Lwansta - The Year lyrics

Intro: [Radio segment sample from UJFM, following Lwansta airplay] [1st Verse: Lwansta] Started as a hobby Now we're nominees We prayed about this sh** now we just got up off our knees Not the nomination but denomination in the streets We just wanna make it, and take it to heights and overseas And do exactly what we dreamed off Like a couple years ago Cause we've been out on this f**ing hustle for a couple years or so But I'm stuck in this degree now, cause it's something to fall back on Cause society tells me "be on that hustle that your dad's on" But f** it! First of all man I nominated and sh** That's a huge f** in the face to those who be steady hating and sh** That crazy day that I quit, will be the f**ing day that you celebrate, but that'll never happen I'll never fall cause I stick it out I'm try'na sell a tape And I'm independent, I need to manage That nomination I made it happen When all you have is a microphone and a dream you know you better make it happen my nig I don't depend on these co-signs It's only right that they buy the tape, and if they relate then they quote lines and I'll f** with it Now tell me, is someone still doubting so I can prove them wrong? Send them a copy of NORMVL so they can choose a song Where I was whack or was murdered on my own track If they're claiming they found it? then I'll tell them to please put down the bong Cause there's a reason, this Lwansta guys never's sleeping When inspiration hits him, his f**ing pen won't stop bleeding When I claim the season? They like "You never play fair n***a" I'm Mr. Mixtape of the Year [Hook: Lwansta] If I were you, I wouldn't waste my time Trying to figure what's going on in my mind To you, rap is just something to do To me it's really something I could never remove, so I I'm just try'na get a foot in Till I'm eating from all the effort that I put in From a hobby and now I'm up in this position Middle finger to all the f**ing opposition [2nd Verse: Lwansta] Started as a hobby Now I get to play shows It's poetry in motion ntwana, whatever I say goes I'd like to get this trophy and take it to my dad Put it in front of him, and tell him "dad I really wanna rap And I can study too, just don't make me have to put it down Cause I've been nominated twice because these people love my sound The other guys man they fear it, they're tryna break my spirit" If I won that spot on C-Live's song, you'd still hear it Man I'm so proud of myself, and all that I did and all that I am Made my mixtape of the year inside of my room with all that I have I'm probably one of the hardest working a** independent young rappers out Cause everything that I do I do by myself with nobody helping out, cause.... I want this, bad enough that I'll sacrifice A couple days of my campus life Just to be in that paradise In that studio in my bedroom, where the magic happens (magic happens) When all you have is a microphone and a dream you know you better make it happen my nig I pray they get nightmares and never sleep till they're old For every time I was slept on, and every dream I was sold Am I a f**ing joke? That's why it's so hard to take me serious? Then I drop a track, and you act like you're not hearing this? Well, f** you then I'm about to be the man now Don't have to understand how I'm about to make my fam proud You don't even have to care n***a I'm Mr. Mixtape of the Year n***a [Hook: Lwansta] [Outro] (Winner announcement sample: "And the winner is, dun dun dun duuun")
