[Hook] Drops are getting in my shoes And laces alone can't take away my blues Are you only pa**ing through or Are you gonna love me? [Verse 1] Installed in me as a young kid That mediocrity won't sit It won't fly so what the f** am I doing here sitting When I can get up and get it so I Got lost in the arts Word play and amidst the bars Pissed on and pissed off So many pussies in this game it's no wonder the discharge I had no idea that I'd get this large Had no fears but the fear is ours And all I hear is applause is it cause That this dope sh** leaves them all high like a Xanax bar? The fans are all I ever did this for I push myself, but they push me more And if I fall they provide me the cushion To land on so I never hit the floor The man who gets down but he never loses Haters hit him with a couple bumps and bruises Grabs his kicks and he pumps his shoes up Moving on so he throws the deuce up Haters stiff like they saw Medusa In This World of lies, how beautiful the truth is Aimed for the fame, not to drown in the flames Cause He Ain't no more of a god than Zeus is [Bridge] And so I need you now I need you more than ever Cause I've been feeling down So under the weather This pressure's building up It's like a geyser bursting Inside of me and I don't need you to worship and treat me like I'm king Just need y'all to f**ing love me [Hook] [Verse 2] How can I expect my own fans to love me When my old-time friends don't have my back Grew up with these motherf**ers And they still can't accept that I f**ing rap, f** is that? How I have 10 thousand plus fans that I've never met But yet, my own best friends don't feel the sh** Even when its so clear that I k**ed the sh** With expectations come obligations Obstacles, whether or not you face them Is up to you, but when you got a fan-base That counts on you and that one best-friend to always vouch for you Its impossible to give up now Gotta stick with the path you've chosen Even when your down in constant loathin' Heart so cold your convinced its frozen Never knowin' Whether or not They're gonna feel it or not If they don't then what the f** you finna do now? Especially when you been out Selling records, for the record I ain't gonna fizz out See the thing about me Is you don't know a thing about me Only thing you really know is that I rap And when you think rap, you a**ociate that With the mainstream trash, wait, not so fast See if you could see where I come from, what I been through You'd understand why this pencil's never misused Every topic and issue Is unlike anything other rappers in this game might choose So come take a walk in my shoes While I sing you the blues Either you love me or love me not I'll leave that to you [Hook]
