[INTRO]
 
Am I gotta be
D7 Everything that I can be
Bm I gotta Do this thing, honestly
E7 Why can't I Do it all? Honestly
 
[VERSE]
Am I bet I shock 'em when I drop,
Am I know they probably think I'm washed
D7 I'm kettle cookin' with the chip,
D7 it's on my shoulders 'til we win
Bm I'm gettin' older by the minute, yeah,
 
I really had it up to here
E7 They always lookin' like they're wingin' it,
 
I been plannin' every meal, mm
 
Am Got me sippin' on this beer, ooh,
 
and I don't even fuck with beer, no
D7 I need some water and ideas, yeah,
 
I gotta start to make it clear, uh
Bm I'm kinda peepin' all the fallacy,
 
I'm powered by thе people doubtin' me
E7 I had to еat it like a ton of calories
 
and the analogy is that I'm blowin' up
 
Am But I've been carryin' this weight
D7 So I found a way and now they weighin' in on my art
Bm But I will never let nobody second guess my heart (Uh)
 
I'm really sick of all the pageantry (Mm)
 
And they don't even have the faculties
E7 Yet they tryna teach me what I have to be (Mm)
E7 Am But they don't comprehend the packaging openin' up
 
Fuck my old shit, all of it sucked
D7 Piss on them records, I shit on them records
 
I thank everybody who saw the potential in me
Bm But I still had to get it inevitably
 
If I could, I would sit down
E7 and conversate with every hater and try to debate 'em
 
I know it's subjective,
Am but it's my objective to Do it so well that it's not
 
You can count on me, one, two, three
D7 When you got the vision up in you,
 
why would I give a fuck what they tryna see? (Uh)
Bm How can I make such insensitive shit and be so sensitive?
E7 I'm hypocritical, too hypercritical
E7 It can get miserable,
E7 I'm up on Twitter and I'm readin' into it
 
Am And the most pitiful part of the whole thing
 
is I wanna tweet that I'm up at the pinnacle
D7 I wanna make 'em remember they didn't know
 
I wanna pound it in their head like Riddick Bowe
Bm I gotta tell you some shit that you didn't know
Bm Or I can let it Go and just forget it
E7 But if I forget it, then they'll never get it
E7 Am But now it's all startin' to feel unforgettable, you lil' bitch
 
Am Yeah, leveled up (Uh)
Am D7 Fuck all that bein' benevolent
 
I Am the best there never was
Bm Remember there ain't no timelines when you timeless (No)
Bm Ain't no guidelines when you guideless (Uh)
E7 Sippin' Mai Tais, stand in top fives,
E7 knowin' my time isn't timeless
 
Am It's tickin' it (Tick tick, tick tick, tick tick)
 
Am Please don't make me get a TikTok
 
Got my feet up while they flip flop
 
People tryna speak for hip hop
 
Got me really 'bout to call the opps out
 
I think if I did, I'd have an anxiety attack
 
But maybe they'll feel how real my raps are
 
Maybe they'll believe me when I say
 
I know I could get it if I want (Uh)
 
But gettin' that's not gettin' that
 
if you don't get it how you want (Uh)
 
I know that's privileged, but I been embraced by a community
 
'Cause I'm not doin' you, I'm doin' me
 
But I just really hope you see the you in me (Yeah)
 
'Cause if you act cool with your guard up
 
Then you probably out here just ballin' like Hot Sauce (Uh)
 
I'm in another fuckin' league (My G)
 
I don't really care what the Ebros think
 
I don't really care what they need (No)
 
I got 'em out here actin' childish (Uh)
 
My mama hope for an engagement (Uh)
 
But I been focused on engagement
 
This entertainment, can't entertain that shit (No)
 
I hate doin' karaoke, but I love doin' festivals, my G (Uh)
 
I tried to be the G.O.A.T.
 
before I tried a vegetable, my G
 
Two times out of ten, I might get a centerfold,
 
but I ain't lookin' for a GD
 
Flowin' with the rap like I get it out the tap,
 
I ain't out here lookin' for a Fiji
 
Yeah, I been out of bounds with it ever since I stepped in
 
Had to smile at the intervention
 
Back in Maui, I could feel the tension
 
Head down, workin' high tension
 
That's how it goes with intentions (Uh)
 
I'm pessimistic that I'm losin' some,
 
but I'm optimistic we can get wins
 
Icons tellin' me I'm re inventin' genres
 
Meanwhile a hipster in pajamas sleepwalkin'
 
through another blog post
 
Groundbreakin' every time I step out
 
You know no one took it, I just stepped down
 
Now the chef cookin', are you fed now? (Mm)
 
We'll see who's hungry in the end
 
[OUTRO]
 
I gotta be (I gotta be)
 
Gotta be (Gotta be)
 
Gotta be (Gotta be)
 
(Honestly)
