Danny Brown - Hell For It lyrics

[Verse 1] Holy spirit When I look I cannot see Reflection in the mirror Broke bread with the Judas And I think I see it clearer These n***as want what’s mine But I be damn if I’m a give up Stuck up in the hood Praying rap would get me out Momma ‘bout to lose her house Gotta figure this sh** out Use to catch the bus to 12th Just to hustle for some Prada In the kitchen with my uncle Beat the pot like a piñata Baraka wit the product Use to hide it in my closet Type of sh** That have a fiend Crawling on his carpet Walking over carca**es Of artists in my garden Nice with the bars Even the beat begs my pardon Got me mistaken m**m salami bacon Always on the defense So it’s no offense taken I’m smoking on them raisins From the bay they taste amazing Cajun kicking flavor All the time Not on occasion Would be amazed All the time I heard I wouldn’t make it I was writing sh** that was so damn amazing When half these little n***as was still watching That’s so raven I was out there hustling Scraping up and saving Just to catch a 12 hour bus to NY Sleeping on the floor in studios Asking God why But never got deterred From the voice I heard inside Tell myself everyday The greatest that’s alive [Hook] And I'm a give em hell for it Until it's heaven on earth My n***a I'm a give em hell for it For whatever it’s worth My n***a I'm a give em hell for it Unless d**h come first My n***a I’m a give em hell for it For whatever it’s worth My n***a I'm a give em hell [Verse 2] Cause we living in that Actavis double cups was addicted to that Had them demons on my back Was escaping through that Blamed everybody but myself Apologies for that So they hold a n***a back For the way that I act People scared of doing business Thinking I smoke crack I react immature To anyone talking smack Cause where I'm from respect The only thing that you have Grew up virtually poor Realities unmasked So my task Is inspire your future with my past I lived through that sh** So you don’t have to go through it Stepping stones in my life Hot coals Walk with me Listen when I speak Every time talk with me Couple screws loose You don't wanna start With me Got it from Motown Feel David Ruffin pain Wanna cry right now So I’m wishing that it rain Cause I’m knowing I’m the best They compare sk**s to sales Tell myself everyday Know this sh** ain’t real Radio don’t make you ill They get a hit a they feel they self Respect for lyricism In this game ain’t none left Have a b**h like Iggy Think she sicker than me And that’s so f**ed up That’s just how this sh** be I just wanna make music f** being a celebrity Cause these songs that I write Leave behind my legacy [Hook] And I'm a give em hell for it Until it's heaven on earth My n***a I'm a give em hell for it For whatever it’s worth My n***a I'm a give em hell for it Unless d**h come first My n***a I'm a give em hell for it For whatever it’s worth My n***a [Outro] I'm a give em hell I'm a give em hell
