Intelligence Lyrics by Dee-1

Slingshot David

2017

[Verse 1]
I'm that dude that's intelligent, but still kinda hood
One foot in corporate America, one still in the hood
If you know me, then you know I keep it real with the hood
If I ever sign a deal, I sign my deal with the hood
Twenty-eight on the ACT, but I grew up in the streets
I told em' I'm going far, but they act like they ain't see
These boys remind me of a hamburger dressed up
Same dudes who have beef, saying let us catch up
And all I want is to go and get what's mine
They call me crazy, but I know it's my time
They call me crazy, but that's just how I grind
One thing you gotta do, respect my mind
And who you, and who you testing, boy?
Hard times a blessing boy, gon' learn your lesson boy
And we ain't stressing boy, we from the street
Man, you wouldn't last fourteen days, you too weak

[Chorus]
They ain't trying to see a youngin' balling
Know they'd rather see a youngin' falling
But, I'm gon' keep my paper up regardless
And I'm gon' keep my head up regardless
They think I'm going crazy
They think I'm going crazy
They think I'm going crazy
They think I'm going crazy
They ain't trying to see a youngin' balling
They think I'm crazy
I'm going crazy

[Verse 2]
I got the baddest girl in the whole school
Why you hating on a youngin'? I don't even know you
If you sleeping on a youngin', I'ma have to show you
I'm the man around here, I thought that was old news
What it do? watch me step front to back, right to left
Shake a hater off like I caught the holy ghost, yep
Got to get it, we grinding, ain't no time for no yawning
I beat the sun up like an angry parent, good morning
Crack of dawn,I got to get it
Ladies love it, haters fear it
Got the sauce, I'm young and fearless
Ain't no other way to spend it
They be talking, but I live it
I'm the man, I'm really serious like yeah, yeah
You don't believe in little Uno?
Then, partna' don't approach me
I told my hood I'm bout to leave and bring us back the trophy
So, when I'm at the top, don't be shy
I'm on a mission little daddy, I don't know how to stop

[Chorus]
They ain't trying to see a youngin' balling
Know they'd rather see a youngin' falling
But, I'm gon' keep my paper up regardless
And I'm gon' keep my head up regardless
They think I'm going crazy
They think I'm going crazy
They think I'm going crazy
They think I'm going crazy
They ain't trying to see a youngin' balling
They think I'm crazy
I'm going crazy
