Shit you know it's me
This some shit you just gotta speak on
I got some shit I just wanna speak on
(Aurpan!)
I was fly and fire like a Phoenix
Cleaner than Kleenex
Paving my own lane in my way
I guess it's me next uh
You think it's rappity rap shit uh
You think it's rappity rap
Don't lump me in with what he's in uh
Can't catch me lacking on no weekends
I'm laughing whenever he say that he street and I'm cheesin
It's crazy
They wan' see me with my hair off
Boy that's crazy
Can't even give me a lil reason uh
I saw somebody I ain't seen in years
He told me what everyone tells me
That my music's building up attention
I told him I'm just glad that he could hear it
He told me he wanna start rapping and that I should go send him a messsage
Try tell me I should hit him up and I should start investing (what?)
I had to ask"Have you ever felt that mic lil bro?""Have you ever had to do a sound check where it's tight lil bro?""Have you ever had to feel the feedback through your headphones?""Have you ever had voice notes?""Have you ever spent late nights on the beats that they just can't know?"
Let me check that notes app, let me check that pen and pad
Let me check the words you've written before I think about a hand out
Me and all of my boys, none of us ever got no handouts
I had to do this from the mub and make sure that I stand out
Not to mention in highschool, he didn't think I was cool
That's why he kept on putting pressure on me
Reverted back to a kid, that's why I did what I did
Felt there was pressure on me
I lil bro'd him and put him back in his place
I think I stopped him from rapping over my insecure actions
Who am I to say who can and can't rap and stop talent from growing?
Creativity flourishing, the city's way more important
I let me ego and my pride
Push my message to the side
Put these youngings in a box
Where they should only see me thrive
It's hard to think about the top three without thinking"Me, Myself, and I"
A cold shoulder's extra cold in this weather
We should all be getting chicken together
Please excuse me if I ever dismissed you
I never meant it
Yeah
Tall poppy syndrome bro it get's to you
(I never meant it)
But shit, it gets to you
F*ck all that bro it's too cold in this city
We all looking for sunlight right now
Rip out all the tall poppies and replace them shits with f*cking sunflowers you know
We all looking for light right now
Band together
We all need to get chicken
We all need to get
Feel me?
