Air Miles clocked up
Bank accounts topped up
We made a name off of this
Flows on the track, put clothes on my back, shit
We made a name off of this
Made the people back home proud, sold a couple shows out
We ain't gonna change up a bit
Just being famous for nothin' ain't shit
Man we made a name off of this
Yeah, yeah, no sell out
No compromise at all, still the same as the way I came in, the mighty-morph
Passed up on every fed that they got excited for
Try and write it off but they think it's kinda off
Time's always gonna tell you could check the dialogue
I'm not known for antics, I'm know for writin' fire songs
Don't come with memes, I don't try to be no funny guy
Write me little sub Tweets hopin' that no one replies
That's some bitch shit, all I do is fuckin' rhyme
Wifes something fine, got her on the other line so don't waste my fuckin' time
Too many dudes with no guts and a rubber spine, scared to do their own thing
So they sit and wonder why Kanye can 'Touch The Sky'
And they can't, always focused on what ain't I
And fake tats, comin' with those save byes
Fuck a format, I didn't come to take part
Came to take over, William Wallace I'm a braveheart
Rep for them people out there who come from the same path
Had the same start, could be doin' some task
For minimum wage, hard labor pushin' freight carts
A new Subaru close as we get to a racecar
So dudes like my Mike Hosking can get their face glassed in
I walk straight past, and not see a damn thing, Ray Charles
They used to it 'cause all they do is look the other way
Out of touch with the people I see every other day
Not tryna help but always seem to have so much to say
About where the tax payers dollars should be paid
And how you should behave
How your parents coulda saved, poor people shouldn't make
How the governnment has done enough, how much should it take?
Swear they did it on their own with a smug lookin' face
Too dumb to recognize the luck and privilege put in place
I'm on a tangent but it's a chance I couldn't waste
Couldn't wait, never really could embrace stuff that was so watered down that I couldn't taste
What I would have gave to hear someone else tell it in a way I could relate
Over hard beats, that's the way the hood relates
Music that nobody could replace
To fuck what you got paid off of, got laid off of, got played off of
This right here is what we made a name off of
