Forward Lyrics by Coldxman

0

[Intro]
(Whoo)
Coldxman
(Ooh, ooh)
(And what have we got here?)

[Verse 1]
Schrödinger's MC
Whether I'm dead or alive, you gotta respect me
I'm tired of politics and I'm tired of press briefs
And I'm tired of college kids with the try-hard aesthetics
I learn less from college than from the Wiki binge
And learn more from molly than from religious men
Always thought outta boxes, like I finished confessin'
Prob'ly would've quit rappin' if not for Desh
He called me on the phonе and said
"Coleman, you gotta send a messagе
Or else they gon' tell the story without you
And they'll embellish"
I had to tell it

[Interlude]
(A telephone waking him up
And putting him close to sanity)

[Verse 2]
I stay up till 4 a.m. dealin' with my stress
The only way I know how, a neat sip of High West
I'm not from the South and I'm not from the projects
I'm from the place where Tony Soprano was shot dead
Dirty Jersey, baby, apologies for the spoiler
I ain't start from the bottom, but I just started from boredom
I played a artist when critics need to be drawn up and quartered
Purchase whatever's in front of me just to toss it in storage
So in the end, I suppose you could say I'm payin' it forward
Yeah

[Chorus]
Payin' it forward (Whoo—Ooh)
Payin' it forward (Ooh)
Payin' it forward (Whoo—Ooh)
Payin' it forward (Ooh)
(Whoo)

[Verse 3]
Stick to the facts, ma'am
Before I published a word, I was writin' raps, fam
It's the revenge of the kid with the rolling backpack
Silverware matte-black, eatin' steady
Always seein' too many people or not enough
And often dealin' with niggas who only want a cut, fuck 'em
The rap game got more puppets than a Muppet function
And more dumb babies than product of cousin-fuckin'
Julliard drop-out, made the city my school
Not every house is brought down, like the titties could move
But I gotta give the credit where credit is due
That's why I give it to myself and don't give it to you
Uh, you know I hate to see women in pain
But I also hate all commitments that fuck with my game
Though me and family been mixin' like oil and rain
They still tryna soil my name, critics gotta get paid
I brush it off, mama raised a loyal and diligent maid
When the story is written and all of the riddles explained
I wonder if they'll fill up a page, or just a footnote
In the meantime

[Chorus]
Gotta move forward (Whoo—Ooh)
Gotta move forward (Ooh)
Gotta move forward (Whoo—Ooh)
Gotta move forward (Ooh)
