lyrics

Verse 1:

I just hit them people for a check
I was gettin paid up out the town
Mama hit my line before I left
It should be the other way around
I get so much peace when I’m away
Then I know exactly what I’m missin'
Still be gettin chronic migraines
Guess that’s what I get for being brilliant

Walked out the label as a martyr
I ain’t really need 'em when I started
But I really love a good machine
Cold blood left me cold hearted
But a lotta hate could never break me
You can’t make me stop from doing gay things
I can make it hot when I say things
God be blessing me cuz I’m amazing

Hook:
Guess that’s what I get for being brilliant

Pre verse :
I'm
Young gifted and Black
Bitch you bet not turn yo back

Verse 2:

Fresh mango
Tofu breaded in Panko
Bumpin Ani Difranco
Body sore but grateful
Reading up on my Plato
Writing up on my novel
Sneaking up on u bitches
Poppin' up at the brothel

Attitude like a Baldwin
Smack the fuck outta posers
The uninspired untalented nut holders
But they be shareholders
Are we the sharecroppers?
Is it worth my whole budget
For this to be shared proper?

We buss our ass then we shake shit
I don’t give a fuck 'bout being famous
I just want some freedom, word to Amy
Access and time is a great thing

I'ma need potato for my gravy
I ain’t comin' out if you don’t pay me
Had to cut her loose cuz she was flakey
Guess that’s what I get for tryna save fleas, dog
