For The Record

(Sound Bite of an Interview with Kareem Abdul Jabbar)
They don't pay you to play, they pay you to win. Okay, if you were playing to play you could do that at the Y. But uh, they pay you to win, and that additional pressure can bring things out of you that aren't really selling features of your personality. But, people who see you play all the time think you're just that way and you end up being another person. It surprises me

(Verse 1: KvreeM)
They say I do too much in my music to get myself known
They try to make me think twice before I drop these songs
So I did
Best bеlieve i'ma do it
And if I can't take Rvpturе with me
We screaming screw it
Cause without them who's KvreeM
Who's Ahmad, Who's Rvvkil
That's just to name a few in this crew who won't fail
3 Days left until the records drop
Staring at this desktop
Can't believe I did this in a year
2014 in pawnshops
Didn't have a camera or laptop
It was getting hard, worked nonstop
Lost my girl, gained some opps
Got a job, bought backdrops
Did a video for DLow
Got my L's
Went through hell just to gain some credits in summer school
Woah look at me, look at me
Performing in front of seats
Honestly, I'm on a spree and I didn't mention
2015, 2015
Cause nigga we made it
And I'm only a teen

(Chorus)
So who you tryna' be
Where you tryna' go
Just another employee
Or another broke negro
See I just wanna shine
Outta put that on your mind
Ain't much out there to prove
But not to be another who

1,2,3,4

(Verse 2)
And I ain't stopping til' the piggies fly
On a cold day in hell
Or when the immortals die
I spit this fire-ous rhythm misunderstood from you and I
Said to be admired by most whenever I'm in sight
See I use to fall in love with toy trucks
I use to think the world would die without it's precious lucks
But I'm getting cream
And I understand that cash rules everything around me
Dolla' dolla' bill yall

You follow these words, you know that it's true
What's up to the guys, hello to the new
My name is KvreeM
Rvpture is my crew
I've been here for days
I know what to do
My lyrical mind got me running through
These lyrical lines, that's nothing to you
Remember times for features I had to beg for bucks
Nobody really gave a-
So I had to beg for fucks
Now what do niggas do when they need some food
A skibbity Skat, bust a rap
Then ask what I do

The Mothers
Kids and Fathers
All get ready
For another
Generation
Of creation
So listen closely
This is the record

Where I come from ain't no boxing
If you're blessed, then use your blessings
I heard winners move in silence so I act like I'm napping
And while you're sleeping on my rapping go play some wack -ish
Throw on your Gucci goggles and some truk-fit
Don't follow this
If you with that movement they got you brainwashed
I squash the pish posh do my own thing
Pay my own cost
Still ain't lost
Still ain't lost

(Course)
So who you tryna' be
Where you tryna' go
Just another employee
Or another broke negro
See I just wanna shine
Outta put that on your mind
Ain't much out there to prove
But not to be another who

So who you tryna' be
Where you tryna' go
Just another employee
Or another broke negro
See I just wanna shine
Outta put that on your mind
Ain't much out there to prove
But not to be another who
