[Verse 1]

Man people kill me
Taking shots at my major
I got a bunch of haters
But it’s been that way from the start
Criticizing my art
Taking stabs at my heart
And stepping all on my toes
But of course
You didn’t know
But it’s frustrating when people saying that it’s easy
Believe me
I chose my path for a reason
Thinking that everyone has a purpose
Much deeper than the surface
Much greater than the Earth is

I respect your craft
Never ever ever shoot down your tasks
As time has passed
Lesson after lesson
Continuous progression
Improving on professions
I ain’t even gone question
There are probably some things that you could show me
And probably some things that I could show you
But I still don’t know what you go through
Vice versa
People are stupid but they’ll still hurt ya
Respect my craft
That’s all I ask
How dare you step to me
Diminishing my craft
You say it’s easy
But I laugh
Believe me, you couldn’t walk a mile in my shoes
Outside looking in but I ain’t see through
I’m me and you’re you
Different things that we go through
I shouldn’t even have to show you
We got teachers, doctors, and engineers
The word easy I don’t wanna hear
Until you see what they do
You can’t walk a mile in my shoes
Let’s get it man!

Ladies and gentlemen!

[Verse 2]

I’m not cocky but I’m feeling like Rocky
Who gone stop me?
Two punches I’m laying em’ down
Lights out like Pacquiao
Screaming who want it now?
The crowd goes wow, applause
Then I bow
Exiting the arena they ain’t ready for my style
I’m pretty wild
I know my flow is not the sickest or the illest
But I do drop knowledge in my lyrics
If you’ve lived you can get it
If you feel it you can share it
Shoe fits wear it
Zane Smith young dude, old spirit
I mean old soul
Got my teeth covered up in butter and gold
Blame my mold
Given to me
This ain’t the life I chose
Positive and negative
Cons and the pros
I can only be me
I just wanna be free
Trippin’ in Tahiti
Oh, you don don’t like me?
You can suck my wiwi
Living off in France
Let me do my dance
Laugh. Sing
Imma do my thing
I’m constantly thinking
I’m constantly changing
One minute it’s photography
The next I’m into painting
Change up the occupation
But that’s just me
I’m often complaining
You can never get complacent
Life is what you make it
Opportunity, imma take it
And the rules imma break em’
And the records imam beat em’
Cause there’s nothing stopping this here GENIUS
Zane Smith

[Hook 4x]

You don’t know what I’ve been through
Ain’t nothing I gotta prove
I do me and you do you
You can’t walk up in my shoes
Respect my craft
Respect my craft
Respect my craft
That’s all I ask
That’s all I ask
