Play Your Role

(Saxophone playing)

(Verse 1)
Peep the way you move cuz I know that they steady watching
Born up in the city where there ain't to many options
You is not a rapper boy you a actor I promise
Before you win a Grammy you probably gon win an Oscar
This did not happen by accident
This shit is all on purpose
Been counting blessings and planting seeds with every verse
I know you hurting
I know you lacking
I know you lurking!
All these careers is fallen down
It's like Donnie McClurkin
So underground we had to figure out how we would surface
Cuz we got all this fuckin music the world need to hear
And I was lost I didn't figure out what is my purpose
So many hits it's starting to look like it was never was fair
I'm out in LA I'm talking keys with Khalid
I order fettuccine pasta with the Cesar salad
I think the whole game need this talent
And I'm already a king
I don't need that chalice!

(Chorus)
Man, Everybody can't be great
That ain’t how this shit goes
That ain’t how this shit goes

Everybody can’t be great
That ain’t how this shit goes
That ain’t how this shit goes

Gotta learn to play your role
Gotta learn to play your role

Everybody can’t be great, Naw
Everybody can’t be great, Naw

Gotta learn to play your role
Gotta learn to play your role

(Verse 2)
Momma she hate that I dropped out of school
That's why I feel I got so much to prove
I'm from the land of the trill and I'm not all there in my head
I don lost a few screws
Shout out to Screw!
Shout to Pimp C and Big Moe and Big Hawk
I do this for you!
This for the team
This for the realist alive and I know that's it only a few

Said I'm finish doing favors I did me enough
I only split the profit with my brothers we divvied it up
You keep on talking down but it's really just picking me up
I only fucked her once she sent a text like she really in love
You ain't the only one!

You looking at a prophet
How I came with all this knowledge
Just to "Bless You"
Learn your lesson
Everybody can't be legends
So don't stress it
It's only a few!

(Chorus)
Everybody can't be great
That ain’t how this shit goes
That ain’t how this shit goes

Everybody can’t be great
That ain’t how this shit goes
That ain’t how this shit goes

Gotta learn to play your role
Gotta learn to play your role

Everybody can’t be great, Naw
Everybody can’t be great, Naw

Gotta learn to play your role
Gotta learn to play your role

(Saxophone breakdown)

You looking at a prophet
How I came with all this knowledge
Just to "Bless You"
Learn your lesson
Everybody can't be legends
So don't stress it
It's only a few!
