[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
