REFS

Rich Early Fuck Stress

[harlembluesinc]

Okay, look, baby
You know we talk still and you think I’m crazy
I’m not though
You worried every time I looked at my phone
I thought so
Wish that I was perfect, but I’m not, though

The Specktators - Nothing Like You

[igottheczech]

Look at what came in the mail today! L-town reppin The Speck! God I take the worst selfies

They cannot relate, everyone want's everything. Me? I made a choice and put that shit up on my plate. 'Cuz what you bitchin' about if you don't give it everything you got? If I hear another complaint, I'm gonna flip out, you don't deserve it! I'm working while they partying, what, you think I prefer it? But you don't get rewarded for partyin', gotta earn it. I learned it by watching all these wannabe celebrities. Do it for attention, never do it - no one ever sees. It ain't glamorous, 99% of this shit is behind the scenes. All they know is what they see through cameras. You don't gotta like it, but you will respect the grind. I appreciate the loyalty, that shit is hard to find

Everybody who believe's in me has made me who I am. We're gonna make it cause we gotta, let me thank you in advance. <3

Get your weight up. I don't wait up. I can't count the nights I stayed up. Man, sometimes this life's a bitch. But I just hope that this bitch pays up. Used to want it, now I need it. That's the difference between failing and succeeding

Yeah

Look [Verse 1] Lately I went missin' with no permission It's part of it I been workin' harder than competition from start of it Now they lookin' at me I see 'em all through the rearview Kill yourself to get your spot Then they die to be near you They think that I made it cause I made it past them They were never the target My target is past Em They laugh But they laugh too And they talk to me back then Guess it's déjà vu I'll be back when I lap them Hate that I acknowledge haters Call it a curse I'm on a search for validation Guess I don't know how this works But I'm learnin' on the job You can never please 'em all I see why rappers get that money And then all they do is ball Let 'em know I can feel the transformation I don't want to change But part of me just wants to make it Pardon me while I vacation Part of me wants to be famous But what good is being known if I don't 'member what my name is? [Bridge] Everything is changin' I just pray it's for the better This used to be my diary Now it's an open letter Hope that I can take the heat I been used to the coldest weather I'll do what I gotta do The industry should know what's better [Hook] I say the real shit that you afraid to say Then I get shit for sayin' it I'd rather get a thanks People steady takin' shots But more and more they feel like blanks And all these rappers get upset My team is movin' up the ranks Get your weight up I don't wait up I can't count the night I stayed up Man, sometimes this life's a bitch But I just hope that this bitch pays up Used to want it, now I need it That's the difference between failing and succeeding [Verse 2] Far as underground goes My numbers do the talkin' Couple hundred on the table All I gotta do is walk in But I won't Really I could use the money But I don't Reputation all I have And that ain't ever worth a quote If all I'm worried 'bout is cash I be in the game for a second I'm in the game to break records Not in the game to take second Where the hell is my crew at? Behind me, boy, you knew that Soon as I get a little bit of buzz It's like these people try to do that Soon as we get a little bit of pub It's like that circle get a little tighter Soon as we get a little bit of loot Those people's eyes, they get a little wider 'Bout done beggin' for greenrooms I be like "Bruce, just give him that rider" Got yo chick all on my shit While you just stand there right beside her Like it's cool I'm just tryna' wrap my head around the fact that one day I'm nobody Then I'm a celeb What's the basis? I'm in different places Ride with me or let me be Only gettin' better I think I'm ready for anything

Forever Feel

I tried to tell you this was everything we’d hoped for. I wasn’t gonna beg you, so I had to close the door. You could've made it with me, we could've had it all. I let you take your time, I swear I waited for y’all. You never got it though, maybe you never will. Now it’s time for me to go and see how forever feel. You were busy living, I was on a mission. A couple times I tried to talk, you acted like you listened, then it came time to act, and you always came up missing. Not really surprised, though…I was never one to get the love from other suckers I know. All I did was fuck around, and become the hardest act to follow in my city. Kicking dudes up off the stage like it's Apollo in my city. Couple years of disrespect, got me hollow in my city. But that’s only for a few, you gotta think it’s probably you. Ah, damn, you probably thought I wouldn’t break through, huh man? Now everyday you look more and more like a fan! I never understood the hate, but I love it. Now even when I get the love I feel like it’s late, I’m so underrated. I’m trying to beat the system when nobody thinks you can, until you do it, then they listen! Then they come around when they ain’t got no pot to piss in! They see you winning off of shit you did for kicks in the beginning. They don’t see behind the scenes, they ignore you until they see you living dreams. Man, you saw me every day, guess you never saw anything, damn. It’s coming full circle for me. Now I’m going by, you can’t escape me. I’ve been fast-laning on ‘em with no belt for my safety. I’m so made for this shit, I swear I slaved for this shit. Mention me with legends or I won’t be okay with this shit. ‘Cause I lost it all for the chase, no guarantee that I’m gonna make it. But this is where they separate the real from the ones that fake it. So adios to my quote-on-quote competition, I’m moving up. Talking about your hopes and dreams, but you don’t do enough. Say you’d kill for my spot, word? Would you die for it? Yeah? That’s a flat lie. Me? I’d flat-line for it. Don’t be surprised if I don’t recognize you when you come to me, telling me you finally opened your eyes. By then I’ll be long gone, you could have made it with me. Yeah, but by then I’ll be long gone, you could have made it with me.

Now you’re just the words to a song….

Now it’s time for me to go and see how forever feel. <3
