Lyrics

Now pay attention to me, mane
Y'all lucky that I'm not hungry today
I could put your favorite rapper on my plate
But I would be starving a hour later
'Cause nowadays this music lacking substance
Is this the best that we come up with
Million dollar budgets
If you're trying to hear the dope truth
I got the plug, get
Connect it to the source
I'm shining 'cause I'm plugged in
Hold up, wait a minute, boy you got me messed up
If you think that I'ma sell my soul, to write a check off
I'm just trying to write a verse
So sick you need a checkup
And tell the homie, God is real
So boy, you keep your head up
Just that motivation you gon' need
At the table with our enemies
Now can write our neck and me on E
Hear there ain't nothing you can do to me
I was blind but I see now
Lot of people trying to shut us down
But I do it for the kingdom now
This redemption he gon' hold us down
I say, hold up
I've been on my pen, they talking
True like I'm in church, now tell me
Can I get a witness? I say hold up
What you see is what you getting and
The real, I know they feel it
'Cause I always been authentic
I say, hold up
You can never hold us
If you think that we gon' fold up
Then I guess you do not know us
I say, hold up
You might have to get me going
I go in, I'm in it bro you know my team is with me
I say, hold up
Hold up, I thought I heard you tell me
I had to sell out
I'm not for sale, no
But I'm still being me on stage at a sellout
What's the point in being famous?
If I can't be the person that I was made to be
Shining the light of the Lord
And a hundred percent mine and that's okay to me
I came up from nothing, I leave here with nothing
Two thousand like Kobe I shoot at the buzzer
That negative wave, end of discussion
Kill all the hating, not leaving for budgets
And whatever cause, so I gotta ball
What you trying to say? What you trying say?
I caught that bull and it's Michael Jordan watch it fade away, swish
Money and power, money and power
So infatuated with this money and power, money and power
Can't take it with you, homie
'Cause you let it kill you, homie
Oh, you know I feel you, homie
Let's keep it real, homie
Can I keep it real, homie?
Some of us not living life, we just breathing to death
Knock off the world of your lifetime, then tell me what's left
Born legacy, when I die will y'all still remember me
I just played it out real as real can be
Show y'all what reflecting greatness mean
Till then boy, hold on
I've been on my pen, they talking
True like I'm in church, now tell me
Can I get a witness? I say hold up
What you see is what you getting and
The real, I know they feel it
'Cause I always been authentic
I say, hold up
You can never hold us
If you think that we gon' fold up
Then I guess you do not know us
I say, hold up
You might have to get me
'Cause when I go in, I'm in it, bro
You know my team is with me
I say, hold up
I say, hold up
I say, hold up
I say, hold up
