Stand Still (Interlude)

Woo, Woo
E you could be successful, right (Yeah)
As someone you're not
And, when you're trying to be a person, right
You're not
You cannot play this character, that's not you
For the rest of your life

Never knew that this shit would be complicated
Now the people that hated, telling me I made it
They never respected me down when I was in the basement, though
They never heard me when I said I was gonna make it, though
So now I don't know
Where I wanna go
I could have anything in the world
But now it's all old
And now I'm too cold
I be here shooting my shot, I'm so bold
I used to be telling my niggas you go
I don't wanna be somewhere I can't go
I don't wanna know
About all my critics
They don't care how much time I'm actually really spending
In the studio only own tryna get the right cadence
They just care about the money I be making

So now time stands still
Yet I still cant stand still
I don't wanna help till I get a phantom
If I do before they'll go and throw a temper tantrum
And I know
If I go broke, they don't wanna help
If I'm not strong, they don't wanna help
They didn't wanna stay pure
But I know ima love 'em still
That's why I know I can't stand still

Used to tell everyone that I had to plan it
That I was gonna win a grammy 'fore I'm married
Now I got the best woman that's on the planet
She was there for me when I was playing trumpet with Kanon
Now it's fuck all that 'you lacking' shit
Nigga why you acting like you always be packing shit
Then they like E why you like that
Why you always chatting shit, why you like that
(And that's why) That's why I get my money up
On the low these niggas always used to make fun of us
Every single hater always used to be just one of us
But I'd rather it be them, than have it just be anyone
And that why, I sin
I'm just a young man, a lot on my plate
My momma told me to be something great
Sorry if I'm too late, I been carrying the weight

So now time stands still
Yet I still can't stand still
I don't wanna help until I get a phantom
If I do before they'll go and throw a temper tantrum
And I know
If I go broke, they don't wanna help
If I'm not strong, they don't wanna help
They didn't wanna stay pure, but I know ima love 'em still
That's why I know I can't stand still

Woo, Woo
Woo, Woo
