lyrics

Okay it’s simple, from here and henceforth
I’ll be sittin’ at the top you can tell ‘em I’m headed north
West coast representin’, or maybe an embarrassment
for now I’ll keep pretendin’ I’m dope like the seventh dwarf
I’m a bad kid, or maybe I’m good at actin’
My ego’s gettin’ bigger, humility’s outta fashion
Don’t belong in the game, right? So why am I winnin’ it
Nah, I’m knockin’ over pieces, flip the board and I finish it
Like for real, it’s done
Props to every other rapper, you had a good run
Now it’s back to my desk job, and payin’ my rent
I got 99 problems, bein’ rich ain’t one
I’m findin’ blanks and fillin’ em in
I’m resuscitating beats so I can kill ‘em again
Find my fame in Seattle, like Ryan Lewis and Ben
Right now my name is in pencil, but soon in permanent pen
I’m so filthy, got that Pigpen swagger
I’ll be dancin’ like Snoopy’s got the moves like Jagger
And all I hear is ("Peanuts" trumpet) when you talk,
I’ve been gatherin’ fans, you’re like (I got a rock)
Wait, when did this turn into a diss track?
I never intended to indicate anything other than havin’ an impact
and makin’ a name for myself can be done with my talent, integrity intact
I’m hopin’ that I can impress you with nothin’ but fancy flow and syntax
Simplistic, never been that, or at least I’m gettin’ better at
pretending I can actually put a song together properly
Doin’ this from now until the day I’m on my porch with a twelve gauge tellin’ kids to stay off of my property
For now go on and bother me, post your angry comments
Tell me that I terrible, at least you’re being honest
Alright, enough from me, got nothin’ better to do
But for now I’ll turn the microphone over to you
