Standing Ovation (Live at NPR Tiny Desk, 2024)
[Intro]
So what we going to do today
If you've been ride with me since day one
I'm just take y'all on the journey
So y'all can see how I got from there to here
To Tiny Desk
I used to stand on a tiny porch
But if you stick with your dreams
And you stay about your business
You can get anywhere, you know
Y'all ready?
Y'all ready?
[Verse 1]
Straight drop this and ziplock that
Right on my waistline is where I kept that strap
Look, I remember nights, I didn't remember nights
I damn near went crazy, had to get it right (yeah)
Now I'm ya favorite rapper's favorite rapper (wassup)
Favorite trapper's favorite trapper
The absolute truth, yeah I'm no joke
Who me, I emerged from the crack smoke
In the hearts of those who grind with O's
They feel my pain, they at my shows
That's why I got this glass pot and this triple beam
I tell 'em money talks like Charlie Sheen
[Chorus]
These are more than words, this is more than rap
This is the streets and I am the trap
Standing ovation
These are more than words, this is more than rap
This is the streets and I am the trap (wassup)
Standing ovation
[Verse 2]
Look, once upon a time, I used to grind all night
With that residue, that was iPod white (yeah)
I'm a boss, I got Juice like the magazine
And everyday I see Feds like a magazine
Psychopathic wordplay, schizophrenic flow
I guess it's safe to say I got schizophrenic dough
Look, fuck bad bitches, smoke big blunts
Who am I to tell ya different? Ya only live once
All I blow is kush, yeah, that Cali bud
Got cali love when I got that Cali Plug
My Spanish chick in L.A., yeah I owe her one
Now them squares seventeen like Uncle Grady's son
[Chorus]
These are more than words, this is more than rap
This is the streets and I am the trap (okay, look)
Standing ovation (yeah)
Standing ovation
These are more than words, this is more than rap
This is the streets and I am the trap (okay, hehehe)
Standing ovation
