I don’t make beats
People always think I make beats, but…
I don’t make beats
I guess I look like I make beats
Yeah, I dabble with Logic and Reason
But there’s too many knobs that need tweaking
So please, say it with me:
NAHreally doesn’t make beats
[VERSE 1]
The other day I found a really dope sample
I went home, fumbled, scrambled
In some software to add drums and a bass line
In other words, waste time
Yeah, I made a couplе B- slaps
But should really use all my free time to writе raps
I don’t wanna fiddle with some hi-hats
Or filter shit so the low pass. What the fuck is that?
Did I make this one? Don’t guess
Just know it’s somebody that I met on the internet
And guess what, they’re better than I’ll ever be
So I’d rather give them money than EQ and Hz
Respect due to every single producer
Who puts their face mad close to the computer
To drag, drop, nudge, tweak
Without them there’s no me because I don’t make beats

Honestly, I’m kind of flattered
People think I might be more than just a rapper
My bad, sorry to disappoint
I’m good at picking which to hit, but I didn’t roll the joint
It’s right there in the credits
And there it’ll stay just in case you forget it
Streaming services should make them more prominent
They’re carrying these rappers and they barely get acknowledgement
I wish I loved digging in the crates
I wish I loved running shit through tape
No SP404 or MPC
Cop stems if I’m lucky, but settle for WAV of mp3
That last bit was kind of niche
If you got unique beats hit my beep beep, capeesh, chief?
And CC whoever needs to be included
Plus the fees needed if I use it
