Thinking Out Loud

[Verse]
Let me go ahead and get straight into it
I'm not with the wave riding in the community shit
It feel like everyone opinion is the same
No one driving in their own lane
Opinions change, rearrange, and so do mine
But yours changed because of him? Perfect timing
My beef's with those who go along with popular consensus
And if this don't apply to you, don't be offended
I respect you, if you really feel that way
But I can't fuck with you if you just riding the wave
I get that Em ain't as good as he used to be
But do we really have to discredit his big three?
And every time I mention Dr. Dre's my favorite
I'm constantly reminded that he's overrated, I'm irritated
I just want y'all to think on your own
Be a leader, not a follower, it's time to act grown
What's crazy is that the industry is doing this too
Everyone hating on Kanye because it's cool
Seeing my idols be unoriginal hurts
They did the same thing when Mase left to go to church
It's cool that you disagree with Kanye's opinion
But because it isn't yours, you're painting him as the villain?
The middle children, speaking on false prophets
But said God is why you're even making a profit
It's time to stop it
Throwing dirt on someone's name just to stay in the game
Born to rap, but you live to be lame
Holding onto relevance by speaking on what's popping
But we don't care what you have to say unless your album's dropping
Oh, I get it, you're creating some hype
But how you're going about it is what's causing my gripe
Tearing someone else down so you can build yourself back up
Damn, fam, fame is a helluva drug
You know the rules, adultery is a sin
You're pressing the wrong buttons, chill before you meet your fin
This is what I'm talking about
Stop mentioning who's hot just to try and gain some clout
Hold up, let me apologize
I'm sorry to everyone for speaking my mind
I'm like a little kid at the wishing well, throwing in my two cents
I hope you were listening, I hope I made sense
