Foreign Allegiance - Listen lyrics

[Hook: Matthew Koma] Listen to your heart for your god's sake You'll move a mile I'll answer all the prayers that your lips place Corrupt Bible eyes [Verse 1: Jon Connor] AVM right? Look Think about all the things I've seen Think about the places I've been Thinking that I wanna run this rap sh** And I'm in the rap race And I'm thinking about the place I'm in No second place I win Wait let me catch my wind Pour it on thick when your skin's too thin Feeling like I'm hanging from a limb You don't wanna see my vision Well homie let me correct your lense f** n***a get on I woulda did anything just to get on I used to say I was the sh** Then they played me like I ain't sh** Then the same n***as I'ma sh** on Cause instead of getting pissed off It was countdown and lift off Now the haters looking at me Like they trying to win it It's tough when I cut their wrist off Now when I say "jump" n***as looking like Kriss Kross Gotta be blessed Cause if you think this the strategy guess You won't believe my mentality packed with regrets And insanity it's just a fantasy, well Trapped in a shell I feel like I'm trapped in this Hell Convict that's back in a cell Biting my nails On the road to riches But I feel like the Devil is hot on my trail I'm consumed with getting to the place that I wanna be But I ain't there Somebody told me that life ain't fair But I ain't them and they ain't here Nightmares living my dream But I don't sleep so I don't care I look fear in the face I anytime I'm in the booth And I ain't scared, BUH! [Hook] x2 [Verse 2: SRH] Yeah! I gotta speak truth I gotta let it all go 'till it's see-thru You think these motherf**ers want it? Well me too, yeah me too I'm too cold for 'em, couldn't heat you I got a little bit of energy saved They're saying I'm ahead of my game and that I'm headed for fame I just want you to remember my name Couldn't care about the paper 'till it's made Yeah, can't touch it Give them hell boy, never kick the bucket I gotta give them all gold 'till they can't stomach Anything I've ever put out, finna slam dunk it I put my hand up it like a damn puppet You really want to be me, motherf**er? I don't think you really got dreams, motherf**er Let it be, motherf**er I'm a beast, motherf**er I'm a treat, motherf**er's like a tree, motherf**er It's the only way to do it Never lie to me, never do it in my music I'm a real boss, ready give me money I'ma use it And my team ball out, out of bounds, shootin' Follow my heart, never been about the money If it was, I'd be out here getting paid stuntin' All these paid checks but I never really loved it So you gotta understand why I risk it all for nothing, Yeah! Follow me and I'ma make my mark Lifes calling me, I'ma play my part Made my colony, never faked my art Give you all me, finna make my start Finna break this star like it's all on me Listen to my heart, man it's all I see Out of all my dreams it's the one that I'm bleeding Money come and go boy, but it go for a reason You gotta [Verse 3: Maffew Ragazino] Game, Yeah, It's Senior! All I wanna do is be great And I ain't even tryna to wait (wait) Never been a n***a to play it safe I put it all on the line out of confidence Yessir I got a whole lotta faith Can't ever win it big if there ain't no risk Gotta fight that fight even though the sh**'s fixed Look, if you wanna right you gotta do it like this My OG told me never look back so I never reminisce I keep pressing on, keep gringing on Full speed, left lane with my blinders on Never got to get ready I was born ready And I pace sh**, gotta make sure my time is on And I want to live forever Is that too much to ask for? 'f** you n***as think I rap for? To push a Toyota Avalon? Fanbase growing legs now New people are catching on n***as wanna steal my thunder But can't emulate my perfect storm Frank the Butcher Adidas Forms Topless Hilfigger my jeans are foreign Top 5, dead or alive it's all me me me Cause your favorite MC's are boring
