Respect Lyrics by Kinsey

The Test Mixtape

2019

[Verse 1]
I don't wanna be a grammy nominee
I just wanna be a fuckin' emcee
Ev-ry-one looking at me I don't want money
I just wanna see someone with a deep
Passion for this thing comin' up to me
Sayin' I'm a G saying' I can be
The next B.I.G or the brand new Pac
I just want my part coming from the heart

If there's anything, something, that can make you bump me
Tryin' out these hard beats, to see what raises heartbeats

That's what I'mma do that's the realest truth
I can give to you dunno what to do
I just want the juice trying something new
Doin' it for you to see if you look through

The bullshit
All this fucking bullshit
Every dude's got bullshit
They try to spew they bullshit
I'm cool with

The fact that I ain't black and I don't pop caps but I've got raps
That's all I had that's all I'm offering
Please do not bring expectations I can not meet

[Interlude]
Respect is probably to me the most important thing you can have
In hip hop. You can buy your way to the top but you can't buy support
And you can't buy respect. But if you already have respect through
Hard work and honesty, then you can get everything
You can do anything and you have longevity
And that's what I'm tryna do

Let's go!

[Verse 2]
I'm about a year in the game
I have been writing and fighting
But I just keep hearing the same
Shit just 'cause I come from Brighton
Don't mean the skill has to change
What you know 'bout rhymin' and cyphers
Now that I'm here I'mma stay
I'mma be hiking to heights In
My more experienced ways
...
My more experienced ways
I'mma need some serious change
To keep this shit here on replay
'Cause I've got that earache again
From hearing smearings of rumours
Bitch please just keep in your lane
Just keep on steering the wheel or
I'll have you squealing in pain
Don't piss me off or I might get those violent
Feelings again
(You know those...)
Feelings of anguish 'cause I keep being vanquished
It makes me feel like I ain't shit
But even still I'mma stay at it
'Cause I mean what the fuck else can I even do I'm just aimin'
For raining' lyrical bullets on names 'cause maybe that way I can gain
Some sort of respect in this thang
Or else I'mma just keep on sayin' the same shit all over again
And that would just drive us insane
