4600foley - My family / Respect Me Lyrics

I'm doing this shit for me
Most importantly I'm doing it for my family
Gotta generate generational wealth so my picture will stay on the shelf
Wanna make sure my legacy lives on
Also wanna make sure I'm doing my currents proud
My grandma is special love visiting her and putting on the kettle
Sit down for a chat with some tea and biscuits
She told me she proud and I'm gonna go far
I looked myself in the mirror and told myself I'm gonna be the one (the one)
That's a heavy weight but I can carry tonnes
If it means I can do it for my dons I'm ready to do it
I'm gonna do my ting and well that's conclusive (conclusive)
Grandad told me it's all bless when you're a youth
Just wanna make sure I can buy my Mumsy a coupe
And retire her would mean the world to me
My hard work is clear to see and you can see it in my tunes
Learnt for 6 months before I released my first drop
My friends told me that drop was top
More of those and I'll afford a drop top
They don't know the next ones are even more hot
Like for real my tapes they'll cop
If they give a f*ck that support won't stop
I'll be keeping an eye on who don't
And I'll recognise them at shows
And I'll shout them all at socials
Hatred is only natural (only natural)
But I love when the support is much more vocal (much more vocal)

The fall off is not inevitable
My place at the top is tenable
High up they put me on a pedastool
They look forward to me cos I'm ahead of you
Wanna speak? I'll check my schedule
Wanna hate? I'll resist it all
If you don't push me I won't end up vexed
But how far can you push someone til you end up dead
If you give me respect, I'll give you my respect

They say...
You gotta earn my respect
I'll snap your legs
Don't disrespect
Dislocate your neck
Don't tell me you go home and speak like that to your partner
And best believe you'd get more than a slap on the wrist if you spoke like that round your mother
There ain't no discussion this ain't no jumper
If you want a discussion, I'll jump ya
But I ain't got time for a bummer

I'm sliding like I'm skiing off piste
Showing off my mastery
If you're the subject of my criticisms it's getting peak
Sat at home tryna think of return like long day for me
He fell of then hardly came back then fell off twice
It ain't sounding too sweet gotta put more work in
Your shit aint working told him to put it in rice
But he ain't wise you know he won't take the advice
Yeah I know these lyrics ain't sounding too nice
But you know I won't disguise the truth cos it won't help you improve
Best thing I learnt was to speak the truth
Now I'm learning to do it on tunes
I'll keep some stuff to myself when I read the room

(I'm doing this shit for me
Most importantly I'm doing this for my family
Gotta generate generational wealth so my picture will stay on the shelf
Wanna make sure my legacy lives on
Also wanna make sure I'm doing my currents proud
My grandma is special love visiting her and putting on the kettle)
