[Verse 1: Christon Gray]
I can't afford to make the Stellars, guess I'll wait for the Doves
Maybe if I was Lecrae they'd know who I was
I'm the Samson of the genre
Check my reach, I'm wreckin' they whole roster
They took my eyes so I'm a camera with no operator
Smooth shawty
Shootin' to k**, you better move shawty
I'm still the phantom of the opera
My composer's 'hova
Hozier, take me to church
I say hello from hell frozen over
Fell from heaven, but now I'm supernova
I'm tryna make to the gates with this weight on my shoulders
Lucifer's replacement and I'm feelin' bipolar
Merry Christmas
Catch me on a island full of misfits
Suicide Squad and I'm feelin' like the Joker
Never been happier, I had to learn the rollercoaster is always fast
It'll never crash, keep my composure
Bitter sweet aroma as I turn the corner
Me and Shabby, taken over
Kirk [?] with your clovers
If you lean a little closer recovered from my first deal
Still, like kosher
I should have my first meal, I just changed the culture
Swoope cryin' in a lambo, I should have a chauffeur
Tired of these posers, but no sir
Al was keepin' Jeremiah from overdosin'
We the X-Men, and this is anthropology
You and your best friends still owe me an apology
Even I would take the minor league and go the major route
I heard Def Jam's call, or should I hear 'em out?
I'm fightin' to believe I'm free
I gave y'all "Stop Me", what more do y'all need?
That was Kanye's steez, y'all try like beats
Make the world go 'round, make the Chi light sing
But all y'all gym hens sin, imposters
Makin' puppets out of the monsters but not us
Our music bigger than a major label
What I care about the top?
I'm placin' angels
Talkin' 'bout God from a mainstream angle
Long as you underneath the sky your parade gets rained on
You better sign me while I'm still in human form
That's a uniform
I'm a unicorn, I'ma use my horn to make [?]
[Hook: JGivens]
We livin' this until the day that we die
Revival of the realest
The strong survive
We livin' this until the day that we die
Revival of the realest
The strong survive
[Break: JGivens & Christon Gray]
When Frank Ocean on "Nikes" put out two different versions. "Ding", heh, heh, message. Hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah. And he put out like, hah, hah, hah, the one version that was like the label cut that was good. And then the other one, he put out his indie version where he was like, "don't sign". Hah, hah, hah, hah. I did not see that bro. That's like, that's why "Nikes" was such a dope song. We should do something like that where like you have either commentary, not commentary, but like messages just flash on the screen while your walkin' up, up. That's the backdrop. Walkin' up the stairs? Or it could be like a creed of what you believe. Walkin' up the stairs? Or your story bro. Like, a quick profile on who you are. You know what I mean? Like, or it's the story, it's the narrated story. We could even have a narrator's voice. Oh, like Morgan Freeman. Right, right. In between the two Whether it'd be Morgan Freeman or James Earl Jones. It'd be Jamie Foxx. Jamie, [?] what it do baby. Wait, wait, wait, no, that's Ray Charles
[Verse 2: JGivens]
We are hungry please let us in
We are hungry please let us in
We are hungry and we need some food
I'm pickin' the lock, comin' through the door and I'm blastin'
Yeah, I was tryna be your favorite rapper's favorite rapper
And truthfully, they don't even pay the greatest rappers
They never heard of 'em
And if you scared go to church
Cut my feature verse, I'm still gonna murder 'em
Before Adobe Acrobat became the app I rapped it
Flyer than your favorite rapper's ghost written tracks
I'ma recycle that, clear
Resuscitation, Annie are you ok?
Pardon the complications
All this waitin' around, I'm irritated
And now I'm second guessin' my sk**
My hunger pangs will
Cigarettes gettin' incinerated
I'm becoming frustrated
All this negotiation got me overstatin' my emotions
So forgive me as I grow impatient
I'm growing impatient
Thank God for Chris Gray
As your man and [?], and, and, and as I ramble on
He told me that my demos were better than your flagship's catalog
If we agree then go and make the call
And I don't need the whole league, just let me have the ball
The inustry ADD, add an adderall
This indie king has a dream, it's a battle y'all
And I ain't mad at y'all
I'm just knowin' that I'm overcookin' everything you need
Feedin' Babylon
I'm askin like Madden since I'm Aladdin up in [?] bomb
My sister Jasmine just got murdered
Trump is taxin' at the wall
A hundred racks is all I want
Open up the gla** door
That's a metaphor, practicin' racquetball
Peace to peephole emba**y
And I'm gone
[Outro]
Peace to Andy
Yo, singer, respect
The A&R with the guitar
Quoted all of the lyrics that I read
That actually knew 'em from the pad that I scribbled down From the lab in my head
If I was Cuba and you was Tom Cruise you'd show me the money
Show me the money
Tennesse, I peruse, I enjoy
And I'm performin' for 'em
A Toy Story board
Would he be the Andy to keep 'em from sleepin' on JGivens like chloroform?
They fired Andy while I was readin' the short form of the major deal
I feel was really important for 'em
You got a friend in me, and I'ma skip all the politics
I spent my whole savings on attorney's like Robin Thicke
Money, money
The money down but the feet is up just like an ottoman
Never got a blue check on Twitter, still gon' follow him
I got a mic and a cameraman, America
And if I scream for three then the ghost is gon' be runnin' behind me like [?] weathers
The effects of American cotton got me weary
What do we do in the morning?
You tryna fly to Sydney, Australia?
With Taylor [?], I'm hungry as hell
Help me make a milly?
I'll make a milly
Let's just keep it really
One hundred one thousand stack three
But he's the GOAT
I'll even go one plus two
That's three
You can add, add me
I can make a record for a hundred wrecky refugees
That's give us free
Ready or not, Fugees can trust me
I just wanna take your money and make it back in with the extra cash
Take my little brother back to France
Budget in advance
I am engineer, I am legend of Bagger Vance
And I'm not with Will, oh, so go with "J" then
I'm gold flyin' through a coal mine even if I don't sign
One hundred thousand
