Can’t be us Lyrics by Denzel Kennedy

Save this for later

2025

[Part I]
[Intro]
Ahem
[Verse]
These stakes feel raised like yay high
I'll pay the piper, don't waste time
She got me locked on her waistline
Wait, slow down, baby, this might take time
I heard about you on the grape vine
On defense, don't defend, great minds
Think alike, let me paint a picture
You and me all night, let the Kayden tick
Too may wack rappers tryna say they stayin' lifted
My soul gon' light up the way, fuck a famous gimmick
This that real shit, try to stay indifferent
Kept it quiet too long, now the pain's been lifted
I came to grip with the facts we're not the same, I'm gifted
Sit back, relax, this the main event
I'll spin 'round your block like a game of Tetris
Big whip, big crib like we came from Texas
Big dick, big lips, can't change the image
Sticks and stones okay, what they say offend you
Little Ant-Man rappers, I'm the main event
Know we keep things together like Staples Center, get it?
I pity rappers that can't master the flow
They on they period, pussy rappers ain't cashin' the dough
2020, I procrastinated, rappin' at home
Fuck an alley, went back, grabbed the magic to go
How it's been the same, won't change, won't matter tomorrow
If I die, 'cause I tried and that's better than most
Never let it stack, but I'm gettin' cheddar from ghosts
They gon' Instagram caption all my lyrics for sure
I'm so dope, give credit, play a critical role
Critics can choke on my words 'cause I'm incredible, ho
Light a fire for the future, paint a better tomorrow
You gotta get it how you livin', go get it, go pro
[Part II]
[Intro]
Aw, yeah, yeah
Back again with the
Motherfuckin' what (What?)
What (What?)
[Chorus]
Too many people think they important, they not smart
I don't even trip anymore, I got heart
Black Label who I run with in public, we got bars
Black excellence, Black people the bunch that God cherishes
But I've seen
Ladies still tuck in they purse when they see us
Maybe it's the
Black skin, love it or hate it, they
Can't be us, no, they can't be us
[Verse]
My Blackness got me nothin' for free, just some pain
Bitch better give me that money, say my name
I don't want the fans or the clout or no fame
I just want my family to eat and be all straight
I ain't called my mom in a week, she might faint
I just spoke to dad and he told me to be great
I just called my manager, told me the fee's paid
Mitt on the line to promoters like all week
Knew a rapper who got booked at my show, they got cold feet
Lonely at the top, but the bottom is so steep
Team full of olympians, shout out to Soul B, shit, clap for the show peeps
Lost in a crowd, but the crowd was low-key lit
I'll leak the script, if you know, you know, B
Gosh, you're so sweet, see, I'm in control, please
Watch from courtside how I came from nosebleeds
[Chorus]
Too many people think they important, they not smart
I don't even trip anymore, I got heart
Black Label who I run with in public, we got bars
Black excellence, Black people the bunch that God cherishes
But I've seen
Ladies still tuck in they purse when they see us
Maybe it's the
Black skin, love it or hate it, they
Can't be us, no, they can't be us
[Outro]
My Blackness got me nothin' for free
