lyrics

Well I done opened up for Snoop and I done opened up for Drake/
I been all on MTV and I got interviews with Sway/
got it poppin in my city, I done traveled different states/
won't you please do me one favor/ tell me what else do it take/
outchea makin something shake/ patient waiting for my break/
one degree of separation 'tween the basement and the bank/
I seen niggas get they shot and now they out here shooting blanks/
when you list your favorites I just hope I'm somewhere in the ranks/ Thanks/

All of the five star notebooks/ all of the compositions/
all of pens and pencils/ all for your likes and mentions/
all the online opinions/ all of the contradictions/
my pot to piss in/ all depending/ on whether or not you listen/
like that was the mission/ that's what kept me submitting to competitions/
sending the music to blogs/ praying to God that they choose to respond/
all the promoters scamming looking at you like you in the wrong/
labels saying they love you but they don't know what they can do with your song/

Anyway/ moving along/ that ain't what I'm here for/
ton of racks/ double taps/ Hunnids in my bill fold/
JU I'm in chill mode/ not even a lil broke/
I got peace of mind/ what a lotta folks'll kill for/
still though/ trying to make a mill 'fore I feel old/
industry is shady lately what I need a deal for/
Jacktown representer / trick call me Lil Joe/
r.i.p. The snake guy/ 1400 Murrah drive/

Don't forget about the flow boy I kept it rollin/
if you love me let me know show me some emotion/
I seen others come and go but I kept it golden/
you still down they say fasho Chizzle you the chosen/
Show me love show me love/

Don't forget about your bruh/
Don't forget about your cuz/
You remember what I done/
Just remember where I'm from/

You wanna see some rappers pissed? Write some names and make a list,
State your preference like it’s scripture, make a meme and post a gif,
Watch the comments going nuts, n***** blowed and throwin’ fits,
Young whats-his-face and lil (snap, snap) talkin’ lip,
I just giggle for a bit, then relax, What would Jigga think,
Going back and forth with these n***** with Spinrilla links,
Beat leasing, rapping over vocals, they don’t know no better,
Broke, but they stunting on they records, that don’t go together,
But whatever, I just keep on doing me,
See them struggle doing one thing while I’m out here doing three,
If I ain’t recording classics then I’m mixing for a fee,
Or I’m banging out the beats and, for the record, they ain’t cheap,
I’m on album number 8 and I’m on mixtape number 3,
Don’t forget about the shows, different genres, different scenes,
I just hope that you remember that I did it for the team,
Like T’Challa in Wakanda, don’t’ forget about the king.

Don't forget about the flow boy I kept it rollin/
if you love me let me know show me some emotion/
I seen others come and go but I kept it golden/
you still down they say fasho Chizzle you the chosen/
Show me love show me love/

Don't forget about your bruh/
Don't forget about your cuz/
You remember what I done/
Just remember where I'm from/
