Mtnmn - Don't Be Like Me Lyrics

Yeah
Let's talk about this shit
I've been holding it back
I've been standing on the tip
Like a balancing act
I've been learning what this is
I've been building a map
One day all of the kids
Will be learning to trap
But that's not what I want
That's not what the vision is
I'm a son of a bitch
Who was never quite fitting in
All of the cliques
My room I was sitting in
Was a trap in itself
With a clap and a bell
Hating my voice
I think you know you could tell
Using other beats
Yeah the quality fell
Now I'm mumbling cuz
I know it will sell
I don't know any better
I wish someone would tell
How to be keeping myself
In this world
Full of drugs
With an absence of love
The hole that I'm digging
Once again being dug
The bowl being lit
Being cranked like a lug
I'm constantly screaming
That I don't give a f*ck
But I know that should
I would stop if I could
And I know that you would
If you thought it was hood
But don't be like me kids
I'm really no good
I won't have the life
My momma thought that I should
Don't do it for someone else though
Do it for yourself
Don't put the opportunities
Up on a shelf
They won't last forever
It's time for me to tell
My life might be over
I might really go to hell
Damn I might really go to hell
Let me tell you why I do this shit
I never had any friends who were telling me to stop
Getting out of the parties
St st Stopping the op
I'm selling myself like I'm up open for shop
And any friends who didn't like I opened up on the crop
Function of the photo editor
Thinking that I'm better-er
But I wish that I didn't
Because I fell to the predator
That is the rap game
I'm checking my cellular
As if the rap fame
Comes in to the messenger
Telling me I made it
Telling me get faded
Telling me my worries
Will all soon be out dated
Perfect picture it painted
On the ice I'll be skating
As if someone like me
Could ever say that I made it
False hope in abundance
Everybody in the running
Don't ever stop the fun
Man victory is coming
Just get your shit buzzing
Just get the people humming
Everything that you want
At the push of a button
False hope in abundance
Everybody in the running
Don't ever stop the fun
Man victory is coming
Just get your shit buzzing
Just get the people humming
Everything that you want
At the push of a button
Now let's not get it twisted
I ain't telling you stop
Because maybe one day
You'll end up at the top
You'll be the one with the fame
They'll be respecting your name
End up changing the game
They'll be like "that flow is insane"
Opportunity comes
And opportunity goes
I'm thinking that it's better
If you go with the flow
I'm thinking that it's better
If it's down on the low
But I'm just a silly rapper
What the hell do I know
I'm just speaking from my past
And I know it didn't last
I've been thinking of the failure
I've been Putting it on blast
And from loser to potential
I'm giving you this task
Do 100 times better
And you better do it fast
Cuz fame doesn't wait
And fame isn't patient
I hear that
Fame is a monster
And your life it will be taken
But fame is a goal
And in the end it sounds amazing
So what I want you to do
Is make that song that your making
Make it make it make it
Better than you ever did
Focus on your highs man
Focus on your mids
Break it break it break it
Down to the letter man
Varsity spit
Take it take it take it
To the next level
Earn yourself a medal
You're going uphill man
You're gonna need to pedal
