Uh Let me break this shit down, make it simple for you niggas Yo, uh uh
I remember standing on that block Just like yesterday Uh huh D's pull up with the captain then I run I tuned your street shit into corporate A pot to a office, I give you how to be a rapper 101
First, you gotta be nice with it I build my shit ciphering Long hours in dark studios, that was the price of it Syllables, details, Spoon's house where I tightened it Uh uh Then I got so nice, I looked up and I wasn't writing it Closer to your dream now, you ready for team now Niggas who keep you focused the only ones you should be 'round I chose the hustlers who was with me holding the streets down We making dope money off of a MP3 file Now you go crazy You make the streets hot They should be playing your shit out every car, and every weed spot Every club, every barbershop 'til everything's locked Make sure when the people speak your name that everything stop Now look at you, you lit You getting twenty for a feature Your old hoes gotta hit your manager to reach ya Your niggas think you changed, and all that change made you a thinker You seen this game break the best of 'em, it's getting deeper Remember to stay grounded, don't let 'em make you into a diva You know them little traps be, the rap beefs and leeches The Jack boys will sneak ya, them tax boys can see ya Your security and lawyers, didn't enjoy you with your feet up Got the labels calling you They fly you out to talk to you, low-balling you And kinda still doubt if they could market you Turn it down to show 'em that your number was unarguable And when they double back, you charge them triple what they offered you This how you rap
They probably thought this was a coke song But so far, I been the industry's Omar Turned this shit into Snow Fall Go off every chance that I get, I guess I'm a show off Flow on any beat that you play, I feel like I showed y'all When I was up-and-coming, I had your favorites up and running Had 'em dodging features with me, when my album drop, they ducking I do press runs, they getting quiet, around that time I don't hear nothing When they drop I'm in they city, I'm outside like I been hunting Boss shit, investing my own paper now like, "Fuck it" Build another source of income 'cause rap alone won't cut it Don't leave no money on the table, let's meet and discuss the budget If they let me go today, my own career, I could fund it How they gon' weigh out your legacy? How the critics gon' judge it? Is your chapter gon' be legendary status when they shut it (Huh?) So work delivery, add in some versatility Double your workability And now you know how to be a rapper
I remember standing on that block Just like yesterday D's pull up with the captain then I run I tuned your street shit into corporate A pot to a office, I give you how to be a rapper 101 I remember standing on that block Just like yesterday D's pull up with the captain then I run I tuned your street shit into corporate A pot to a office, I give you how to be a rapper 101
