M.I Abaga - I Believe In Me, You Should Too, Believe In You lyrics

I believe in me, you should too, believe in you They don't like it when they see a n***a win And so believe in you... believe in you! I am the dopest rapper rapping, you can't tell me nothing whether they applauding lording or they clapping whether they are caught in cap or dapping[?] If they front I'll stump without their backing yeah 10 years I've been knocking, snapping I've been styling I am not a fashion Every outing I've been bringing cash in This is intellect in action, sweat and pa**ion I don't know Pusha-T but if he ever heard about me then he should be honoured to be mentioned in the same breath as an African myth, a legend, living king of the mic now shouldn't he? I know my place in history I know you pissed at me for listing me As king to B.I.G, Pac, Em and Jay-Z All praise unto to them, I'm just into me As we all should be, if you don't agree It don't halt and pit, slow or alter me Fire in my heart, alka-seltzer please Where's the tent of gold? this is alchemy Fate and irony that ain't faulting[?] me Cause once my self-esteem was low as low can be Then I caught the glimpse of older me Yxng Dxnzl has come, set the culture free You should want to be all you're called to be They don't want to see it, ask DJ Khaled All they do is speak, say I would not reach Call you from the peak; "yes I made it b**h!" So tell me what I need approval for? sh** about to change it's a coup d'état Who would've thought those who were rooting for you Would shoot at you, try to get you to cool it off Cause they don't believe, huh I believe in you, you should too, believe in you Yeah, believe in you My friends told me like "I would have conversations with my dad." Told my dad, I said "how come you don't love me anymore?" And he said "what do you mean?" I said "you used to carry me all the time And now you're carrying... you're carrying Jesse." You were abandoned You felt abandoned and betrayed and let down "you don't love me anymore." And that... that can be a moment of terrible process for children So there you are in your lovely little world You're the shining star You're the apple of your mother's eye Possibly your father's too But you're... you're it, you're the one And all of a sudden your world is shattered And that! That can be a moment of terrible process for children and it does stay with us on some level unconsciously and you're busy trying to reclaim the attention and reclaim that I am important, I am lovable and I'm not on the edge and I haven't been abandoned It's... it often sets up a deep emotion hunger inside one (hmm) that you live with for the rest of your life sometimes
