lyrics

For two years we've been steadying making tunes
But for the first two years we didn't know what we were doing
Got our first couple plays and were over reacting
Thought I'd be famous off recordings from my bedroom like Kardashians
But that didn't happen so I went back to rapping
Always talking about myself though I swore that I was snapping
Always saying "I, I" like I'm talking to the captain

I'm coming full force on this next one though
I'll be the last remaining talent behind a microphone
With a flow so tight never coming out the pocket
I got golden fucking bars like I locked up King Midas
When I speak to you I stress, what you got inside your chest
Doesn't paint the whole picture, a four chamber silhouette
See we both do this in vain
We just spell it different ways

Cause you do this for the fame and I do this for the game
I wanna put on a good show, you're just looking to get paid
So your drums are all triggered, man go figure
Producer did all of the work he should just be in the band with ya
You're all just like Instagram girls in my eyes
Those angles look good and you got some people mesmerized
But we both know that's not the same thing you get live

So this right here will be my last will and testament
So when I die take everything I have and bury me with it
If it ends up in your hands you'll be shocked at what you see
You'll be so confused asking what does genuine mean
It isn't your fault, you've been fed so much nonsense
That being generic is the only thing that makes sense
So the problem isn't with you, it's the one on the throne
So like a spoiled child, the problem starts at home
You won't be happy 'til this scene is obscene
John almost missed his plane cause you think you're the king of Dock Street
But we all turned down the crown, I wouldn't even be proud
We never even went that hard and we have your attention now
So we hit the ground running, gonna take it all over
And only call the kids we want like we're playing red rover
And Snape's answer to "after all this time?"
Is an idea for how long this reign will really be mine
