Apollo Piero - Andrew to Apollo Lyrics

I'ma tell ya'll a story, get introspective with ya'll
See there's an interesting transformation that takes place
From an everyday person to a rapper

Andrew to Apollo and I got a following
Some people wallow him, other people walloping
Down on my dreams, it seems they're getting hollow and
I'm trying to maintain my composure like Solomon
I got boggled-in, all of these emotions
Trying to make these leaps but these people think I'm coasting
I'm not roasting, my potions mixed
Show you my change with insight if you want to get rich
Since, I'm making moves all these dude wanna do is hate
But I can't say f**k you with an empty plate
See that's what captivating at this time
Label's treat you like nobody, haters treat you like you're signed
And I'm just trying to rhyme, I'm just trying to do mine
Trying to find a true following, it's hard to find
Cause see everybody want a little piece of your dough
But they don't want to help you get there, you know?

Andrew to Apollo and uh, I got a following
Andrew to Apollo and uh, I got a following
Andrew to Apollo and uh, I got a following
I got, I got, I got, I got, I got, I got a following
Andrew to Apollo and uh, I got a following
Andrew to Apollo and uh, I got a following
Andrew to Apollo and uh, I got a following
I got, I got, I got, I got, I got, I got a following

I had my first show in Vegas and I felt like a star
Cruising in some chicks car down the boulevard
Lap dances in advance, then they pulling down their pants
To Sony Entertainment saying I ain't got no chance
Doing shows out the a**, people asking for my autograph
Walking up to me saying, "Aren't you Apollo that
Rocked it last night? Man I love how you write"
To being kicked off a stage because I'm white
The afroman opening, Kaze was boasting him
Two of them girls and yeah, I'm getting both of them
Top shelf promoting him, assembling the gang
To nobody coming to the show because it rained
Prop sending beats to Chris Breeze and Beans
Hoping that could bring some sort of promise to the dreams
Fires to the booth, respect's through the roof
To that b**ch who refused to let me open for the Roots

Andrew to Apollo and uh, I got a following
Andrew to Apollo and uh, I got a following
Andrew to Apollo and uh, I got a following
I got, I got, I got, I got, I got, I got a following
Andrew to Apollo and uh, I got a following
Andrew to Apollo and uh, I got a following
Andrew to Apollo and uh, I got a following
I got, I got, I got, I got, I got, I got a following

I got to break it down, this back and forth saga
Trying to reach my nirvana, flows hotter than a sauna
But they feel like karma has gone in my way
So they try to even it up and take it away
Seeing that I'm succeeding and assuming that I'm there
And that with one less supporter that I ain't gon care
But what if everybody thought that way? I got none
But I don't got a deal and I don't got funds
And it's funny how you can be everything and yet nothing
Have all these people but yet they all bluffing
So I'm up in my zone trying to make Apollo known
Take a flight to the moon yet remain at my home
So I'm running off of intuition and determination
Trying to hurry to the top but still remain patient
So I hustle harder and just stay on my grind
I'm gonna take it to the top one record at a time

Andrew to Apollo and uh, I got a following
Andrew to Apollo and uh, I got a following
Andrew to Apollo and uh, I got a following
I got, I got, I got, I got, I got, I got a following
Andrew to Apollo and uh, I got a following
Andrew to Apollo and uh, I got a following
Andrew to Apollo and uh, I got a following
I got, I got, I got, I got, I got, I got a following
