Me, You - XV

Tell everybody that you know, you know

That I’m about to put my city on, city on

And I’m about to do it for me

Tell everybody that you know, you know

That I’m about to put my city on, city on

And I’m about to do it for me

You, me, you, me, you

From the city of great plains

And we make planes

So me planning to take off, fam, I can’t change

People see when I’m in the spot like a damn stain

You know that I’m the answer, I suggest you keep your hand raised

Everything is digital and honestly I can’t complain

Cause my spirits in lyrics and downloads you can’t break

Soon as they try to down me, I re upload

The only thing I fear is somebody trying to leak my soul

I do this for me and you

And the art form that we uphold

All before the Butter like my first name was Leopold

Find a girl who’s down, give her the crown soon as we be alone

And baby girls so fine if I was blind I’d still see her home

The man who raised me heard they play me on the radio

And we ain’t talked in years

And he called me a day ago

And still I got some ways to go

But soon as I make it home

Better save yourself cause you play yourself trying to play my position

See a lot of people came and went cause they came up in these conditions

When they came up on some cash became casualties of the system

Now that things on deck, now my homeboy be dialing me from the prison

It hurt me to go and see him, sometimes we be disagreeing

About how I’m living, but I just make it clear that I got my reasons

But all this slanging and beefing gonna get me stranded where he at

Or be a perfect candidate for a permanent place to sleep at

I be at places where niggas conceal they faces

Keep steal attached to they waists and blow kill to get through the day

Could get killed out here moving yay but I still maintain a crackers smile

But don’t forget I’m a child straight from Gary, never backing down

They acting wild and running through my hood like they invincible

Youngins breaking codes against the streets and lost they principle

I stay upon my toes and let my haters stay miserable

I’m pretty close to perfect with the shit my pen and pencil do

I let them niggas know

Look

I’m on top like the numerator

And if you don’t like it, then boy youse a hater

See, I stay uptown, I’m the new mayor

Giving you the best I got, no Anita Baker

See, life’s about as fair as a street fight

I work hard everyday just to see Christ

At the end of what I’m doing then I’m proving

To be the greatest with no ring, Patrick Ewing

Uh, but my momma know

And now my ex is mad

Cause she believe 100% that rap was just a fad

Uh, but now every MC want to be me

When they see me on vac in countries that you see on TV

Uh, yeah, but they love me now

I’m all around the world

Take care of my little sis, like she my baby girl

I got the city on my back without a tattoo

I don’t do it cause I want to, I do it cause I have to
