I gotta be
I swear I gotta be (x2)
Hate or love it I'm on the way to the summit
And all the haters are waitin' to see the day that I plummet
They bettter stay in they place because the paper is comin'
And when I make it their bank is gettin' a payment of nothin'
Now I'm destined to make it big, I think by now I've made that evident
But I'm grindin' till they know Calvin Coolidge as the rapper and not the president
See, I don't wanna live an average life
Drive an average car
f** an average wife
Have a couple of kids
These are average sights
In the average life of the average white
And now all these kids are bein' raised as fools
Parents made 'em believe that being average is cool
Now I look like the best who has ever lived
Cuz I'm being compared to the average kid
I gotta be
I swear I gotta be
When the fame came things got a lil tricky
Now hell's on Earth I ain't talkin' Lil Nicky
Let me blow a lil sticky
While I get a lil hickey
By a certified dime from lower Mississippi
So far it's a hard life
But it's all alright
Wanna battle me I'm always down for a bar fight
Made it through the hard times
Baby now it's our time
Grindin' till I get more gigs than your hard drive
Since she was a kid she's been wishing for this
And now the moment is closer and I'm
Gold like the fish in the bowl
When I Timmy Turner a** over and man
So many people had my back, whether asain white or black
So, I could never really give a f** who hates me
I made it with a little bit a' trust
With a little bit a' luck
With a little bit a' fu*k YOU PAY ME
I gotta be
I swear I gotta be
I told, life to come and battle me
I'm shootin' at reality
And if I get defeated then I'm dealing with fatality
It really isn't sad to me
I'm ready for a casualty
Cuz I don't give a f** but that's just my personality
The hate's been strong
The sensation's gone
But I'm gonna get it back though the wait's been long
Most people choose their path in life but, but I'mma pave my own
So tired I could snap like a, stress fracture
I wanna go back to when none of it mattered
It was nothin' but laughter
But now none of it's happenin'
And all I got left are the d** and this rappin' sh**
At the end of the day
I'm defendin' my way
And it's easy to say I'd rather fail than to never try
Cuz you know what they say..
Heroes get remembered but legends never die
