[Intro]
Ndiyekeni mna
Ummmmm...
[Verse 1: ByLwansta]
I should be in a classroom
But I'm here because I lied to my teacher
That motherfucker still thinks I went to the bathroom
I'm here now
To give rappers reason to fear, POW
I better be fucking careful 'cause I don't want him to hear how, I'm here now
But I'm only here until he notices
I'm loving my degree but this music is where my focus is
Ask me when I wrote this shit
I was in a test
But it was multiple choice so
Half of that shit was guessed
It's such a motherfucking mess
When you're just so bloody passionate
And things are working out but your father just isn't having it
And so you give your life to this degree for 3 years
Get on that road to success!
But it feels like a fucking accident
Now I'm in a taxi regretting taking the front seat
This stupid lady beside me refuses to count this money (Fuuuck)
I should prolly do them like our government
They give me their money and ask for change but get nothing just for the fuck of it
That's as far as I'll ever get, to being political
I also learned that I don't even fucking need to finish school, and that's not from the president
That's from all the times I was starving, then got a booking
It started becoming evident
But how do I prioritise?
How the hell did I get so good at telling my father lies
I should've been out by now
But I'm sort of just like The Carter 5
Just without anticipation
Or Tha Carter 4, 'cause I have to attend my graduation
[Chorus: ByLwansta]
Sometimes it feels like, I'm wasting my time
Spending all these moments, standing behind the mic
Gone are all the days doing whatever I like, 'cause
Everybody's right
This isn't my fucking life
(You should try and rap like this guy)
You're Absolutely Right!
(Man that song will never work brah)
You're absolutely right!
(This is why they'll never play you)
You're Absolutely Right!
(Make music for the people brah)
(Make music for the people brah)
[Verse 2: ByLwansta]
I won't lie, sometimes it does feel like a waste of my time
Like when I get to a show
And I'm performing at nine
Although it started at eight
And not to mention I was almost bounced by the guy at the gate
Oh, this is great!
Not forgetting all these people in my ear busy telling me what to rap about:
"C'mon Lwansta don't even think about it as selling out, change your bloody sound, look at every artist who's popping now"
That's my fucking problem you people aren't understanding how
I'm tryna do my shit
And all that other pressure
It's nonsense, I'm trying to mize it
Click it then minimize it
That copy and that paste shit?
That isn't where my mind is
"We know that you can rap you don't always have to remind us"
Oh, you're absolutely right you
Stupid little prick you
All you care about is the chorus and what that beat do
Every time I see you, I just wanna motherfucking beat you, 'because you make me so fucking angry
I know, I know, I know, I know these people mean well
I shouldn't be so harsh, 'cause they're hoping they're helping me sell
But tryna give me that kind of advice is kind of stupid
Unless you're Jigga, I'm not interested in your blueprint
[Chorus: ByLwansta]
Sometimes it feels like, I'm wasting my time
Spending all these moments, standing behind the mic
Gone are all the days doing whatever I like, 'cause
Everybody's right
This isn't my fucking life
(You should try and rap like this guy)
You're Absolutely Right!
(Man that song will never work brah)
You're absolutely right!
(This is why they'll never play you)
You're Absolutely Right!
(Make music for the people brah)
