Russ - MVP lyrics

[Intro] Yeah Make money off of bein’ myself Get a glimpse of my potential, I believe in myself Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah [Verse] It’s gettin’ harder to tell the difference between reality and dreams The lines keep blurrin’ like I’m drivin’ half asleep I’m invitin’ you to see who’s next up in this rap sh** Hooks, beats and verses, every song I score a hat trick Always said I’d never sign but lately, I been tempted ‘Cause my dad just asked for gas money, my mom just said she spent it It’s easy to pa** judgement when you comfortable in life But desperation breeds a beast, the truth won’t always be polite So I’m fresh up off the flight, headed towards a life boat Hope their word has good credit like a FICO Only time will tell but I been feelin’ like it’s my time How long you gonna keep your star player on the sidelines? But, I’m the coach, guess God is the owner Guess I’m just waitin’ for that tap on my shoulder Tellin’ me to go in, I’ma stop the game Blow the whistle like Snowden, young Terrell Owens Makin’ noise, still one of the greats though I never RIP, I want MVP written on my gravestone Your boy buzzin’ in I swear this life is like a game show One man army, when I sing, I get Tank hoes Yeah, you know that R&B freak love Weed so loud, I need you all to speak up I hope every album that I drop has Carter 3 buzz Wake up, I’m tryna live a life you couldn’t dream of I’m careful with who I include in all of this ‘Cause most want a free ride but I ain’t handin’ out scholarships Went to college for a semester All it taught me was that college ain’t for everyone I’m not like everybody, so I left My mom still supported but she was upset ‘Till she saw the crowd scream my name out on Sunset She got to watch her son light up the whole spot Right there in that moment it’s like she understood my whole plot Different women, different offers every day now I could see the reason why some people wanna hate now ‘Cause my past 24 been more action packed than Jack Bauer Made 100 thousand in the past hour It’s been a whirlwind, let me hit the blunt with you Barely in the industry and I already got trust issues Damn, or maybe past relationships, did that I gave ’em all my trust and I ain’t never get this sh** back But, f** it, ’cause I’m on to new things I looked up at the sky, long enough, I grew wings Now I’m talkin’ to myself like they gon’ try and break you God forbid that happens, breakdowns create break throughs I’m sittin’ on the debut, sounds like your greatest hits Labels tryna eat, so of course they want a stake in it And of course they talk of money, so of course I entertain this sh** Of course they lookin’ at my table tryna find a place to sit I’m patient with my process, weighin’ all my options Ya’ll talkin’ way too much, all these phone calls sound like auctions Funny ’cause you used to laugh when I would say I’m ready Now the ones who doubted me are gonna tell you how they met me When I’m standin’ where I knew I would, number 1 spot Another year, another rapper, yeah, another one flop Ya’ll barely f**in’ the game, you on the scene for 5 minutes Then you bust and it’s over, I’m a movie, you’re just a snippet This that ’89 Pistons, f** the game up, get rings sh** Name your favorite rapper, bet I got him on my hit list Name your dream girl, bet I end up on her wish list Tell me how you want it, beast raps, or I could sing sh** It’s time to wake up, industry full of hypnotists I speak for myself, I don’t need a ventriloquist I need a vacation to where the real people live You just stay on vacation, havin’ real ego trips You don’t wanna admit, that without you I’d be fine But the truth is hard to swallow when you chokin’ on your pride That goes for the girls I swooped in on Made their brain drool, they gave top with a bib on Always keep my switch on, watch me illuminate Up at the studio, Drake is just a room away Maybe I should barge in, maybe I should wait This gon’ be a funny story couple months from today When I tell it, and it’s like [Outro] Damn, yup
