| [00:00.19] |
I'm out to be the best me that I can be |
| [00:02.34] |
working on my craft day in and out |
| [00:03.55] |
you know that's what I'm about |
| [00:04.92] |
no, I'm not aiming to become famous |
| [00:07.98] |
I just wanna play and sing this |
| [00:10.16] |
the only competition I see is myself |
| [00:12.62] |
I got a tunnel vision kinda like a telescope |
| [00:15.12] |
and I'm looking at |
| [00:16.23] |
and I'm picking at |
| [00:17.41] |
everything that I can do to become better |
| [00:20.40] |
I see a lot of people I hear a lot of things they're talking about diamond rings, money things |
| [00:25.71] |
I guess that happens when you hit the top become unsatisfied with everything |
| [00:28.59] |
that you already got |
| [00:30.49] |
you say it's all about the music but mess around with girls who do it yeah |
| [00:35.57] |
you lied to your fans |
| [00:36.94] |
I'm singing from my shadow you can call that shade |
| [00:40.20] |
my verse is straight and my flow is hard |
| [00:42.72] |
I paint my songs like a work of art |
| [00:45.36] |
I never grew up listening to other stuff |
| [00:47.70] |
you could say I'm kind of different |
| [00:48.83] |
maybe just a bluff |
| [00:50.05] |
but let me tell you I am 100 percent reality |
| [00:52.60] |
I ain't dancing around in a fantasy, no |
| [00:54.81] |
only sea that I'll be dancing in is a sea of fans in a sold out MSG |
| [00:59.81] |
maybe a year or two, maybe a year or three |
| [01:02.76] |
it doesn't phase me, honestly |
| [01:04.56] |
even if I don't make it by then |
| [01:06.46] |
I'll still be doing shows so I'll make it in the end yeah |
| [01:10.12] |
and if you think I'm irrelevant well then I must be relevant |
| [01:14.71] |
cause you took the time to listen to my song |
| [01:16.83] |
that I wrote on my bed in my bedroom |
| [01:19.63] |
I don't sing for a backtrack |
| [01:22.09] |
I write songs in my snapback |
| [01:24.58] |
I don't care what they say |
| [01:26.33] |
I'm keeping it real kinda like in A Capella |
| [01:29.61] |
I don't hook up with strangers |
| [01:32.36] |
I've got class and respect |
| [01:34.85] |
I don't care what they say keeping it real kinda like in A Capella |
| [01:39.26] |
A Capella A-A Capella A Capella A-A Capella |
| [01:44.05] |
A Capella A-A Capella |
| [01:46.43] |
keeping it real kinda like in A Capella |
| [01:51.26] |
sometime I need to focus on myself and what I need sometime I feel like my mind is on it's own kind of speed but I guess that the way it goes when you try to write like a beast |
| [01:59.67] |
this is my feast |
| [02:01.76] |
don't ever classify me as a rapper |
| [02:03.48] |
I spit a little bit and |
| [02:04.92] |
I can talk fast but that's it |
| [02:06.24] |
I ain't about the gold chains |
| [02:07.29] |
ain't about the fake girls |
| [02:08.47] |
ain't about the high life |
| [02:09.72] |
ain't about the money |
| [02:11.66] |
see my lyrics are different |
| [02:13.22] |
they come alive the minute I start to sing them |
| [02:15.96] |
I would say that I put my soul all up in them |
| [02:18.44] |
but I am a ginger you know how that goes |
| [02:21.63] |
my world comes together the moment my pen hits the paper like I'm a jail breaker but |
| [02:26.05] |
I have committed no crime |
| [02:27.21] |
to be charged for, you see me in bars |
| [02:29.44] |
but don't know what I stand for |
| [02:31.72] |
I don't sing for a backtrack |
| [02:34.22] |
I write songs in my snapback |
| [02:36.82] |
I don't care what they say I'm keeping it real kinda like in A Capella |
| [02:41.43] |
I don't hook up with strangers |
| [02:44.02] |
I've got class and respect |
| [02:46.74] |
I don't care what they say keeping it real kinda like in A Capella |
| [02:50.67] |
A Capella A-A Capella A Capella A-A Capella |
| [02:55.67] |
A Capella A-A Capella |
| [02:58.02] |
keeping it real kinda like in A Capella |
| [03:00.43] |
Wait |
| [03:02.94] |
my finger bleed when I pluck strings |
| [03:04.49] |
I was never raised to play this guitar with a pick thing at times people say I sound British |
| [03:08.49] |
when I say things |
| [03:09.30] |
when I say things |
| [03:09.89] |
say things |
| [03:10.77] |
now they coming to me |
| [03:11.70] |
asking if I wanna be the next big thing |
| [03:13.44] |
I'm the next best thing buddy |
| [03:14.70] |
you better get your facts straight |
| [03:16.09] |
I don't need a record label to label my true talent great |
| [03:18.44] |
cause if the people like it then the people buy it |
| [03:20.29] |
why would I wanna hire another writer to take it higher |
| [03:22.09] |
foolish like the gold that you place in my hands |
| [03:24.27] |
cause that's fool's gold |
| [03:26.98] |
and I'm not fooled by this fame game |
| [03:28.04] |
it's so lame |
| [03:30.30] |
cause I'm verified on the inside |
| [03:32.07] |
don't need a blue check to be satisfied |
| [03:33.74] |
ah |
| [03:35.67] |
|
| [03:52.01] |
pluck strings when I play this take names when I play this take notes when I play this |
| [03:56.32] |
break strings when I play this take names when I play this take notes when I play this |
| [04:07.11] |
break strings when I play this take names when I play this take notes when I play this |
| [04:15.17] |
break strings when I play this take names when I play this take notes when I play this |
| [04:21.60] |
you already know |
| [04:24.51] |
I don't sing for a backtrack |
| [04:27.92] |
I write songs in my snapback |
| [04:32.10] |
and I don't care what they say I'm keeping it real kinda like in A Capella |
| [04:39.92] |
I don't hook up with strangers |
| [04:43.76] |
I've got class and respect |
| [04:47.91] |
and I don't care what they say |
| [04:51.93] |
and I don't care what they say |
| [04:56.08] |
cause I'm keeping it real |
| [04:58.46] |
keeping it real kinda like in A Capella |
| [05:02.62] |
