kid c. - A TALE lyrics

[Verse] I've been working on this sh**, 24/7 I ain't ever going heaven and I know it, yeah Thinking 'bout this b**h Who tried to f** me over, give a taste of her own medicine, yeah Drinking, getting pissed Honestly that sh** ain't for me and I know it, almost made me quit music Really, f** that sh** Focusing on all the stuff I can make, maybe make a top 10 hit Honestly, I wanna be your top 3 Kid c., Corey, everybody loving me I rarely brag about some sh**, it's cheesy But when I think about it, man, I'm really glad I joined the scene I dunno if I'm cracking really lyrically But if the flow's on point, I guess that's all I f**ing need Cause if I'm acting like I'm f**ing trendy Promoting smoking kush and trees, I guarantee I'll get money, yeah And you know it, man, you working out my flaws You're laughing to the bank, I'm countin' mine, not yours I'm living off a bit of P, I'm close to poor But I won't f** around, you see, I'm what you saw Every other time you looked at who inspired you Never take the credit but c'mon, quit lying You lousy motherf**ers who be "fine", you dining? Acting like you're f**ing diamond when you barely put the time in WHAT the actual motherf** is up with you? I swear Don't you bother giving me a sh** excuse, WHAT?

Complaining to the wishing well, you waiting for that visual, ha Impatient, will you listen though? I'm thinking when you get the dough, you sharing it between us all, huh? Maybe not but I dunno what you asking me to listen to, it don't rock Praying lots, who the f**'s gonna listen, motherf**er? Go and rot I'm sorry if I talk my mind a bit, you know I'm worried that you all will leave if I don't ever f-low About the dumbest sh** and make it hot, let's f**ing go And cop the hook from J. Cole, you know So put your hands in the air now, hands in the air (f** it) Hands in the air now, hands in the- I don't need to put my hands anywhere, I don't care, living life, amazing, yeah Looking there, should I spare a moment, should I be prepared? To declare everything that's on my mind, oh, then and there? Acting square, oh, beware, trusting me is far from fair, ha Honestly, I do consider myself a fool Falling in love, what a pain, I kept it cool I never said a thing to anyone at all But I need to let it out before I lose my cool Like, it f**ing hurts, dude Wondering if I'm just feeling down when that's my f**ing mood Yeah, that sh**'s the worst, dude But anyway, let's get all hype again, just f** the truth and put your Hands in the air now, hands in the air, f** it Hands in the air now, hands in the air, f** it Hands in the air now, hands in the air (in the air) Hands in the air now, hands in the air (f**ing air) And I'll let the beat play for a bit (for a bit, motherf**er) It's a hit, it's not Friday, never is (everybody loving K, motherf**er) And I hoping somebody respects the kid (won't hold my breath, motherf**er) Cause this the tale of an up-and-comer, b**h (yeah, it's about me, motherf**er) [Outro] Yeah, it's about me, motherf**er Living 'till I'm free, motherf**er, uh
