MVP

[00:05.30] Yeah

[00:07.30] I make money off of bein' myself

[00:08.30] Get a glimpse of my potential when I believe in myself

[00:11.29] Yeah

[00:13.54] Yeah

[00:16.04] Yeah

[00:19.53] Yeah

[00:23.07] It's gettin' harder to tell the difference between reality and dreams

[00:25.53] The lines keep blurrin' like I'm drivin' half asleep

[00:28.31] I'm invitin' you to see who's next up in this rap shit

[00:31.31] Hooks, beats and verses, every song I score a hat trick

[00:34.30] Always said I'd never sign but lately, I been tempted

[00:37.05] 'Cause my dad just asked for gas money, my mom just said she spent it

[00:39.56] It's easy to pass judgement when you comfortable in life

[00:42.30] But desperation breeds a beast, the truth won't always be polite

[00:45.31] So I'm fresh up off the flight, headed towards a life boat

[00:48.05] Hope their word has good credit like a FICO

[00:51.31] Only time will tell but I been feelin' like it's my time

[00:54.30] How long you gonna keep your star player on the sidelines?

[00:57.06] But, I'm the coach, guess God is the owner

[00:59.78] Guess I'm just waitin' for that tap on my shoulder

[01:03.03] Tellin' me to go in, I'mma stop the game

[01:05.80] Blow the whistle like Snowden, young Terrell Owens

[01:08.31] Makin' noise, still one of the greats though

[01:11.06] I never RIP, I want MVP written on my gravestone

[01:13.80] Your boy buzzin' in I swear this life is like a game show

[01:16.83] One man army, when I sing, I get Tank hoes

[01:19.55] Yeah, you know that R&B freak love

[01:22.55] Weed so loud, I need you all to speak up

[01:25.30] I hope every album that I drop has Carter III buzz

[01:29.04] Wake up, I'm tryna live a life you couldn't dream of

[01:31.05] I'm careful with who I include in all of this

[01:34.28] 'Cause most want a free ride but I ain't handin' out scholarships

[01:37.03] Went to college for a semester

[01:38.78] All it taught me was that college ain't for everyone

[01:41.31] I'm not like everybody, so I left

[01:42.53] My mom still supported but she was upset

[01:45.82] 'Till she saw the crowd scream my name out on Sunset

[01:48.52] She got to watch her son light up the whole spot

[01:51.56] Right there in that moment it's like she understood my whole plot

[01:54.30] Different women, different offers every day now

[01:57.05] I could see the reason why some people wanna hate now

[01:59.80] 'Cause my past 24 been more action packed than Jack Bauer

[02:02.31] Made 100 thousand in the past hour

[02:05.05] It's been a whirlwind, let me hit the blunt with you

[02:08.03] Barely in the industry and I already got trust issues

[02:10.55] Damn, or maybe past relationships, did that

[02:14.33] I gave 'em all my trust and I ain't never get this shit back

[02:16.56] But, fuck it, 'cause I'm on to new things

[02:19.55] I looked up at the sky, long enough, I grew wings

[02:22.53] Now I'm talkin' to myself like they gon' try and break you

[02:25.52] God forbid that happens, breakdowns create break-throughs

[02:28.52] I'm sittin' on a debut, sounds like your greatest hits

[02:31.31] Labels tryna eat, so of course they want a stake in it

[02:33.83] Of course they're talkin' money, so of course I entertain this shit

[02:36.81] Of course they lookin' at my table tryna find a place to sit

[02:39.55] I'm patient with my process, weighin' all my options

[02:42.80] Ya'll talkin' way too much, all these phone calls sound like auctions

[02:45.31] Funny 'cause y'all used to laugh when I would say I'm ready

[02:48.55] Now the ones who doubted me are gonna tell you how they met me

[02:51.06] When I'm standin' where I knew I would, number 1 spot

[02:54.05] Another year, another rapper, yeah, another one flop

[02:56.80] Y'all barely fuckin' the game, you on the scene for 5 minutes

[02:59.55] Then you bust and it's over, I'm a movie, you're just a snippet

[03:02.56] This that '89 Pistons, fuck the game up, get rings shit

[03:05.58] Name your favorite rapper, bet I got him on my hit list

[03:08.80] Name your dream girl, bet I end up on her wish list

[03:11.07] Tell me how you want it, beast raps, or I could sing shit

[03:14.05] It's time to wake up, industry full of hypnotists

[03:17.07] I speak for myself, I don't need a ventriloquist

[03:19.55] I need a vacation to where the real people live

[03:22.57] You just stay on vacation, havin' real ego trips

[03:25.55] You don't wanna admit, that without you I'll be fine

[03:28.56] But the truth is hard to swallow when you chokin' on your pride

[03:31.06] That goes for the girls I swooped in on

[03:33.80] Made their brain drool, they gave top with a bib on

[03:36.53] Always keep my switch on, watch me illuminate

[03:39.33] Up at the studio, Drake is just a room away

[03:42.30] Maybe I should barge in, maybe I should wait

[03:44.81] This gon' be a funny story couple months from today

[03:47.77] When I tell it, and it's like

[03:49.05] Damn, yup
