MVP

[00:02.00] Yeah
[00:05.41] I make money off of bein' myself
[00:07.64] Get a glimpse of my potential when I believe in myself
[00:12.06] Yeah
[00:14.98] Yeah
[00:18.42] Yeah
[00:21.25] Yeah
[00:22.11] It's gettin' harder to tell the difference between reality and dreams
[00:25.31] The lines keep blurrin' like I'm drivin' half asleep
[00:27.58] I'm invitin' you to see who's next up in this rap shit
[00:30.51] Hooks, beats and verses, every song I score a hat trick
[00:33.42] Always said I'd never sign but lately, I been tempted
[00:36.18] 'Cause my dad just asked for gas money, my mom just said she spent it
[00:39.05] It's easy to pass judgement when you comfortable in life
[00:41.84] But desperation breeds a beast, the truth won't always be polite
[00:44.73] So I'm fresh up off the flight, headed towards a life boat
[00:47.82] Hope their word has good credit like a FICO
[00:50.64] Only time will tell but I been feelin' like it's my time
[00:53.44] How long you gonna keep your star player on the sidelines?
[00:56.32] But, I'm the coach, guess God is the owner
[00:59.01] Guess I'm just waitin' for that tap on my shoulder
[01:01.83] Tellin' me to go in, I'mma stop the game
[01:04.68] Blow the whistle like Snowden, young Terrell Owens
[01:07.70] Makin' noise, still one of the greats though
[01:10.23] I never RIP, I want MVP written on my gravestone
[01:13.50] Your boy buzzin' in I swear this life is like a game show
[01:16.21] One man army, when I sing, I get Tank hoes
[01:19.25] Yeah, you know that R&B freak love
[01:22.44] Weed so loud, I need you all to speak up
[01:24.91] I hope every album that I drop has Carter III buzz
[01:27.96] Wake up, I'm tryna live a life you couldn't dream of
[01:30.80] I'm careful with who I include in all of this
[01:33.72] 'Cause most want a free ride but I ain't handin' out scholarships
[01:36.41] Went to college for a semester
[01:37.99] All it taught me was that college ain't for everyone
[01:40.60] I'm not like everybody, so I left
[01:42.33] My mom still supported but she was upset
[01:45.01] 'Till she saw the crowd scream my name out on Sunset
[01:47.72] She got to watch her son light up the whole spot
[01:50.68] Right there in that moment it's like she understood my whole plot
[01:53.51] Different women, different offers every day now
[01:56.20] I could see the reason why some people wanna hate now
[01:59.24] 'Cause my past 24 been more action packed than Jack Bauer
[02:02.21] Made 100 thousand in the past hour
[02:04.49] It's been a whirlwind, let me hit the blunt with you
[02:07.13] Barely in the industry and I already got trust issues
[02:10.43] Damn, or maybe past relationships, did that
[02:13.56] I gave 'em all my trust and I ain't never get this shit back
[02:16.22] But, fuck it, 'cause I'm on to new things
[02:19.49] I looked up at the sky, long enough, I grew wings
[02:21.83] Now I'm talkin' to myself like they gon' try and break you
[02:24.82] God forbid that happens, breakdowns create break-throughs
[02:27.74] I'm sittin' on a debut, sounds like your greatest hits
[02:30.93] Labels tryna eat, so of course they want a stake in it
[02:33.69] Of course they're talkin' money, so of course I entertain this shit
[02:36.61] Of course they lookin' at my table tryna find a place to sit
[02:39.29] I'm patient with my process, weighin' all my options
[02:42.08] Ya'll talkin' way too much, all these phone calls sound like auctions
[02:45.20] Funny 'cause y'all used to laugh when I would say I'm ready
[02:47.84] Now the ones who doubted me are gonna tell you how they met me
[02:50.50] When I'm standin' where I knew I would, number 1 spot
[02:53.35] Another year, another rapper, yeah, another one flop
[02:56.21] Y'all barely fuckin' the game, you on the scene for 5 minutes
[02:59.13] Then you bust and it's over, I'm a movie, you're just a snippet
[03:01.75] This that '89 Pistons, fuck the game up, get rings shit
[03:04.79] Name your favorite rapper, bet I got him on my hit list
[03:07.77] Name your dream girl, bet I end up on her wish list
[03:10.57] Tell me how you want it, beast raps, or I could sing shit
[03:13.56] It's time to wake up, industry full of hypnotists
[03:16.02] I speak for myself, I don't need a ventriloquist
[03:18.95] I need a vacation to where the real people live
[03:21.60] You just stay on vacation, havin' real ego trips
[03:24.56] You don't wanna admit, that without you I'll be fine
[03:27.62] But the truth is hard to swallow when you chokin' on your pride
[03:30.37] That goes for the girls I swooped in on
[03:33.07] Made their brain drool, they gave top with a bib on
[03:35.74] Always keep my switch on, watch me illuminate
[03:38.35] Up at the studio, Drake is just a room away
[03:41.36] Maybe I should barge in, maybe I should wait
[03:43.95] This gon' be a funny story couple months from today
[03:46.84] When I tell it, and it's like
[03:48.84] Damn, yup
