Eric G - Entitled lyrics

[Verse 1: Torae] I see everybody rapping now, well I been the sh** Thought it was destiny just because I could spit I thought that was it, as long as you been nice with the bars God, eventually something will click And then you get the record deal and you'll be a star With millions of fans, people will know who you are But is you grinding or nah? I figure my comp ain't had work So comparably you ain't work as hard How entitled we are just because of the gift But that ain't the half, what really making it is Really making it is you getting off of your a** And seizing the moment and never letting it pa** ‘Cause you could be ga**ed, but other people with drive Will be on your heels and end up pa**ing you by Got you feeling like why, no time to be stifled And just ‘cause we want it, it doesn't mean we entitled For real [Hook: Teedra Moses] You're so special Baby you're a superstar The whole world is yours [?] you think you are (you're everything) You're so special You're so special You're so special You're so special (you're everything) [Verse 2: Torae] I see everybody famous now ‘cause of the Gram The b**hes is bad and all your homies the man But is it a scam, you can't put a filter on life, dog The same way you do it on cam I do it for the fam, some people do it for fame Is you making a difference or you just making it rain?

One thing I got out of it was magic I'd like to share with you. You know, it's like, I was leaving and I was sitting in the hotel, and a voice said to me, it said, ‘look around. What do you see?' And I said, ‘I see all colors of people doing everything, you know', and a voice said, ‘do you see any n***as?' And I said, ‘no.' And it said ‘you know why ‘cause there aren't any.' And it hit me like a shot, man. I started crying and sh**. I was sitting there. I said, ‘yeah I been here in three weeks. I haven't even said it. I haven't even thought it.' And it made me say ‘oh my god, I've been wrong. I've been wrong. I got to regroup my sh**. I mean' I said ‘I ain't gon' never call another black man n***a.' You know ‘cause we never was no n***as. That's a word that's used to describe our own wretchedness…”
