1st verse

If a male rapper wears a dress to achieve fame
I guess I need to wear a fade
To see my name in lights before it fades
Anything goes with the young & restless
Or the grown & sexy driving that Tesla
Fans say trendsetters know better
They decided Fantano's fate after dissing drake
When that needle dropped
Even kids sucking lollipops took aim and shot
Waste not want not, it's hard work for that #1 spot
It's a climb from the basement
Ask Marlon Kraft, its more than patience
You don't see the hard work, sweat & effort
You just see the reward, with a dash of salt & pepper
Fake wanna bees buy fans to pretend
They're trickery is a lens
To whom we become
We buy anything if it's from
A size 4 blonde popping gum
The all-American spokes model
Who only boondoggles
While holding the spoon steady
As she feeds us confetti, we're so petty
Confess your sins & admit to buying the buffoonery
Before chocking on greed & lust & wearing it as jewelry
(Cause) we're all craving the crazies who get fame by misbehaving
Anything to be seated
(In VIP) with the pretty & conceded
You say it's silly
But deep down, you wanna be in that in crowd
Seen as a special pronoun, cause we always need more
But Michael Kors can't feed your core
That blouse was made across the seashore
The truth is always an eyesore
Reality is a bridge to knowledge
That's just how I feel

VERSE 2
Never say the odds are against you
(Simply) because the spotlight (only) shines on a select few
Just know you gone need more than pro tools
And fruity loops
To release what you spit in the booth
Cause they want a million views
And sold-out concerts
Before they sign you to their major label monster
And convincing you that controversy is pay dirt
What lies beneath is century old slave dirt
Pull the roots and you'll smell Nina Simone's strange fruit
No stranger than the danger in a cancel culture
I gotta watch what I say in case I insult ya
But the worse language gets their attention
Their needs and wants are a contradiction
Fans say go natural, but they want hair extensions
If Lauren hill returned, she'd be sporting a perm
If you were an 80s rapper on fire, today you would burn
The goal is to act unconcerned
Can't speak about love
World affairs or the man up above
The rule is to never rise above
Swing low
The more trifling the harder the verse & flow
Danny Brown already know
After he cleaned up & packed up the show
Spotify & iTunes tagged his big toe
For failure to feed the vortex after the triple X
Label execs wanted the fade to remain an afro
The gap was wide, now its narrow
(He maintained his DNA & bone marrow)
Hip hop is a (blind) arrow
That landed on me back in 03
But the era wasn't like it was in 93
Everything grows in space & time
That's just how I feel
