They say they love me uno, they say they love me dos
They say they hate you 'til you done comatose
And yeah you be the host, they be the parasite
Murderous villains up in the airless night
Andres
They say I'm workin' hard, or I'm hardly workin'
I'll let them eight hour shifts do the wordplay
I'm hurdlin', over people who last week were seven feet deep?
Under the surface they was smirkin' plottin' right against me
I leave 'em right on they knees, workin' the corner
Or crossin' the border, earning' quarters just to keep it in order
Yo I rebuttle the people who've said I've changed
Callin' me cocky just because I worked and earned me a name
I feel some envy stirrin' right in they brains
They can't take it cause sometimes the hierarchy's a game, reserved for the fame
Where you have to be the best to rest at the peak
Still workin' on my dues tryna pay back my family
But sadly minimum wage was not the wave I wanted
Changin' the tides? I get tsunamis as an outcome
But when I reach the top I will be feelin' like I'm Rev Run
Squirt that Mr. Bubbles hoppin' in the bathtub
And when I get it imma pay my daddy back
And I will laugh at the others who doubted me
I promise everything will be good so relax
Everything I'm not has made me who I'm proud to be
