Intro:
Yeah, this one goes out to those that have been here for me from the beginning. This one's for my Day Ones. You know who you are. Check it out - yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Verse 1:
My teachers said I didn’t recognise my potential/
I said "If you ain’t no friend of mine, you’re against me"/
I bet they never thought it was mildly offensive/
That they’re surprised I’m penning rhymes, it was destined/
Everyone tells me not to forget them/
When I’m famous like they think I’d offer a mention/
Or I think if I made it, they’d shop for my record/
If this is what comes with it, I don’t want the attention/
You can complain but I write what I want/
My neighbours listen to good music if they like it or not/
You can try to bring me down on my climb to the top/
But it’s not the dog in the fight, it’s the fight in the dog/
I’ll make it with or without you, each to their own/
If you don’t want to be a part of it then leave me alone/
‘Cause I don’t need that in my life, all my people at home/
Have had my back since day one and I’m keeping it known
Hook:
Don’t try to take the credit for what I’ve done/
And don’t try to take the claim for what I’ve become/
Don’t think that you’re the first or the only one/
‘Cause many have gone before you and many more will come
Verse 2:
All of a sudden everyone’s got something to say/
But not up in your face so let me cut to the chase/
Yeah, you know the type who like to spread nothing but hate/
I’ve had as much I can take and now I’m coming your way/
You feeling tough saying I’m not real or rough or skilled enough?/
Spewing silly stuff like you don’t think I’m ill as such/
And maybe I should sicken up, maybe I don’t give a fuck/
A catchy flow you can’t prevent with any prescription drug/
Call me what you want but I’m just doing my thing/
I’m not a puppet under your control, I’m pulling the strings/
I hate to break it to you but you’re not as cool as you think/
I’m just telling things about you that you wouldn’t admit/
So cut me down to size so I can stoop to your level/
With your backwards ADIDAS cap as stupid as ever/
Man, what happened to the feedback that used to be clever?/
You’re welcome to take my place if you think you can do better
Hook:
Don’t try to take the credit for what I’ve done/
And don’t try to take the claim for what I’ve become/
Don’t think that you’re the first or the only one/
‘Cause many have gone before you and many more will come
Sample:
Do what the fuck he said. Get up or shut up
Verse 3:
So I’m a stay humble, stick to my roots/
And branch out, spread love and I’ll kick off my boots/
At the end of the day knowing that I’m giving the truth/
And nothing but ‘cause really I’m no different to you/
So I’ll keep it real and never be something I’m not/
Never did drugs, never did run from the cops/
Never hit thugs, never hid money or Glocks/
But I’ll fist bump any kid who jumps to my songs/
They just want me to be like everyone else/
But I’d rather oppose the mainstream to better myself/
Start casting your votes, I don’t need anyone’s help/
I’ll make a living from music with no intention to sell/
I stand with my back to the naysayers and nonbelievers/
And blame-layers who spray hate for no honest reason/
I’m making a bomb, I’ll take what I want and leave/
And on the way up I’ll wave as I stop to see you
Hook:
Don’t try to take the credit for what I’ve done/
And don’t try to take the claim for what I’ve become/
Don’t think that you’re the first or the only one/
‘Cause many have gone before you and many more will come
Outro:
Yeah, don't front, man. You're not the first and you won't be the last. Shout out to my Day Ones. Much love
