Gave It Back Lyrics by Drew Famous

Running In Place

2016

[Verse 1: Drew Famous]
Started OIF because my city ain’t support me
But now that I popped they say I got it, when they ain’t endorse me
Don’t come around me talking fake if you ain’t bout it
Know a couple of y’all ain’t say to my face, I know you doubt
It’s got my sick to my stomach, I know y’all hate that you love it
I know y’all hate that I’m popping off when you said that I wasn’t
But now I’m here, round, know I run this town, I ain’t playing nah
I’m really bout, everything you clowned, when I was taking off
Please don’t be telling me nothing
Bossing it up when I’m young just to act a fool when I get older they calling me Benjamin Button
Really extensively stunting
Really the kid been a threat for the longest, I’m on it, I’m off it, my Mac is my office
I’m truly the best in my city, ain’t say it, I thought it
But now it’s on record I’m just being honest
The boy is heaven-sent, flow is heavy-set, you ain’t ready yet
Got my city on my back, really know I’m next, you ain’t gotta ask
Don’t ask me a question
Don’t got the answers, I suggest you keep guessing
My schedule been stacking up daily with more and more errands
So you ain’t got like it make sure you respect it
[Hook: Drew Famous]
I got the dream of being on some big magazine
They can tear down my ego or knock my self-esteem
Cause I got it in me and I know some that believe
They could give me a zero cause they still listened to me
That’s all that matters to me
I ain’t half-assing the beat
I made a little money then I gave it back to my dreams, yeah
Then I gave it back to my dreams, yeah
[Verse 2: Parris Chariz]
Made the vision for the heavens, in the building, made the verse in the basement
I’m breaking the vases and stealing the bases, just made a hit and it’s a homer
They at least a margin away from me, I been keeping them away from me
We been waving, need a surfboard, I been keeping them away from me, yeah
Gave it back to the dream, this is all for my leader
Gave it back for the team, got the juice in a liter
Yeah, Polaroid still on the way, yeah
Jerry is still on his wave, yeah, holy weapon in some days, yeah
[Verse 3: Topi Mandela]
Yeah, I know my fate, made the song Greatness again Imma state this, look
I know I’m great, been eating up beats for a minute but somehow I still gotta lot on my plate
The money I’m making goes right back to music, look
Ain’t no debate, I’m putting my all into this, I got family to feed so there’s no time to wait
Giving up is not okay, used to struggle every day
But I had to find a way, I got bills I need to pay, verses that I need to lay
Work that I cannot delay, so I ain’t got time to play at all
I ain’t got the time of day to stall, to my dreams Imma give it all, Topi
[Hook: Drew Famous]
I got the dream of being on some big magazine
They can tear down my ego or knock my self-esteem
Cause I got it in me and I know some that believe
They could give me a zero cause they still listened to me
That’s all that matters to me
I ain’t half-assing the beat
I made a little money then I gave it back to my dreams, yeah
Then I gave it back to my dreams, yeah
[Outro: Drew Famous]
