A Capella

I'm out to be the best me that I can be
Workin on my craft day in and out
You know that's what I'm about
No I'm not aiming to become famous
I just want to play and sing this

The only competition I see is myself
I gotta tunnel vision kinda like a telescope
And I'm lookin at
And I'm picking at
Everything that I could do to become better

I see a lot of people
I hear a lot of things
They're talking about diamond rings, money, things
I guess that happens when you hit the top
Become unsatisfied with everything that you already got

You say it's all about the music
But mess around with girls who do it
Yah you lie to your fans
I'm singing from my shadow you can call that shade

My verse is straight and my flow is hard
I paint my songs like a work of art
I never grew up listening to other stuff
You can say I'm kinda different
Maybe just a bluff

But lemme tell you I am 100 percent reality authentic I ain't dancing in a fantasy
Only sea that I'll be dancing in
Is a sea of fans
In a sold out MSG

Maybe a year or two
Maybe a year or three
It doesn't phase me honestly
Even if I don't make it by then
I'll still be doing shows so I make it in the end yah

And if you think I'm irrelevant
Well then I must be relevant
Cuz you took the time to listen to my song that I wrote on my bed
In my bedroom

I don't sing for a backtrack
I write songs in my SnapBack
I don't care what they say
I'm keepin it real
Kinda like an a capella

I don't hook up with strangers
Ive got class and respect
I don't care what they say
I'm keepin it real
Kinda like an a capella

A capella a-a capella a capella a-a capella a capella a-a capella
Keepin it real kinda like an a capella

Sometimes I need to focus on myself and what I need
Sometimes I feel like my mind is on it's own kind of speed
But I guess its the way that it goes when you try to write like a beast
This is my feast

Don't ever classify me as a rapper
I spit a little bit and I can talk fast but that's it
I ain't about the gold chains
Ain't about the fake girls
Ain't about the high life
Ain't about the money

See my lyrics are different
They come alive the minute I start sing them
I would say that I put my soul all up in them
But I am a ginger you know how that goes

My world comes together the moment my pen hits the paper like im a jail breaker
But I have commited no crime to be charged for
You see me in bars but don't know what I stand for

I don't sing for a backtrack
I write songs in my SnapBack
I don't care what they say
I'm keepin it real
Kinda like an a Capella

I don't hook up with strangers
Ive got class and respect
I don't care what they say
I'm keepin it real
Kinda like an a Capella

A capella a-a capella A capella a-a capella A capella a-a capella
Keepin it real kinda like an a Capella wait

My fingers bleed when I pluck strings
I was never raised to play this guitar with a pick thing
At times people say I sound British when I say things when I say things say things

Now they coming to me askin if I wanna be the next big thing
I'm the next best thing buddy
You better get your facts straight
I don't need a record label to show them my talent great cuz

If the people like it then the people buy it
Why would I wanna hire another writer just to take it higher
Foolish, like the gold that you place in my hands, that's fools gold

And I'm not fooled by this fame game this twitter game it's so lame
Cuz I'm verified on the inside
I don't need a blue check to be satisfied ahh

Break strings when I play this
Take names when I play this
Take notes when I play this

You already know

I don't sing for a backtrack
I write songs in my SnapBack
And I don't care what they say
I'm keepin real
Kinda like an a Capella

I don't hook up with strangers
I've got class and respect
And I don't care what they say
And I don't care what they say
Cuz I'm keepin it real
Keepin it real kinda like an a capella
