No Applause

[Intro]
Dee-1
(I Hope They Hear Me)
(I don't rock with yes men)
Look man, we 'bout to do something different
I don't want no applause, no hands up, none of that
Let's go

[Chorus]
I don't want no applause, please don't clap
You ain't gotta make a sound, just listen and relate to my rap
Don't scream, don't put your hands up
If you sitting, stay sitting, you ain't gotta stand up
Don't gas my head up, don't tell me I'm nice
Just pray for me one time, after that go enjoy your life
'Cause you don't owe me nothing, people, you ain't gotta clap
As far as you know I'm just another cat tryna rap, yeah
Let's go

[Verse 1]
Give me three minutes, let me paint a quick picture
Scoot over on that bench and let me take a sit with you
I left my Blackberry at the crib today
Ain't no distractions, I'ma tell you how it is today
[?] like a rapper, then say he's no longer cold
But I'm too busy chasing goals, tryna [?] my soul
But this ain't about what I sold or what I will
I'm helping others give birth to new ideas
Even if they on that pill, for real? Chill, I have no deal
I'm starving artist, baby, still looking for my meal
That's why I wonder what they mean when they tell me that I'm ill
Am I sick from this hunger in my stomach that I feel?
Ayy, five-star restaurants can't quite fill me
For the past three years the devil been tryna kill me
Two bad car wrecks plus a gun to the head
But I ain't dead, I just use it as motivation instead

[Chorus]
I don't want no applause, please don't clap
You ain't gotta make a sound, just listen and relate to my rap
Don't scream, don't put your hands up
If you sitting, stay sitting, you ain't gotta stand up
Don't gas my head up, don't tell me I'm nice
Just pray for me one time, after that go enjoy your life
'Cause you don't owe me nothing, people, you ain't gotta clap
As far as you know I'm just another cat tryna rap
So when I yell "That's a wrap," that's a wrap

[Verse 2]
Ayy, ayy, ayy
Been searching for the answers, now I think I finally found it
Used to never could tell if folks would be amazed or dumbfounded
I would be out on the stage pouring out my whole heart
Meanwhile wondering what they thought [?] caught
Between one side of their brain saying "This ain't what I'm used to"
And the other saying "He the truth," so it's like they stuck in neutral
"Should I hate him or love him?"
What I learned is they'd rather be indifferent until somebody big discover 'em
'Cause he's different and he's southern and he uttering all
Hopefully this time next year his favorite color gon' be blue
Symbolizing what he gon' do in the next twelve months
The grind got me high as Curren$y [?] on twelve blunts
And I ain't never had one, so I don't know if that's [?]
But my dog spelled backwards got me feeling unstoppable
Ain't no clapping when I'm done
I don't want no clapping when I'm done
Just let me words [?] on your eardrum, One

[Chorus]
I don't want no applause, please don't clap (Nah)
You ain't gotta make a sound, just listen and relate to my rap (Just listen)
Don't scream, don't put your hands up
If you sitting, stay sitting, you ain't gotta stand up (Stay still)
Don't gas my head up, don't tell me I'm nice (None of that)
Just pray for me one time, after that go enjoy your life (Your life)
'Cause you don't owe me nothing, people, you ain't gotta clap
As far as you know I'm just another cat tryna rap
So when I yell "That's a wrap," that's a wrap

[Outro]
Yeah, so when I yell "That's a wrap," that's a wrap
Yeah, so when I yell "That's a wrap," that's a wrap
Shout out to Drizzy Drake
Had like the biggest buzz from an unsigned artist I done ever seen
And that's the only artist I know who ever had Birdman listening to R&B, haha, yeah
And when I opened for that boy at Tulane
I did kill it, slaughtered it
Ask anybody, it's on YouTube
That's it
