Transparent

Why're you ignoring the effort
You're zoning out, looking right through like it's transparent
You want to me to do all the work
Let you take the credit, but I don't do transplants
When shit goes the way it's intended (ahh)
They'll start switching up like they're Ben 10 (huh, ahh)
Then I'll watch them cower and be sour
Who are we kidding, you should have expected it

I like to chill with my mask off
I said fuck it, I guess you can know me (guess you can know me)
Used to be scared of the backlash
I was trying so hard to keep it low key (keep it low key)
But when I realized that I would be popping
I stopped taking shit from these nobodies (ahh)
I won't let nobody hold me (nah)
I know they're tryna control freaks (nah)
I had to stick to the minimum wage
Just so they could give me the whole piece
Don't like to flex, but fuck it for the one time
I'll post it up like I'm Kobe
Why you be talking about, "I was with you from the start"
When that's not what you showed me (not what you showed me, no no)
My shit done took heart
Got my push start
We be riding with no key
I kept on throwing money in the dirt and I had to upgrade my lifestyle
I told my people that life was gon change
But they looked confused. They was like, "how?" (sheesh)
I knew you always had high doubts
But I had to stick to the plan
And I gotta build up my land like right now
I'll make it worthwhile
I'll plant my seed in that bitch and make it fertile (uhh)
I gotta grow crops
I'ma empty the whole stock
Then repeat like a soap opera (wait)
But I'm a show stopper
And I'm in my own genre
They tried to give me a low offer
Fuck it, I'll stay on my own nigga (go nigga go)

I'm going to Penn State (yeah)
Just look at what I'm writing up (hmm hmm)
They never thought a nigga would be counting it up (yeah yeah yeah)
Swear I was stuck but I had to step out of the mud
And they can't handle the trap (no they can't handle it)
Can't bear, can't bear it (no)
I know they're tryna to take me off course
And put me in the wrong bearings (wrong bearings yea)
That's why I gotta keep my mind clear as Sprite
Transparent, transparent (transparent yeah)
I feel like a bull when I'm writing, I'm rushing, (Yeah)
I can feel the adrenaline (ooh ooh)
Glad that I don't feel the pain though
Cuz' I know that people been judging my melanin (people be judging my)
Take that shit right off my mind
Yeah I know my fate
And I'm in my element (na na na)
While you keep pushing it to the side
I'm not tryna wait, I don't wanna be celibate (no I'm not tryna be)
Didn't have no time to play
But that shit done paid off like a settlement (ooh ahh)
I'm accruing the interest of people
That didn't really care to take notice initially (ooh)
They say I'm not official
But time will remember my name and they're gonna be history (ahh)
Can't handle the struggle
They're thinking bout faking their death like Huckleberry Finn
And they want be subtle now that they're in trouble
They're so reserved that it's making them transparent
Transparent (Yeah)
Transparent (Yeah)
