Brandon Carter - Appreciation lyrics

[Intro] I'm tryna make a name I'm tryna find my place In the game, it's either bend or break I better hold my weight. (Appreciate) (x2) [Hook] In the end, who's gon' appreciate me? I need appreciation, for my dedication. (To the game) (x3) [Verse] I gotta stay humble, I look up to the greatest Keep on drivin', persevere and know I'm not promised that I'll make it I'll have a lotta haters, 'bout a glimpse of what's waitin' Blatant on the goals, know that it's a lot to take-in Yes, it takes a lot to take it, and you'll have to taste the pavement Interrupt me; stop the hands of time And trust me, you'll come to find Life's full of moves; I'm makin' mine Goin' H-A-M all day, must stay on the grind Just put it on line Gotta make history, so don't intertwine There is no stoppin' till the throne is mine I've already done more than you will ever, wit' ya accolades combined [Post-verse 1] I'm in the game, in my sleep, on my day off King of the blacktop, but miss the tip off You got the case of the hickeys; ya tastin' lip-gloss While I'm throwin' hands, catchin' bodies like a hip toss I'm talkin' bout' k**in', just sayin' get-off Watch you get the chance in your hands, but then it slips off I catch fakes on my radar My bars be heat, fill it with flusterin' napalm Blisterin', flickerin', basalt If you don't learn that life ain't fair You won't progress, you'll just stay here Too focused now, I'm gon' chase my goals I thought one-time (one-time), just let one know There's highs & lows, they take a toke The lies, they grow, snakes will provoke That lyrically, you're matchin' who? Some of these rappers can't match this flow I spit fire, I don't need to smoke To put it bluntly, that's the way my life goes I should take all-honors, just to show If I can endure the progress, I'm workin' towards Anything that I accomplish, I capture and post Wasted life in a blink (count: uno, dos!) "Hustle, loyalty, & respect" is the life I chose Integrity, equity, is who I have most Disciplined myself; to hold back when in roast B & C is nothin', I ship that's a no B & C's my initials; oh you didn't know? I'm waitin' for a standin' ovation Instead it's crickets, lounge-vacant I'm so close, I can taste it But I don't deserve appreciation [Hook] In the end, who's gon' appreciate me? I need appreciation, for my dedication. (To the game) (x3) [Verse 2] Haven't I made a valid point You must've mistaken someone Act like I've taken somethin' "Don't talk if you fake, n' stuntin'" You know what you do to my stomach?! Know the rules of the basis Give me a challenge, I break it Talkin' defecate, homie watch you replicate! You ain't who you said you are You really repucate-ting me You ain't who you said you are There ain't no need to start tryin' You'll appreciate this lecture When those checks just start pilin' Only thing that I sell is the crack-to the case I don't ever cut myself, but I cut-to the chase I ignore everything, just to block the hate By the end of the day, do you appreciate (me) ?
