Stage Fright Lyrics by Retep

Self Over Status

2017

I remember driving up to the club
Streets empty not even the people i loved
The smell around the corner people getting buzzed
So I go the check the lines and front
Im scared ill choke on the words havnt rapped em in months
I used to practice but gave up i never hit it once
But i believe ill find it within when i see everyone
But im early ill be a disease when they come
So sick to my stomach the butterflies died
They tried to fly away but couldn't pass time
So i sit at the bar denying a drink
Arms crossed head down people scream hes crying I think
In my mind out my eyes my future prying at the brink
Until another another rapper approached trying to sing
I looked up he said keep doing your thing
I stood up deep breath started rapping
The whole room silent I remember when they used to be laughing
I used to be backwards used as amusement nothing but wack
Im going to war they waving my flag
Mine used to be white i stopped when they started waving it back
Most of these rappers aborting this mission
Im writing the raps and guiding the war pigeons
At this point in time haven't had no turbulence
Because this is the last day that no one has heard of this
End of my verse everyone at the venue getting hyped
The other artists getting scared they had met they kryptonite
Never out of my element im that man of steel
Im the halo forming around the underground satanic heels
The other rapper backing away hitting the panic button
While im blowing up the other dudes are self destructing
They know to pay attention because there sales are shutting
As soon as retep hits the stage the fans are coming but
Hook
Im not getting the stage fright
Better get the name right
Retep boy im ready to take flight
Im getting ready please just hang tight
No heart on my sleeve but im brave heart in plain sight
Verse 2
Few hours later my name is called after a sound check
I hear the roar of the crowd that hasn't simmered down yet
People asking me are you nervous this whole place is crowded
The last performer replaying in my and how good he sounded
This is my one shot thought nothing about it
Because im compounded with gunpowder
This is there jam im brought a whole barrel but only performing a clip
Im dodging the bullet every time im reloading my lips
Im walking up the stairs then fixing the aux cord
The beat of my audition drops fans in shock form
No hologram starts spitting in pac form
Talking opposites im luke cold and not warm
Unfamiliar faces start to applaud it
I thought im forgotten
Fell from the top and flew to the bottom
After the first song is over no is sane
They open there mouth closing they mind all over again
The whole place rocking and the jawlines dropping
They all screaming retep and the record label watching
And the manager just walked in hes running out of options
The butterflies coming back as monsters and they gonna stop it
If this is child's play they gonna adopt it and send me to the doctor
Cuz im frozen and knocked up the mood shifts and its awkward
Choking in the biggest moment momentum is an emotion
Becoming a no one I need a new mindset to go in
Second song over didn't rap the second verse
I feel i let myself down and dont want to say a word
But out of the corner of my eye someone says I gotcha
It turns out its the other rapper and hes watching
A sense of hope takes over my body it got it
From top the bottom from shining to rotten
Now I can do anything hands up and there pompous
Shout out to the fans who go to my concerts because
