[Verse 1]
Every day of my life, all I wanted was to rap like this
Gifted but with a bad attitude, half of you never could imagine it’s
So sad to be, a rad emcee like me but I mean so savage that
Anybody that you ever knew is looking for a reason to belittle you And don’t wanna collab like this
I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be a bother
I just need people to connect with
Maybe that dates back to my father
Either way they do not holler, wanna see me on the bottom
Cause I free the beast in me too frequently
They need the beat to breathe when they follow
I don’t wanna be like that, why you gotta make me go there?
Why you gotta go and poke that bear?
You don’t wanna end up on a limb with a limb that I’m gonna be simmering dinner with and hope I’m fair
All I wanted was a flow to share, now I kill 'em in the coldest lair
And you made an enemy outta me
I don’t wanna be anyone but me cause I owe that there
[Pre-Chorus]
Pay up, lately I feel like I write better than ever
Yay uh, everything about your life is stellar when you’re
Way up, I ain’t met a soul that ever made it with no
Haters, they don’t want me here, that’s why I made it so
[Chorus]
I was cold in my own way, everybody said no way
They were giving me no play, now I’m doing my own thing
I don’t think that they like me, I don’t think that they like me
I don’t think that they like me, fuck 'em if they don’t like me
[Chorus]
I was cold in my own way, everybody said no way
They were giving me no play, now I’m doing my own thing
I don’t think that they like me, I don’t think that they like me
I don’t think that they like me, fuck 'em if they don’t like me
[Verse 2]
I used to be so insecure, now I’m confident
Used to look up to dudes who knew accomplishment
Ooh, I knew soon they were too moved by politics
That’s why I’m solo and don’t owe no promises
I’m willing to bet on a slow grind, all I’m seeing is my own climb
And it’s gonna take a while for me b
But I know it’s only cause they’re so blind
Always knew that they were so rude
All because I’ve been my own kind
Dedicated to the rap game, everyone that gave me no reply
And I wanna hear back, how you like me now?
Coming left field but it might be foul
Changing nay says every day
Didn’t like me then but they hype me now
Who’d have known that, way back
Some said wack but they bite my style
But it’s no act, they can’t, be me - fact is I write too wild
[Pre-Chorus]
Pay up, lately I feel like I write better than ever
Yay uh, everything about your life is stellar when you’re
Way up, I ain’t met a soul that ever made it with no
Haters, they don’t want me here, that’s why I made it so
[Chorus]
I was cold in my own way, everybody said no way
They were giving me no play, now I’m doing my own thing
I don’t think that they like me, I don’t think that they like me
I don’t think that they like me, fuck 'em if they don’t like me
[Chorus]
I was cold in my own way, everybody said no way
They were giving me no play, now I’m doing my own thing
I don’t think that they like me, I don’t think that they like me
I don’t think that they like me, fuck 'em if they don’t like me
[Bridge]
Tell me what you’ve all been so afraid of
All I did is show you what I’m made of
I didn’t wanna do it but you made me
I’m giving you all a reason to hate me
[Chorus]
I was cold in my own way, everybody said no way
They were giving me no play, now I’m doing my own thing
I don’t think that they like me, I don’t think that they like me
I don’t think that they like me, fuck 'em if they don’t like me
[Chorus]
I was cold in my own way, everybody said no way
They were giving me no play, now I’m doing my own thing
I don’t think that they like me, I don’t think that they like me
I don’t think that they like me, fuck 'em if they don’t like me
