lyrics

[Intro/pre-verse]
Yeah..... Listen..... Look....
I am a martyr, I will die for this
I am influenced by D'wayne Carter
Dr. Carter
The Carter 3, The Carter 2
Pardon me, no pardon you
These artists be arguably
Denying the roots of their artistry

[Verse 1]
A part of me don't have time for this
Youtube viewers with comments and all that jazz
Don't have *eh* to do with my confidence
You ain't at the show where my momma is!
You ain't on stage where my honor is
You ain't backstage at an unpaid gig
With the rest of the crew arguing
With a greedy host "where them dollars is?"
Wooh, yeah, what you know about that?
What you know about a full tank of gas
From taking your car to the 919 to the 828
You can do the math:
That's 494 miles there and back
I get about 34 to the gallon
So 14 at 2.25...
$31 just for the ride
And you want me to do this just for pride?
I say little man have you lost your mind?
I wonder what it is with a host these days
Asking me to do a free show these days
Asking me to spit a couple flows these days
Offering me no dough these days
Don't they know I'm a damn pro these days?
Don't they know that my tape dope these days?

[Hook: Sk & Hunter Bennett]
Tap inside my mind and you'll find gold
(Gold, gold, gold, gold)
Tap inside of my mind, you'll find gold
(Gold, gold)
Tap inside of my mind, you'll find gold
(Gold, gold, gold, gold)
Tap inside of my mind, you'll find gold
(Gold, gold)
Ain't no use in frontin' I am DOPE
(Dope, dope)
Ain't no use in frontin' I am DOPE
(Dope, dope)
Ain't no use in lyin' I am NICE
(Nice, nice)
You don't wanna hand the man the mic
(Nah, nah, nah, nah)

[Pre-verse]
I am a martyr, I will die for this
I am influenced by D'wayne Carter
Dr. Carter
The Carter 3, The Carter 2
Pardon me, no pardon you
These artists be arguably
Denying the roots of their artistry

[Verse 2]
A part of me don't have time for pain
I done went through pain
I got real anxiety latching on my brain
I got demons in my soul
All I got is rock 'n roll
All I got is one microphone
One stage and one flow, and they go
"Oh my God, guess who's back?"
Never left, as a matter of fact
Dope-song-spitter
Home-run-hitter
The coach just put him the batter at bat
Babe Ruth, Derek Jeter
I got a Queen if you ever meet her
Ask her to, she'll tell the tale
Of the one man who never failed
That's me, not you
Have to be top 2
Have to be greatest wonder
Don't believe me? Take a number
Take the time to analyze
The flow, the words, the rhythm, rhyme
Add up every little piece and bit
You'll realize you ain't with the kid, like that

[Bridge: Hunter Bennett]
Ya'll ain't with the kid
Ya'll ain't with the King
Ya'll ain't with the *yee*
Ya'll ain't got the keys
Ya'll ain't with the kid
Ya'll ain't with the King
Ya'll ain't with the *yee*
Ya'll ain't got the keys

[Hook: Sk & Hunter Bennett]
Tap inside my mind and you'll find gold
(Gold, gold, gold, gold)
Tap inside of my mind, you'll find gold
(Gold, gold)
Tap inside of my mind, you'll find gold
(Gold, gold, gold, gold)
Tap inside of my mind, you'll find gold
(Gold, gold)
Ain't no use in frontin' I am DOPE
(Dope, dope)
Ain't no use in frontin' I am DOPE
(Dope, dope)
Ain't no use in lyin' I am NICE
(Nice, nice)
You don't wanna hand this man the mic, mic, mic
(Nah, nah)
Run it back, ain't no use in frontin' I am DOPE
(Dope, dope)
Ain't no use in frontin' I am DOPE
(You know, you know!)
Ain't no use in lyin', I am NICE
(Nice)
You don't wanna hand the man the mic, mic, mic
Like bloah!

[Outro: Hunter Bennett]
You might find gold....
Tap inside of my mind
And you might find gold....
