Talent's A Myth - Ruslan, Tray Little

Hand-me-down, hand-me-down, hand-me-down but it’s ours

Hand-me-down, hand-me-down, hand-me-down but it’s ours

I told 'em take the autotune out, put the soul back in

On the pub, don’t get cut out of yo' back end

Drop your outbacks

They don’t cater to the people, they wanna know where the facts went

And who you dealin' with, keep yo' actions deliberate

Eyes wide open, watch out for all the ill intent

Industry is shady, know that malice is thick

You been told a lie, don’t you know that talent’s a myth?

Got you discouraged 'cause you think it’s all organic in this

It’s like your favorite rapper came up ovr like the cameras thy miss

All of the shenanigans, the fake indies, the payolas

Major labels own a stake in Spotify, this day’s over

The analytics, the algorithms, we could all touch 'em

I don’t need a corporation to go press the button

I’ma educate my people if the world doesn’t

There’s a budget, so don’t matter if the world loves it

Hand-me-down, hand-me-down, hand-me-down but it’s ours

Rather hand me down hope then hand me down any scars

Hand-me-down, hand-me-down, hand-me-down but it’s ours

Rather hand me down truth then even hand me down bars

I-, I-, I told-, I-, I told 'em-

I-, I told 'em-, I told 'em take the autotune out

I told 'em, I-, I-, I told em-

I told 'em take the au-, auto-, autotune out

Baggy 501 leaves vibes, kinda saggy walkin' by

Gladly handled some 'til I grabbed the ladder then I climb

Hand-me-down 'til I was old enough to get the bag

Can’t tell me now that it wasn’t helpful lookin' back

Now I hustle like Nipsey, leavin' my doubters blue

I work my muscle to a million followers, so now it’s time for two

My work ethic crazy 'cause I slept on them cold floors

The first came, baby, few snaps, help me, hold on

Hand-me-down, hand-me-down, hand-me-down but it’s ours

Rather hand me down hope then hand me down any scars

Hand-me-down, hand-me-down, hand-me-down but it’s ours

Rather hand me down truth then even hand me down bars

Au-, au-, au-, au-, au-, au-

Au-, au-, autotune out

I-, I-, I told 'em take the au-, au-, au-

Au-, au-, au-, autotune out
