A freebie single released by Urban Prodigy in January 2016, the song parallels Urban’s point of view of the lavish life he would live if he was rich/famous, and the terrible life he lives now, and uses it as both self-deprecation and motivation to get to a place of a “god”, or someone important, in...
[Intro]
Brrrr, uh
You hear the demons screaming?
[Hook]
They all claimed you're a facade
But when you're on, they'll all applaud
Whether you're home or you're abroad
They'll all see that you're a god
They all claimed you're a facade
But when you're on, they'll all applaud
Whether you're home or you're abroad
They'll all see that you're a god
[Verse 1]
I'm living in the city the environment is shitty
& everybody who losing never wanna see you winning
I'm vicious with the diction but I got no riches
Guess you gotta be a genie just to get some fuckin' wishes
You gettin' fine china while I'm washing dirty dishes
& you gettin' bad bitches while I'm gettin' bad bitches
I'm out here doing stupid shit so I can keep my sanity
New bucket hat, imma slave to the vanity
Spewing profanity, dub Christianity
Don't make no sense to me, lost my humanity
Drown in my thoughts think I'm losing my mind
My eyes on the light I might fuckin' go blind
Wish there was a way I could fuckin' rewind
Back into time, before I could rhyme
The simpler times, now I'm on my grind
So I'm known as sublime motherfuck your cosign, nigga
They only criticizing me cause they don't understand
I'm the man, imma win & I don't need a helping hand
Bitch I need a hunnid grand, need about a hunnid bands
Just to hold the money but I always keep it close at hand
& yea I'm doing whatever to be that fuckin' man
On top by myself, motherfuck a wedding band
Welcome to the holy land, nigga imma god
Or at least I will be once these fuck niggas feel me
[Hook]
They all claimed you're a facade
But when you're on, they'll all applaud
Whether you're home or you're abroad
They'll all see that you're a god
They all claimed you're a facade
But when you're on, they'll all applaud
Whether you're home or you're abroad
They'll all see that you're a god
[Verse 2]
I wanna hear them yell my name loud
Throw they hands up as I'm jumpin' in the crowd
Playing all my hits then they screaming for an encore
Niggas wanting photos from Orlando to the Concourse
Always daydreaming cause reality a nightmare
So much music almost blew out my right ear
Cuz that's all I got when nobody else is right there
Reaping all the benefits cause don't nobody fight fair
They swim in money while I'm drowning in my fake friends
I don't really hate them, but I'm like a toy in a playpen
I'm surprised fam even makes ends
With our ever-raised rent, wonder where the days went
When everybody was happy at least from my perspective
Over-sheltered, never felt the pain my homies dealt with
But now I do, I gotta make it out this bitch
Get famous, get rich, all my obstacles can suck dick
Drop top with a bad bitch in the passenger with ass & curves
Diamond ring with a gold chain on my neck, paid highest caliber
Watch rappers like scavengers, battle them then devour them
All in front the press & they paying me by the thousand bruh
Getting paid just to murder beats of my selection
In the studio for hours for perfection
Crowd hype for the prodigy, hottest b's wanna swallow me
Dub the people who doubted me, momma gonna be proud of me
But I know that she already was
Tryna make predictions, I might never get that kinda buzz
You ever questioned your whole motive for what you do?
What if I suck, what if I'm really not good enough?
Kinda like a needle in a haystack
Never to be found, undiscovered, I just state facts
Cuz nothing's ever promised
I could be a novice demolished by nonsense
Living in a world where the weak die
Strong survive & the family get left behind
Cold world gotta keep yourself warm
Even if I'm on my own, I gotta survive the storm
They always wanna rain on your parade
But it never work like a blind man & charades
On my way to be my own god ain't no doubt
Yea I'm gonna make it out, that's what the fuck I'm talking bout
[Hook]
They all claimed you're a facade
But when you're on, they'll all applaud
Whether you're home or you're abroad
They'll all see that you're a god
They all claimed you're a facade
But when you're on, they'll all applaud
Whether you're home or you're abroad
They'll all see that you're a god
