in Minot, North Dakota), better known by his stage name Wiz Khalifa, is an American rapper based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, signed to Rostrum Records. According to the Black and Yellow Songfacts, his stage name is derived from khalifa, an Arabic word meaning "successor", and wisdom. His nickname growing up was "Wizard" which was shortened to Wiz when Khalifa was fifteen.

In 2005 he released his first official mixtape, Prince of the City: Welcome to Pistolvania, and later in 2006 he released his first full length street album entitled Show and Prove. Since then he has released a further six mixtapes and a collaboration mixtape titled How Fly with friend Curren$y. He released his debut album, Deal or No Deal, in November of 2009, it reached #1 on the iTunes hip hop chart, and then reached the top ten on iTunes' overall album chart the week it was released. Previously signed to Warner Bros. Records, he left the label in July 2009 after numerous delays in releasing his planned debut album for the label, First Flight. Khalifa stated to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that, "I learned a lot during my time there and matured as an artist during the process. I'm happy to be moving on with all of my material and having the chance to be in control of my next moves".He is also the founder of the rap crew Taylor Gang, which includes friends Kev Tha Hustler, Ekko, Smallz Money and Gene Stovall. They derived the name from the fact they always used to wear Chuck Taylor shoes.

Khalifa was born on September 8, 1987 in Minot, North Dakota to a mother and a father serving in the military. The family moved to Pittsburgh when Khalifa was the age of two. His parents' military service caused the family to move on a regular basis.
Over the next thirteen years, he would move between Pittsburgh and South Carolina, Georgia, Oklahoma, Germany, Japan, and England as his parents were reassigned to different posts. In October of 1990 Wiz was separated from his mother,who left him in the hands of her sister while she served in Operation Desert Storm.

During his travels, Wiz was forced to mature quicker than his peers. He was constantly faced with new surroundings, new schools, and new sets of friends, and he found it difficult to become attached to anyone outside his family roots. This nomadic life gave Wiz an opportunity, though, to broaden his mind and offered him many experiences from which to draw inspiration. He began to perceive the world differently than most kids, and he would write his thoughts down every day.These thoughts would become the foundation for his future recordings.

By the age of 14, with a few songs under his belt, Wiz was already drawing comparisons with his commanding voice and witty wordplay. While he has been influenced by artists such as Jay-Z, Camron, and the Notorious B.I.G., Wiz was determined to create his own identity that would, one day, be loved and revered by fans.

Ready to take the next step, Wiz began his search for a recording studio to record new songs. He found one, ID LABS, where owner Eric Dan immediately recognized Wiz's talents. Along with Chad Glick of ID Management, they began to network Wiz to another Pittsburgh native, Benjy Grinberg of Rostrum Records. Benjy realized the raw talent that Wiz possessed, and immediately brought him into the Rostrum family in 2002.

Soon after, Wiz Khalifa began his ascent into the music scene in the Pittsburgh area. He has been hailed by the award winning Pittsburgh Post-Gazette pop music critic, Ed Masley, as having “the skills, the looks, the confidence, the drive, and the charisma for the job.” The New Pittsburgh Courier says, “The combination of a young, charismatic M.C. with a slew of stop-and-rewind rhymes together with a local independent label with major industry connections has set the stage for a hip-hop artist representing Pittsburgh to reach superstar status for the first time ever.

In 2010, with the success of Kush and Orange Juice still present, Wiz Khalifa signed with Atlantic Records. Wiz's style along with his production team, Johnny Juliano, Sledgren, and E. Dan make this a winning combination for success.

Most recently Wiz Khalifa was arrested on various marijuana charges after performing at one of his shows on his Waken Baken Tour. Wiz was allegedly found with over 2 ounces of marijuana. Wiz Khalifa recently spoke to MTV about what happened.

Wiz Khalifa's song Black and Yellow, a known Steelers Anthem, which was also made into a Lakers Anthem Purp and Yellow, went viral a few weeks ago, with over 24 million views on Youtube. Currently Black and Yellow is #1 on the Billboard's Hot 100.

His major label debut album is set to drop March 29th, entitled "Rolling Papers"
