I TELL YOU WHAT (feat. KACI the DON)

I ain't
Never been no baller
May not be no G
But I got something special that's inside of me
I ain't never been no baller
May not be no G
But I got something special that's inside of me

I ain't never been a point guard
Never got letters sent to my house
Full-ride shit in my front yard
I had friends like that
I was jealous at the time
But it's funny life bends right back
Because I couldn't see myself in front of thousands
Well not in that way
Sis put me on the mic and I watched her freestyle
So I had to segue to pick another career
That every black mom fears
To the day she saw how the crowd chanted cheers
Leaders into our latest years
Instead of catching alleys I be catching ears
Make it clear
I gotta fixing for a verse
Just like a linebacker gotta hit em where it hurts
Combine never would've reached all these verts
Only time I started five was on a goddamn verse

I ain't never been no baller may not be no G
But I got something special that's inside of me
When I
Get on this mic and they lay down that beat
Betcha ain't never heard a nigga iller than me
Cause I'm an ill-ass nigga ill-ass nigga
Ill-ass nigga what you say
Ill-ass nigga ill-ass nigga
Ill-ass nigga what you say
Ill-ass nigga ill-ass nigga
Ill-ass nigga what you say
Ill-ass nigga ill-ass nigga
Get the fuck up out my way

I ain't
never been no leader at receiver
But I need you to understand
The reason I believed in a dream such as this
With the routes and tips
Cause in my vision I was nice
With releases and tricks
But I missed
Something was going on
Cause lately I been going off
The melodies and beats
So now the people think my flow is raw
So I guess they was fucking with what I said now
Cause every time I wrote a verse
I had a goddamn crowd
Look where I am now
I see the people understand
That I'm the man with the plan
The best in the damn town
I'm out here dropping new albums
Making my fans proud
People see me following my dreams
Look how it panned out
Young nigga became the best with the pen
Showing y'all why the kid is top 5 never 10
Come again I meant top 1 now scratch 2
So make sure that when you hear you get a first class view Damn

I ain't never been no baller may not be no G
But I got something special that's inside of me
When I
Get on this mic and they lay down that beat
Betcha ain't never heard a nigga iller than me
Cause I'm an ill-ass nigga ill-ass nigga
Ill-ass nigga what you say
Ill-ass nigga ill-ass nigga
Ill-ass nigga what you say
Ill-ass nigga ill-ass nigga
Ill-ass nigga what you say
Ill-ass nigga ill-ass nigga
Get the fuck up out my way

I went to school to run D1 ACC
Then learned locker room politics
Won't the place for me
Couple injuries and a coach that had it in for me
Had me benched before I could sprint
That spelled the end for me
Mmm not quite
Had to switch up get it right
Now on Monday nights
I'm dropping mics at the site
Walk to class people pass
Like you cid tha kid right
I'm like yeah they like tight
That shit you spit mad nice
I would always smile back
And say that I appreciate it
Confidence started peaking
Self-esteem is elevated
Grateful the redirection
Ain't make me hateful
Matter fact for the time I thought I lost
I made more
Now I'm the bomb on the dorm
Had homies on every floor
Had partners at every school
And frats in every sport
A lyrical queen pen just check the rap sheet
Still running for that gold
But ho this ain't no track meet bitch

I ain't never been no baller may not be no G
But I got something special that's inside of me
When I
get on this mic and they lay down that beat
Betcha ain't never heard a nigga iller than me
Cause I'm an ill-ass nigga ill-ass nigga
Ill-ass nigga what you say
Ill-ass nigga ill-ass nigga
Ill-ass nigga what you say
Ill-ass nigga ill-ass nigga
Ill-ass nigga what you say
Ill-ass nigga ill-ass nigga
Get the fuck up out my way
