What Do I Know

I've been doing this for almost half my life
Jesus Christ
So understand it's a insult when you say I'm nice
Cause honestly I'm more mother Teresa with the mic
Or maybe saint nick
Pope Francis
Cause my bars transition better then Tik Tok dances
But no foreal
I got skill
Cause I could say GET OUT
That's key
And that shit would have appeal
Ain't that funny
You get it
But even still they tell me not to spit it
Dumb it down
Repeat yourself over and over
Don't make em bow to you
Just say shit to make them bend over
That don't make sense
But I guess it makes dollars
You could work for a one way ticket to success
Or be the 16th caller
I guess that baller
Short lived
But you die taller
I guess rapping is more singing
And follower bringing
Parton me
I guess raising the bar
Is a parent teaching harmonies
Is the way to go
It's a new flow
That'll make you blow
Until you got to freestyle on ya favorite radio show
But what do I know

I'm still trying to get on
So homie what do I know
I'm still tryna grow
So homie what do I know
They say he got a better flow
So homie what do I know
So what do I know

I mean I only won a Emmy
I was the third one
It was me
Common
And Beverly Glovers son
I've had parades in my honor
Never had to say your honor
And a day named after me man that was the biggest honor
And don't forget this is all from rapping the way that I do
I asked if it got gold in it
The Grammys said that it do
I don't flex doe on the gram
Well maybe I do
It's hard not to do
When there's cookies that look just like you
Man life is sweet
And this is all from rapping clear on a beat
No mumbling over the drums
Or Adlibs to compete
No Twitter intimidation
Or on screen fire power
Just knowing 15 minutes of fame
Is less then 31 hours
You understand
I did something
No one has ever done
It wasn't trendy or something I would do just for fun
It wasn't a gimmick to get a platinum record
Cause I'm that needle in the haystack
God drops on world records
Steve Madden endorsements
Billboards in Times Square
More proclamations
Then any rapper around here
Being versatile
And changing my own pitch
It got me on Monday Night Football
And throwing the first pitch
And that's all from working hard and a few punchlines
Cause earning your own credit is more impressive then needing a co-sign
But never mind
I'm still waiting to blow
what do I know
My dreams only got one follower
And it's someone you don't know

So what do I know
Man I'm still tryna grow
So homie what do I know
So what do I know
So what do I know
So what do I know
Say he got a better flow
So homie what do I know
