[Intro]
Stars get no sleep
Last joint left some things you can't keep
People saying some things I can't be
Sunset falls (But that's alright I've always been me)
[Chorus]
The sunset falls, the stars get no sleep
Last joint left some things you can't keep (The sunset falls)
So many people saying the things I can't be
But that's alright, I'll always be me
The sunset falls, the stars get no sleep
Last joint left some things you can't keep (The sunset falls)
So many people saying the things I can't be
But that's alright, I'll always be me
[Post-Chorus]
The sunset falls (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
The sunset falls (Saying that I can't be, uh-uh)
[Verse 1]
Always been me, always been me
Since I popped out KB
Still in the hood like plate thief's
Niggas can't even play me
Rap on motivational, though the ratio often ain't on my team
Lean on me, ain't no sunshine when we gone
I need two phones 'cause these joints just keep goin'
Hit my dance 'cause I can and I keep goin'
I got them bands, you in the stands, yeah just keep goin'
I'm in the club, yeah, uh, what? Free throwin'
Tell 'em throw some Keef on
Okay, make it drop like free fall
Pop stop default
Now bring it up, sea saw
Yee-haw, I'ma run it up like pizza
For everyone on every one of these tracks 'til the make wax stats of my people
I don't need you like Peter (Shh)
Restoration, not a resignation
I'ma educate you with a destination
Like a travel agent, I just had to take 'em
When the spot was vacant, like evacuation
I was down to make it with no elevation
Dead weight, I ain't a patient-patient
No hesitation in my animation
But it's candid moments in the sweet life
Bob your head if the beat right
Bow your head before you eat right
Run it back like the B-side
Got 'em off the wall, like a deep swim
Make the crowd mosh like Black Friday
I'm a block star, not a rock star but a pop star in Vegas
I know loud crowds and bright lights and all types of haters
I like Off-White and long nights and restaurants that cater
We go all out 'til we fall out, that's the only thing that's major
That's the only thing that's major, that's the only thing that's major
[Chorus]
The sunset falls, the stars get no sleep
Last joint left some things you can't keep (The sunset falls)
So many people saying the things I can't be
But that's alright, I'll always be me
The sunset falls, the stars get no sleep
Last joint left some things you can't keep (The sunset falls)
So many people saying the things I can't be
But that's alright, I'll always be me (The sunset falls)
[Verse 2]
Yeah
Back in this bitch like I never left
I ain't searchin' for a treasure chest
But I just did thirty thousand reps
And the broad shoulders still hit 'em best
Independent, we been gettin' checks
Me and Chano, the Bennetts invented that
Please do not get into any that
You don't got credit to give me that
Anything's possible when you got plenty racks
Fun jump, clap, clap
Drums, snares, contracts, ho
Know I'm 'bout my racks, that's big facts
2015 Rosenberg interviews talking 'bout TuneCore
Here's my voice, now use yours
In the great words of Chief Keef
"All the lil' kids crazy"
Too rich for common sense
No, all this money cannot save me
Got me sendin' "Be yourself" hoodies to rappers on the daily
A lot of artist with advances, don't advance and make it
So we did it by our lonely, ain't a chance you'd take it
This is the future of the youth, stop tryna turn us backwards
My satisfaction lies in blackness, bitch, I own my masters
Ali like Cassius, all my assets to sons when ashes
I run Chicago, they gon' run the world and run it faster
I'm on the TV but in the streets like graffiti
My folks been on the block, since block's was never TV
Promise to keep real like uncle Phil did with Will
Daddy been gang-gang since potty trained for the fame
Somethin' peculiar about millionaires, entrepreneurs, and drugs dealers
Got a feelin' that if I squeal they gon', uh
So I just keep the melody, melody
While they subtly tellin' me
Peddlin' darker melodies
I could still be a better me
I could still be a better me
I could still be a better me
Somethin' they could never be
[Outro]
Yo, shout out, uh, Steve Stout, man
Uh, over there at United Masters
Shout out Erika over there at SoundCloud
Um, you know what I'm sayin'?
Shout out my dude Chris and Lee Parson over there at Ditto, distribution services
Um, and you know, everybody that's really out there, just givin' out a platform for us independent artist to you know, own our masters and do our thing, um
Shout out to Jay for you know puttin' out the vision for everybody
Shout out for Chance for bein', um
You know for bein' the, the biggest independent artist of all time, you know three Grammys
Um, you know all that, but you know, I don't really wanna, uh, chat too much up to you
You know what I'm sayin', everybody else besides myself, you know I'm out every day
Um, puttin' up that fight too, you know what I'm sayin'
For artists just like us man, so you know repost, share this joint, throw it on your Instagram, uh
And you know if you tag me in the next few days, I'll follow you back
I'ma try 'cause it's a lot of people listenin'
