Verse So Rap today is teaching multiple things One is idolize all the gliss on the rings One is minimize all the possible dreams One is hypnotize make em want like a fiend  Got the flavor sauté it ain’t no option so they bit it  We type that is poorest but we make rich richest  So I got respect for people who is on the own business Cause you never own nothing when you sign a doted sentence  Pertaining to a contract clause that law facts  Be my own man Big Daddy Sonny Koufax You can never call that You can never match that Oh you made mil homie get up on that NASDAQ Dudes they ain’t never what they seem that’s a backslap  Girls setting traps for some cheese with they booty traps Thinking u you the first but you the third call that getting scraps  Set up for her bait intel like a wiretap  Tell how that beat feel Tell how that heat feel  All y’all niggas keep still Hands high like they pointing at you real steel Conceal they wanna get me for a raw deal For real no movie reel this is my appeal Fulfill everything they wanna come steal And crack everything a buster try to keep seal I'm looking at these niggas like oh my God  Rap is moving niggas like its Amistad I should not condemn that only should be God  But know the mainstream is some mainstream fraud
