Pen to the pad, make the flows on fleek
Took the words that I heard and I put em’ to the beat
Press up my tape and I put it in the street
Upload my thousands with my link
I’ma be upcoming just to see what they think
I’ma shoot me a video and put it on the tour
I’ma spam IG to get up my views
If you have a favorite artist, I’m gonna be huge
Put me a show that the blogs gonna cover and they all gon love it
The crowd gon turn up
Is anybody out there?
Turn up, the mic is getting heated out here
[Nikki Jean and Lupe Fiasco:]
Hip-Hop, won’t you save me?
Rescue all your babies
Hip-Hop, won’t you save me?
I am just a baby
[Lupe Fiasco:]
Said I’m gonna be a rapper when I grow up
Not gonna go crazy when I blow up
Bet they gonna go crazy when I show up
Won’t listen to the haters ’cause I know what
Said I’m gonna be the rapper when I grow up
Said you gonna be slow if I pour up
But i’m gonna be poor if I slow up
So I gotta keep it going, ain’t no slow motion in here
Tryna get the tour bus with the studio
It ain’t no bus, just bootyholes
Can’t be out here looking like dookie when you’re trying to start a movement that could mop on a movie role
Everything’s polished, I didn’t go to college
I was at the conference chopping with the djs
Trying to give my single on replay
And shit up on the game like colonics
Po’ phone, take a flick with a fame for me
Outstretch with a brick of the dance money
I’m tired, let’s switch with the van for me
When I make it by, you’ll print for the advance money

Hold up
Light man, turn the lights on
Came a long way from when I was holding the mic wrong
Something for the hood and a whole lot of white songs
Like I evolved to a whole ‘nother life form
I’m just tryna make it happen
Don’t attack that please
Can’t find a job, you can rap at least
‘Cause that’s what I did, I was at that leg
Right out of high school, tryna stack that cheese
You was tryna do what? tryna stack that cheese
You wanna flip burgers, wanna stack that cheese
Make American singles, wanna stack that cheese
Make everybody smile, tryna stack that cheese
Tryna do it for a while, tryna stack that cheese
Talking frequent flyer miles, how I stack that cheese
Tryna bundle up the money, tryna stack that cheese
Aye Stack, can we stack that please?
