No Handouts

Intro:
Welcome to the life and times of Alan Z
Ain't nothing came easy for me
Em said you only get one shot...so I guess...
First impressions are everything right?
First time's the charm

Verse 1:
How would you feel, don't lie
If you were shunned by your own kind?
I make music for dimepieces
That text back on their own time
Pretty women, they love me
Do a model search in my fanbase
Same girls that wanna fuck me
Be the ones the average dude can't chase
I've been grinding my whole life
No intermission, haven't caught a break
A-F-R-O met RA, I watched The Breaks and I saw his face
I've seen Asian dudes get tattoos, riding the Korean wave
That need to be humbled, sit down, got no flow in their DNA
My skin tone not Jim Jones, but I fly high, no Icarus
I am Red and Meth tryna test just How High I can get with this
Not K-Pop, I can't give KCON what they want
When I blow up, you gon see I'm Trey Songz with napalm

Pre-Chorus:
I never had it easy
Had to come up hard, and they still got a whole lot to say
They say they don't believe me
Cuz I made it on my own, and I did it my way

Chorus:
Got no favors, had to do it by my damn self
Never fit in anywhere, I had to stand out
No handouts, no handouts, no handouts
They told me to play it safe, I can't now
Never fit in anywhere, I had to stand out
No handouts, no handouts, no handouts

Verse 2:
My mind is at war, Desert Storm
This is how legends are born
New age Fugees flow, settle The Score
Like we're on set doing porn
I penetrate pop culture
With my stroke of Genius, annotate
On a dark night, looking out for hoes
Trying to plot - Miranda Tate
I done bounced around management teams
All the work that I did for them
Felt like Anger Management
That's led by Jack Nicholson
They get so shook over my race
Acting like they can't market me
I am MJ with a 4-5
When he ain't make varsity
Dre found Em, Em found Fif
When they find me, they gon' be astounded
Transcend culture when my sound hit
So it's either me or Dumbfoundead
To cross over, pass my idols, shoot my shot and drive it in
I spell team with a capital I, and the I stands for Iverson
(We're talking about practice?)

Pre-Chorus:
I never had it easy
Had to come up hard, and they still got a whole lot to say
They say they don't believe me
Cuz I made it on my own, and I did it my way

Chorus:
Got no favors, had to do it by my damn self
Never fit in anywhere, I had to stand out
No handouts, no handouts, no handouts
They told me to play it safe, I can't now
Never fit in anywhere, I had to stand out
No handouts, no handouts, no handouts

Verse 3:
Do NOT get it confused
Don't you ever in your life
Compare me to one of these K-Pop dudes
I am way bigger than YouTube and Internet views
And if I still ain't getting through to you
Let me go Super Saiyan...

I'm not finished, I am not gonna give in
My gift is God-given
When you stop and go listen
You're hearing Nas, Eminem, Pac when I spit it
Profiting off of this, with a prophetic vision
I'm finna pop, and you CANNOT tell me different
Honest to God
If you wanna talk about image
I am like God
If it's hip-hop that you mention
Cochran, I get away bodying critics
(I'm not kidding)!

Chorus:
Got no favors, had to do it by my damn self
Never fit in anywhere, I had to stand out
No handouts, no handouts, no handouts
They told me to play it safe, I can't now
Never fit in anywhere, I had to stand out
No handouts, no handouts, no handouts
