lyrics

I ain’t no rapper no more
That label don’t fit in my crown
I never fit in no crowd
I’m sick of sticking around
I’m finna drift in the clouds
Mountain Olympus bound
No I don’t belong on no list
Gimmicks was never my style
I gave y’all several discs
Gave you the drip in a drought
Gave you the keys to the game
When most never figured it out
Rocking unlimited crowds
Reaching all demographics
When rappers was selling you coke
I was just giving you classics
I’ve never had a chain
But I just own all my masters
I never went by the book
But I could quote all the chapters
I know the before and afters
Lies and the golden statues
The idols they told you would make you whole
But it’s so unnatural
The soul is eternal
The gun is a weapon and so is a journal
You war with flesh and blood
I’m beefing with Dante’s Inferno
Rappers don’t get involved
This one here just doesn’t concern you
Blast from a different bomb
Glass of truth splashed with a swig of Psalms
With faith the size of a seed that you can fit in your palms
Cast mountains into the sea if the doubt and leading you wrong
Be feeding you what you need, you just think I’m singing a song
Come on

All of that loving is fake
Purely infatuation
They don’t wanna let you be great
They’d rather cancel your greatness
Shovel the dirt on your name
Seeing you fall is amazing
They get some satisfaction
The internet giveth and taketh
You ain’t been broke in a minute
Now you a minute from breaking
Popular people don’t make mistakes
You are clearly mistaking
Life of the rich and famous
It comes with the territory
People will write your ending
When you just want to share your story
And I’ve had my share of glory
Trust me, that feeling is fleeting
Niggas who never had the only ones feel that they need it
Cycle keep getting repeated
When will they ever learn
The fire that’s living inside you
You’ve got to let it burn
You’ve got to let it burn
Oh, you’ve got to let it burn
We only get one life, you don’t get a second turn
Consider that lesson learned
The second a check is earned
Gotta decide, God or your pride
Which director you serve
Christ or a revenue curve
Partner we been in the black
Something from nothing
You’re looking at the inventors of that
Times are a-changing, we no longer sit in the back
And hip hop is ours until we say that we’re finished with that
For the record
