Lyrics
I said listen
I'm urging you to pay attention
Please dont talk to me crazy
Kindly avoid speaking to me in a crazy or irrational manner
I got a bad habit of causing static, word to Steve Lacy
I have a tendency to create disturbances, acknowledging Steve Lacy as a witness
I wish I knew a nigga better but my memory hazy
I wish I had a better understanding of a person, but my memory is unclear
The way I'm always in the stu, you could never tell me I'm lazy
I spend a lot of time in the studio; don't underestimate my work ethic
But listen
Reiterating the call to pay attention
All you niggas are so-so
You all are average; I'm indifferent to your style
I'm so, so deaf to your style, your shit a no-no
Your work is unacceptable
Like, Oh no, Asiko boutta go so fuckin loco
I'm about to go crazy, and we will be forgotten because they neglect us
And we gon fade away cause they forgot us, no Coco
We'll fade away, and there's no recognition (no Coco)
Awww
An expression of emotion, almost crying
I almost shed a tear
Expressing a desire for meaningful conversation
If only you were talkin bout some shit that I wanna hear
I am not an ordinary person; I am to be feared
I'm not your average nigga, I am the one to be feared
Once I establish my career, it's over for others
It's up for yall as soon as I make all this shit my career
Emphasizing the need to pay attention again
Okay but listen
Questioning who I am
I know youre like Whos he
I talk in a confident but unconventional manner; I need to prove myself
Hes talking kinda crazy and he still gotta prove he
My actions must match my words to be recognized
Can live up to what he says, and if he wants to be
If I want to succeed, I must bring new and impressive work
The next up then he better bring on some new heat
Reiterating the call to pay attention
But listen
No one can hinder my progress
There aint nobody stopping me
I am creating a distinctive and creative body of work
From creating the most unique, creative discography
My artistic expression is flawless, and I do it with great care
My philosophy is that my art, I'm doing it flawlessly
Assuming that no one will match my artistic expression thoughtfully
And honestly, nobody gon ever do it as thoughtfully
Emphasizing the need to pay attention again
But listen
Explaining why I believe I'm like an assassin
Look I know you asking, Why this nigga think that he an assassin
Listing qualities of aspiration, poise, and precision that I possess
Aspiration, poise, and precision, shit that I'm never lacking
Asking the listener to remain engaged as I gather a large audience
So stay fastened as I begin amassing masses of people who like my rapping
Requesting the audience to listen attentively
I know you can hear me but really I'm asking you to
Expressing confidence in my abilities
Listen
Reiterating the call to pay attention
To how my pen is on fire
Highlighting the strength of my writing
To how imma cause the retirement of those I admire
Expressing the impact I aim to have on those I admire
To how with each word I seem to ascend higher and higher
Stating that with each word, I aim to elevate myself
To how the crown is the only object of my desires
My only goal is to attain the crown
But listen
Emphasizing the need to pay attention again
I aint even done
Asserting that I'm just getting started
I have just begun
Assuring that I have more to offer in the future
Best believe I'm cookin and theres still more yet to come
Confidently stating that I am actively working and more is to come
This is one of them ones and the only thing shining brighter is the muthafuckin sun
Comparing the brightness of my work to the sun
