been thinking bout being like him
been thinking bout being like them
been thinking bout being like you
but yall dont have a clue
so id rather be myself
forget trying to be you or anybody else
do it for love and not the fucking wealth
i mean what i say, so i say it with my chest
:31
the truth is overly dramatic,
dammit,
i dont know if i can stand it, and it
never is around when you looking for the sound
that could possibly save the planet, can it?
what you call the best, shit is average
saying that you want a new classic
[idolize those that are made outta plastic]
only want the green like cabbage
motherfucker raise your standards
i aint even hating on the dances
i'll watch you whip, watch you nae nae
but bout these words, there aint no play play
knock you out... smash bros melee
not in real life, only in a game mane
aint bout the violence,
but if you try to silence
i'll have to try shit
stab you with a trident
like i am from atlantis
but im from atlanta
kickin these rhymes, kung fu panda
supply to your demand, i
hope you understand, my
voice dont need a camera
all I need is one mic
couple lines spat right
shining like a flashlight
but a nigga black as hell
that boy burnt, what's that smell?
if you do something, do it well
If you try then you cannot fail
1:13
I'm something like a phenomenon
Fuck that shit that y'all been on
They say it's darkest before the dawn
Is this what y'all been waiting on?
A genius from Carolina
Disguised as a dope rhymer
no deal, no cosigner
Bang it loud marijuana
disturb the peace like shawnna
Spitting hotter than a sauna
best rapper, like a carter
Atheist, corrupt your daughter
Got the magic stick, Harry potter
She'll jacket like a starter
Flowing like some water
On the web, Peter Parker
1:43
i turned loose leafs into loose lips
Y'all boys soft like tulips
Only real shit leave these two lips
not that bullshit that you spit

Got a beating system like the fucking police

but who am i to deny the nature of a beast?
Nyk Grey, rookie, but i move like a veteran
can't nobody tell me who i cant be better than
cant rock with me, then better check your sediment

Every time I hop on the record, I wreck it

Take a minute off, I'll fall back into second
Birdman voice crack, you better respek it
I'm chosen, you frozen
I'm lava on you hoes and
Wearing a pair size 10s
You can't fit your toes in
10.5 to be exact
I'm bodying this track
and I'm In love with the fact
My words go all across the map
That boy Nyk is a savage
you know i just gotta have it
yall jon snow, and I'm killing all you bastards
niggas is timmy turner with the burner
magic with the ratchet
dont need them to make you whack rappers vanish
throw a beat at me, and i promise i'll catch it
newest in the game mane, i call that an advantage
can't get worse than these very first verses
each and every bar, i get closer to perfect

Floating down buford highway in my civic ho
Shit from nine seven, but i whip it like a rental tho

then got the nerve to wonder why we actin reckless fo
think you a visionary, more like a spectacle
your politics ancient shit, this nigga is cicero
that's why his damn toupee looking like a dinner roll

on pursuit of happiness, liberty and life

Make America great again!
Make America great again!
America was great when?

assbeat, might get your assbeat

:14 verse
wanna be alone, but i still feel lonely
its like the feeling might be mutual, like nobody want me
and i know it aint true, still got my day 1 homies
but if i fall, they got me, or they gon flake like tony?
man i guess we'll never know
if i fall, i'll never show
put up walls like mexico
cold shoulder, eskimo
solitary confined to my mind
sometimes man i wish that we could just rewind
back to the time when i could trust my bloodline
if they ain't stealing my identity, they telling lies
they say blood is thicker than water
but think about what's really harder to swallow
that's why i never really was one to follow
if you tried to me leave breadcrumbs, I'll still just wander
and i aint mad at ya, im just protecting myself
and its cool if im understood by nobody else
1:03 hook
even when its crowded i still feel all alone
so many thoughts that be racing in my dome
aint being rude when i dont pick up my phone
just try to understand that i prefer it on my own
i guess im introverted
its about time you learned it
i guess im introverted
in case you never heard it
i guess im introverted
in case you felt deserted
i guess im introverted
i guess im introverted
1:27 verse
Even when I sit down, I feel like I stand out
was like that as a boy, same even as a man now
wanna get to know you, but i might have a breakdown
considered going homeless before i took a handout
fuck small talk, while yall talk, im writing raps on my phone
just rather not talk if i dont know em
imagine if they never let kanye into his zone
so give me some room kinda like a traffic cone
not that i hate people, dont know what to do with em
i know we both one in the same- we both human
a pointless conversation is not what im pursuing
you be like hi, my name's clint, how you doin?
i dont care. i dont mean no harm
might think im the worst guy like gambino song
the fact of the matter is you couldn't be more wrong
so instead of bothering you, i had to write this song

at a house party on some kid n play shit
saw this fly honey that was far from basic
its like nobody in the room even had faces
i just know we gotta unify like the races
she had natural hair and a beautiful stare
i mean, shorty was fine nobody compared
plus she was all by herself like solitaire
i gotta make a move now, i aint trying to share
skin peanut butter with the almond eyes
gotta get to know her fore these other guys
bout to pull up on her like a exercise
little more than thirsty, call it baptized
damn i think she saw me seeing her
know what that means, time to get to work
first, i checked my breath for some odor
then my nigga, this is what i told her:
:58 hook
saw you from across the room
wanna get to know you
here's my number
maybe we'll talk soon
i can go on and on like badu
we can be a pair like some shoes
if you knew how i do
you'll be coming soon like the preview
1:33 verse
friends call me nyk, you can do the same
damn how rude of me, i didnt catch your name
girl nobody touchin you with an oven mitt
and your shit sound just like my government
you know what they say about great minds,
i guess you can say we got some great moms
aint got no game, just say how i feel
these other dudes'll lie to you and try to say that they keep it real
but enough about me girl, tell me bout you
the things you like to watch, the things you like to do
oh you up on walking dead? man I like that shit too
and you watch anime? man i think that shit cool
let me take you out to dinner, maybe shoot pool
i just want you on my arm like a wolf tattoo
can't give you the world, but i can give you some smiles
and i'll do everything i can to make this last a while

Nyk got jams like boomshakalaka
He's on fire, name another rapper hotter

streets of rage was super urban
ninja gaiden had me cursing

power ranger mighty morphin
yall suck like kirby
you guys is unworthy
mask on like shinobi
starman yall cant hurt me
yall save hoes like cody
while we still do our thing
only cuz nyk is fly like an arwing
up in the club and you pulled a dime piece

hailing from the k town, where them boys dont play round
look close see em pitching crack by the playground
love kingstree, but i couldn't stay round
listen as I speak on my life on this great sound
youngest son of david and jane
i was born to be a prodigy, simple and plain
went to the schools, gettin nothing but As
forced to go to church, give nothing but praise
in hope for eternal life,
stared down a pistol twice
if i stayed there, then my future wasnt bright
ya boy had to leave to search for the light
im outta here, hopping on this greyhound,
headed from the k all the way to the a town
:50 beat break
:59 verse
hopped off the bus, I'm in the ATL
Bamma in the city bout to give em hell
small fish, big pond
started working papa johns
somebody please
tell me what the hell is goin on?
uncle jr let me know
atlanta wasnt just the videos
big rims, big booty hoes
black land of opportunity
im rapping like its you and me
appreciate me presently, not during my eulogy
but back to my biography
i trusted uncle jr, man that was lunacy
son i can't believe he was fooling me
this nigga had no class like truancy
every first of the month, he was robbing me
trying to steal from me like a fucking usurper
had to change his world like a fucking heart murmur
got my own spot, but we still coworkers
became manager to tell him scrub that surface
1:52 verse
left that bullshit behind
i could better spend my time
making videos or perfecting my rhymes
everything i saw was mine
no longer had to worry about a knife in the spine
funds in my pocket so now I can travel
started fixing macs, and went to the big apple
in Miami looking fly like Henry Cavill
my woofers was banging just like the judge gavel
went from cruising in the honda
to cruising in bahamas
i had to tell my mama
my account had a comma
was the bomb like osama
ain't worried about the drama
get the picture? panorama
try and cancel me, come back futurama
Keep looking, might find what I'm searching for
demand respect like a lion roar
I aint the best, what you lying for?
them other dudes aiight, but i inspire more

i dont believe in god
i just believe in me
you listen and you nod
but thinking blasphemy
i think its kinda odd
its all geography
you pick it for yourself
or they decide what you believe?
:25
now im warmed up, bring the heat in
was raised christian now the nigga is a heathen
didn't have a choice was told to believe in
a dude who drowned the whole world to stop it from breathin
you see man? that's genocide, you criticize
what if you had been alive?
had to hold you kids hands while they motherfuckin died
with a god like that, who needs satan?
20 years I stayed quiet, now I gotta weigh in
if children are our future, then stop the indoctrinatin
can't move forward with improper education
you idolize the preachers with nothing but ajulation
but the catholic church is where the predators are praying(preying)
1:02 hook 2x
your purpose,
be worthless
be filled of guilt
and let me get your ten percent
1:13 verse
apologize and repent
get on your knees
you can suck on this,
and take two of these
you think your money really be going to building fees?
even good intentions could lead to tragedy
if its blasphemy,
im sad to see
brainwashing my family
heathen, but i had visit heaven just to grab this beat
hear them horns son?
feel them trumpets playing?
dont really care, just hear what im sayin
i'm super, need more teachers, less recruiters
feeding they agendas and robbing us like some looters
we all got computers, but yall call em phones
you can learn anything a human's ever known
safari, firefox, opera, edge, or chrome
dont need a leader, you can learn it on your own
do some research, process it in your dome
if it dont make sense, you can cut it like michonne
(dont take my word for it)

Skyzoo, Phonte, Oddisee
Logic, killer Mike, saint bre
no matter what you said that i can't be
they helped me kill everybody who aint me
the world comes to a stop when i arrange these stanzas
my words are dope beat dancers
knew there was power in my blood when my dad beat cancer
so fuck your mainstream hip hop propaganda
you played yourself, i made myself
like no one else, you know what else?
they feel me more with every breath
they learning how to love theyself
figured if I couldn't beat em,
i'd join em and beat em on the beat
they couldn't walk with my sole
now they smelling defeat
so fuck the dj,
we dont care what he play
on the internet,
got the real shit on replay
declare your independence
with each and every sentence
when you got control you can never be the victim
:1:16 hook
Know you spent your days
being nonchalant
Wanna be the best,
Gotta do what they won't
Damned if you do,
Damned if you don't
Time is running out,
Better do what you want
