​tpk - s** Up lyrics

[Intro] Getting a booking is hard... So I have to s** up to promoters... It's a hard job... But everybody's gotta do it [Verse 1] I hate it when promoters think they're big But I have to bow down, and s** their dick No better way to say it but it's the honest truth There's no other way to promote what you spit in the booth I'd be telling lies from deep down When I tell promoters they're the best in town When I pay them $20 dollars to enter shows And then I pull out my smartphone and take photos Include a hashtag, so they know I was there Spit my rhymes, hoping that I get somewhere But you know them, they'll never book you in your lifetime Especially if you be spitting complex rhymes You're not experienced enough, you need to get some sk**s But how can I get them if they require lots of bills? I don't know why I keep s**ing up I guess I like the taste of those two nuts [Chorus] I'm a s** up... Because I have to be one!

I'm a s** up... Because I have to be one! [Verse 2] Look at how much effort I put myself through Because I want to advance my career and pay dues Gain the life that I never got Cause I don't want my contributions to be for not I want to make it, I want to find destiny But ain't nobody see potential in me I s** up too hard and I gain that reputation As a guy too blind to even mean what he's sayin' I speak the truth, but they say I tell lies Why bother, they wouldn't believe me even if I tried They don't know what I think but they know how I operate To the point where they make me look like an ingrate They make you feel welcome and then when your done They shun you for eternity, make it no fun That's the system we made, we can't break it now How will we get rappers to contribute to our cash cow? [Chorus] I'm a s** up... Because I have to be one! I'm a s** up... Because I have to be one!
