[Intro]
Reputation...
And Fame
Both seperate
But entirely related things
One side, controls the other
And the other, controls another
You can't determine which is which
[Hook 1]
Reputation it's like a card
To show motherf**ers you're entirely hard
Treated like a star, know you'll go far
Because you know exactly who the f** you are
Reputation it's like a card
To show motherf**ers you're entirely hard
Treated like a star, know you'll go far
Because you know exactly who the f** you are
[Verse 1]
Reputation tells them who you be
The hardest motherf**er on them single streets
Know for for doing the business, know for f**ing finishing-ing...
Things with customers as if they were their lovers
With reputation comes the trust of your peers
And anything you could lust for a hundred years
You're known for getting the job done, one hundred percent son
So don't mess it up son or else you'll be reduced to none
Reputation is hard to earn
You have to do things in order to get the burn
Driving around a moving truck for a single buck
You'll be asking yourself, what the f**...
Am I doing? You're earning the god damn respect
Even though you don't get zeroes on that check
What ever comes later on is what happens to you son
When you get the respect and everything becomes done
[Hook 2]
Fame, it comes from above
So that when you get it, you know you'll fly like a dove
Everybody in the sky, taking the time to say hi
Nobody wanting you to go goodbye
Fame, it comes from above
So that when you get it, you know you'll fly like a dove
Everybody in the sky, taking the time to say hi
Nobody wanting you to go goodbye
[Verse 2]
Fame is not a rank, it's a social status
That makes other people wish that they had it
You got to be prepared to be subserviant
Or else the loss of fame will be permanent
If you're found lying for the crime
Then you won't be recognized for the time, you won't even get a dime
You gotta balance it out between the good and bad
Cause if you lose the fame then you'll find yourself mad
But once you get the fame, it's unexplainiable
Be prepared to be seen as more viable
You get the stars, you know that you will go far
With your bars and your cars, that's who you are
Get a house in the hills, and have s**
And look at those zeroes on them company checks
Knowing you made it, but just this time
Once you're done you'll go back to performing your rhymes
[Hook 3]
Reputation it's like a card
To show motherf**ers you're entirely hard
Treated like a star, know you'll go far
Because you know exactly who the f** you are
Fame, it comes from above
So that when you get it, you know you'll fly like a dove
Everybody in the sky, taking the time to say hi
Nobody wanting you to go goodbye
