VVES - Curtains Lyrics

We'll do some more shit
Yeah
Just let it run
Aight (Ahem)
What I say

I tried being humble, it ain't working out
Thought I was the shit before, but I'm certain now
It's the return of the mack bitch, once again
You've been asking about me, hello! Here I am
Got a couple niggas who ain't speaking to me
Nowadays they just talk thru other people to me
It's too much ego in this business, that's all I can tell ya
Say what you want about me, but you can't say I'm a failure
Ay man I'm not returning calls, so you'll just have to forgive me
Lately I've been working, fighting this feeling of feeling empty
Feeling like my ambition is turning some friends against me
Feeling like nobody gets me, but that just further convinced me
That I'm on a different path, on a different Ave
They trying to tally up my Ls, we got different math
I know they watching all my moves, I wish the best for em
Just when they think they catching up, I Wally West on em
I'm from a city known for orange and methamphetamine
I seen em tweaking in the streets they looking hella thin
But we eating over here I've got the dinner plan
The only thing broke now is my give a damn
Because I've paid more dues than an NYU student in August
I've got more moves than a big boob bitch running bra-less
I've got range, I take aim, and let it bang
My nuts big as a great dane, I let em hang

They had me for a minute now it's curtains (Aye)
I've been making waves and they just surfing (Aye)
Damn I found my swag yeah I been working (Aye)
Oh I think they mad I see em lurking (Aye)
Boy you've gotta let go of that old me (Old me)
The years got em acting like they knows me (Knows me)
I've been going up, I'm in the nosebleed (Nosebleed)
I've had enough talk, you gotta show me

Damn I love my city, gotta keep em motivated
Niggas tryna test me they don't know I graduated
If following your dreams is so cliche
Then keep your eyes on me bitch, be amazed
Thrift stores and hand me downs, we knew the drill
Sometimes we went to school just so we could get a meal
But now I'm out in Hollywood in something like a hill
Surrounded by some fakes as I look for something real
A lost soul with widest eyes
I'm working in an industry that tells the whitest lies
Unrecognized, so I give myself the highest fives
Sit back and watch me excel to the highest skies
I'm on the rise
You niggas history and I just cleared my browser
I'm a beast like Bowser
I'm a big deal, you don't even reach my trousers
I'm at least a thousand
Heads above the rest but my feet still grounded
They living in a wonderland, severely undermanned
I'm major league they pitching underhand
Do y'all not understand I don't plot, I over plan
I pop like soda can, so hot volcano damn
I'm not the one to stand
For niggas who talking reckless
See me, and then they breathless
I've got shooters that don't sleep
They so restless
But I'm on to better things, never settling
You just cellophane homie
I see right through you

They had me for a minute now it's curtains (Aye)
I've been making waves and they just surfing (Aye)
Damn I found my swag yeah I been working (Aye)
Oh I think they mad I see em lurking (Aye)
Boy you've gotta let go of that old me (Old me)
The years got em acting like they knows me (Knows me)
I've been going up, I'm in the nosebleed (Nosebleed)
I've had enough talk, you gotta show me
