I gotta be I swear I gotta be (x2) Hate or love it I'm on the way to the summit And all the haters are waitin' to see the day that I plummet They bettter stay in they place because the paper is comin' And when I make it their bank is gettin' a payment of nothin' Now I'm destined to make it big, I think by now I've made that evident But I'm grindin' till they know Calvin Coolidge as the rapper and not the president See, I don't wanna live an average life Drive an average car f** an average wife Have a couple of kids These are average sights In the average life of the average white And now all these kids are bein' raised as fools Parents made 'em believe that being average is cool Now I look like the best who has ever lived Cuz I'm being compared to the average kid I gotta be I swear I gotta be When the fame came things got a lil tricky Now hell's on Earth I ain't talkin' Lil Nicky Let me blow a lil sticky While I get a lil hickey By a certified dime from lower Mississippi So far it's a hard life But it's all alright Wanna battle me I'm always down for a bar fight Made it through the hard times Baby now it's our time Grindin' till I get more gigs than your hard drive Since she was a kid she's been wishing for this And now the moment is closer and I'm Gold like the fish in the bowl When I Timmy Turner a** over and man So many people had my back, whether asain white or black So, I could never really give a f** who hates me I made it with a little bit a' trust With a little bit a' luck With a little bit a' fu*k YOU PAY ME I gotta be I swear I gotta be I told, life to come and battle me I'm shootin' at reality And if I get defeated then I'm dealing with fatality It really isn't sad to me I'm ready for a casualty Cuz I don't give a f** but that's just my personality The hate's been strong The sensation's gone But I'm gonna get it back though the wait's been long Most people choose their path in life but, but I'mma pave my own So tired I could snap like a, stress fracture I wanna go back to when none of it mattered It was nothin' but laughter But now none of it's happenin' And all I got left are the d** and this rappin' sh** At the end of the day I'm defendin' my way And it's easy to say I'd rather fail than to never try Cuz you know what they say.. Heroes get remembered but legends never die
