Lights Up (Intro)

[Intro]
Believe me
Are you not American?
I have blown up

[Verse 1]
I remember a time before I had to be
Woke everytime I opened my mic to speak
How I could say what came to my mind
Now I have to watch what I say or I'll
Be booted off to the nearest anti-PC camp
I'm pretty sure that's just a box of kitty litter with sand
Why be literally everyone's nightmare?
A lot of people just wouldn't be able to quite bare
The pressure of studies and still take care of music
And myself physically and also my mental health
I don't need every meal to be candle-lit
Just as long as I can afford to pay for it
Don't need to make up faker shit
I can make a hit
In three weeks if I wanted to
Really wanted to
But I'm really out of tune
My attitude - Toward music is meh, yeah

[Verse 2]
I remember a time when it was the same choppy flow
From "'Til I Collapse" in 2002, Eminem Show
They gave respect, that's what it meant, when they bent low
It wasn't with malicious intent, no foreseen shuns were meant, no
Hold the phone, that's when the albums were mint
MMLP, All Eyez On Me, don't forget 2Pacalypse
When the normie myth was that nothin' rhymed with orange
It was eye-patched, buttered-bread pricks with four inch
Dicks who stick out from the crowd 'cause they got more shit
The same ones with parents who got abortions
The portion of people who give two shits
About what others are doing is too big
So now that the lights are up
Now that my mic is on
I can explain why I belong
Amongst the cream of the crop
The top of the verbal food chain
A drop in the world of the rap game
A rock in the middle of the street (Nah)
More like a sea-shell on a beach (Yeah)
So now that the lights are up
Now that my mic is on
I can explain why I belong
Amongst the cream of the crop
You know that I'll never stop
You know that I'm never gone
Know that I'm never gone

[Outro]
Cyler, yeah
