Ryan Williams - One Take lyrics

[Verse 1] At age 18 I was the kid they loved to hate I started rap and they told me they wouldn't rate me Even though I was straight in my bars While they're creaming over their cars I'm rapping so I can reach the stars f** the kids that kicked me down f** the people that said I wouldn't make it I could write a list of sh** they said I wouldn't do And each and every single time I proved em wrong So I keep going with every single song Cause I know there's gonna be a time Where one our rhymes go viral and that's it Then they'll pretend that they knew me "Hey, I remember him, we used to talk all the time" Nah, did we f** Keep a close circle cause I don't trust anyone I've pulled knives out my back, I lost count This is the way of a warrior, I'll keep bouncing back I'll keep coming back till I'm dead [Hook] This isn't me, but I couldn't hold back They told me I was nothing, what could I do? I'm tired of sitting back, letting people just Walk over me like I'm nothing One take and that's all I need Your hate, your doubt It sounds like you have a stutter It's repetetive, just leave me alone And let me do my thing, and you do yours This is one take, and one take is all I need [Verse 2] This is not my ego, this is just plain facts I put my mind to the max making tracks But you still find a different way to doubt me I give it everything I've f**ing got And quitting's just not an option What's it gonna take for all you close minded f**s to understand the concept? You really think I've got time for all this nonsense? This isn't my type of music but God I'm just getting pissed off See, to you this is a joke, a little project I guess you'll never understand this kind of mindset They said I wouldn't last, and I'd be an upset This is no hobby, it's my life goddamit I'll never stop spilling my life on the page Pen and paper are my gameplan, the only one's I need Constantly refreshing my page for fresh ammo You fail to see you're obsessed with the Dan Lewandowski Show [Hook] This isn't me, but I couldn't hold back They told me I was nothing, what could I do? I'm tired of sitting back, letting people just Walk over me like I'm nothing One take and that's all I need Your hate, your doubt It sounds like you have a stutter It's repetetive, just leave me alone And let me do my thing, and you do yours This is one take, and one take is all I need
