The Best Villain

I'm back
Listen, acknowledge the old me didn't last
Mistakes and failures, best teachers I ever had
I enrolled in the spring and fall, plus summer class
I'm a difficult test now, make it hard for you to pass
Cause of you my sounds a little different
I don't dumb things down, I force you all to listen
See, at the beginning you treat me like a scrimmage
Now I'm built to the point where I'll destroy your image
See, talent was always there, just unconditioned
Rejected, couldn't see the gift that I was bringing
Too busy enjoying the center of attention
Your narcissistic hero spawned the best villain
Who
That's E-double-L-O
Earning recognition for catalyst cutthroat
To the sequel of J. Cole, that's a reach, I know
That's why I said it, I'm fully aware
And I know you won't forget it, I'm overly confident
Making it easy for me to receive the opposite of compliments
Yes, the darkness is my ally
Lost in my thoughts, writing lines
Difficult to deny, no lie, alright
May I kick it
Yes, you can
May I kick it
Yes, you can
So I ask for permission, seeking admission
Whether you heard that mission or admission
May I kick it
Yes, you can
May I kick it
Yes, you can
So I ask for permission, seeking admission
Whether you heard that mission or admission
Listen, all my life been searching for recognition
Late off the porch, overly sheltered that kept me hidden
My mother felt no choice once I lost my older sibling
In hindsight, might have saved my life, I'm still living
No real father, just one that stepped up
As I still see him stepping over thoughts of giving up
Treating me like a child, kept his name being disrespected
But as a struggling adult, what else to be expected
A walking failure is something I always felt
Trying to make it out of nothing with the hand that I been dealt
It's a financial curse, knowing nothing but yourself
Got money, what I do, yup
Spent it on myself, that's E-double-L-O
Earning recognition for catalyst cutthroat
To the sequel of J.Cole, that's a reach
I know, that's why I said it
I'm fully aware, and I know you won't forget it
I'm overly confident, making it easy for me to receive
the opposite of compliments
Yes sir, the darkness is my ally
Lost in my thoughts, writing lines
Difficult to deny, no lie, alright
May I kick it
Yes, you can
May I kick it
Yes, you can
So I ask for permission, seeking admission
Whether you heard that mission or admission
May I kick it
Yes, you can
May I kick it
Yes, you can
So I
