Lyrics
I made this record for anybody who second guessed it
I wrote these lyrics for all the baddies I haven’t slept with
This stage of my career
The play button is there
I put this song out for anybody who hasn’t pressed it
I never cap on a song
But these days people telling me I’m back in the zone
They waiting on the day I’m actually gone
And I walk the walk but it feel like I’m lacking the tone
They tell me break a leg it feel like I’m cracking the bone
Eish
I just feel like I’m scratching the surface
But I’m actually working
I see these lyricists who pop up my page and they dope
But they don’t rap with an actual purpose
See music is for the people they lacking the service
I just got a text she said Dibi where’s the album it’s been too long
Aren’t you scared your fans are gonna move on
I told her na baby don’t get it twisted
Rappers got them fake fans mine are more realistic
Everytime I drop some s*** I swear I can feel the difference
You just gotta trust me fam believe me I’m in the kitchen
I don’t want it pre-owned I want it in mint condition
I remember when the income was too inconsistent
N****s wanna be close when they was just in the distance
Sorry if you feel like I’m on edge and I’ve been dismissive
I just feel like not talking about it is inefficient
I know you prefer the life when no one was in our business
Guess I gotta think about us both when I make decisions
F*** it man I guess not everybody can see the vision
Dibi why’s it taking you so long when you gon’ get it
Doing s*** is hard man it’s easy to be a critic
Doing it is hard it’s easy to be a quitter
I rap with a
Lisp but when I talk money I sound clearer
Can’t hear a
Hater over the sound of my own greatness
One of the most stainless
Of my era
One pair of
Jordan 1’s on my feet
I reflect so much on what I did
I couldn’t do it with one mirror
You at the top
Boy you’re dead to me
I take you down slowly
Like pallbearer (yeah)
From the bottom of my heart to the top of charts it goes
Don’t sleep unless it’s with women we hardly know
The most love comes from the places we hardly go
Feel pain but on our faces it hardly shows
One thing about real talent it hardly blows
Black people dying in houses they hardly own
All of us stuck in a friendship that hardly grows
(Yeah)
You gotta choose em’ wisely
Need a birds eye view
You wanna see what I see
If I wasn’t the people’s champ then who would I be
If you wanna do it right you gotta do it like me
Over passionate
Over elaborate
Flow is immaculate
We know you know that we happening
I’ve already done the flow you’re imagining
See an award I’m grabbing it
I need more in my cabinet
Ekse
