Heart

[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse 1]
This music thing was never a gimmick, never a game
Hurts to see y’all put on the whack and sleep on my name
I rap too hard to just be a girl, just be a name
But I get the game is not 'bout the talent, more 'bout the fame
Can’t sleep on this, it’s heavenly sent, heaven ordained
These words I spit have killed me inside, filled me with pain
Burned and buried all of my passion, made me insane
Turned me to someone that’s crookеd and cut, stuck in this lane
No one could evеr get what I feel, pen on the book
I keep going and writing these rhymes, steady I cook
The stuff I write is water to tides, soul to the food
Wish this industry could listen about as much as they look
Hip Hop just needs the realness again, nothing to gain
Cut out all the obsession with fame, moths to a flame
How you telling us you wild on the stage, bars looking tame?
This role I used to wear with my pride is covered in shame
For me this shit has carried me through, put me at ease
But some just think they rappers 'cause they be smoking on trees
Gatekeepers proud to keep us outside they finally got keys
How Hip Hop gon have longevity we ignoring its needs?
But maybe I’m just big mad, 'cause a nigga ain’t pop
It seems everyone loves the culture vultures at the top
Right now this open letter to Hip Hop is all I’ve got
I hope to God y’all get the message
See you when I drop

[Break]
Some just think they rappers 'cause they be smoking on trees
Gatekeepers proud to keep us outside they finally got keys
How Hip Hop gon' have longevity we ignoring its needs?
But maybe I’m just big mad, 'cause a nigga ain’t pop

[Verse 2]
I can never do anything right, this shit is crazy to me
Try to fight with all of my might, this war too heavy for me
They tell me that my future’s too bright, I should be patient with me
How the fuck I’m 12 years deep and still nobody checking for me?
Let my entitlement show, gotta take care of that
Fuck it, I ain’t scared of that title like I ain’t scared to rap
Angry 'cause y’all honoring rappers who barely even rap
When I’m the one they scared to feature, scared to co-sign, scared to tag
Fucking scaredy-cats
I scare the cats I used to mimic when I learned to rap
The pupil turned to master, now niggas is scared to double tap
Like I’ll diss 'em if they like my shit or share my raps

[Break]
Some just think they rappers 'cause they be smoking on trees
Gatekeepers proud to keep us outside they finally got keys
How Hip Hop gon' have longevity we ignoring its needs?
But maybe I’m just big mad, 'cause a nigga ain’t pop
Some just think they rappers 'cause they be smoking on trees
Gatekeepers proud to keep us outside they finally got keys
How Hip Hop gon' have longevity we ignoring its needs?
But maybe I’m just big mad, 'cause a nigga ain’t pop
