I'm dedicated, the definition of dedicationWrote this whole record while I was levitatingSittin' in my room with the pen and paper, I'm innovativeThey've been afraid of me since I was a second graderI'm the kid on the playground mama told you to never play withThere's levels of music—and I'm in the elevatorGoing up to the top floor, look how we elevatedBut if you don't know the brand by now, you better get educatedTake both of my arms, rip 'em out the sockets and separate 'emForgive me, yeah, I know I get animatedDon't matter, I still write a better record than yours without a hesitationNever been more motivatedJust look at all the minds I have opened and penetratedSee, I am the voice of all these kids that think things, but never say 'emThat's why they come to my shows wearing the NF hoodies and hats low like we're carrying weapons, ah!Put the controllers away, it's game overI promise I'm way colderThe fans keep saying that they're hungry for new music, well that's pretty convenient 'cause I just made a plate for 'emAnd now I'm hearing none of y'all are sayingI just sit at the keys feeling the musicGot me thinking I'm BeethovenThe game needs a makeoverIf you've been waiting, the wait's overYou ain't notice, y'all about to witness a takeover, I'm home!Yeah, they waiting on me to match themThe emotion I had in the last oneBut if I don't, they gonna tell me that I'm losing my passionIf I do, am I repeating my actions?Yeah, look, "How Could You Leave Us" is massiveThere ain't nothing I can write that'll match thatMy biggest fear writing this record wasn't putting out trashIt was disappointing myself and the fan baseNow I want you to picture me:I'm in a hotel rapping, crying on the floor of the bathroomStaring in the mirror, my room, hands shaking playing"How Could You Leave Us" through the speakers on my iPhoneTryna to figure out if I'ma always feel the way that I feel or maybe someday I can learn to be happyOr maybe I can't be, 'cause if the music ain't emotional enough,Are they gon' call me a has-been?Pain's always been the root of my musicIf I cut it off, how am I supposed to keep growingIf I let it go, won't my whole career be in ruins?That's when I realized this whole conversation is stupidI never cared to impress people that don't even know meI just write what I feel, somehow it started a movementTrying to enjoy a career, but I don't know how to do it,When I spend all of time my being afraid I'ma lose it!But, then I figured out the reason they follow meThe reason why these fans surrounding meIt's not 'cause I'm a "Rap God"I don't need you people to bow to meAll they ever did was doubt on me, now everyone's proud of meAcknowledge me or not, you ain't ignoring the followingI'm just teaching 'em something they couldn't learn in they collegesThis is for the kids feeling like they live at the bottomAnd every day of they lives, feels like it's darker than Halloween!Yeah, you ain't alone out there, look around youWe got a lot of fans in hereCouple hundred thousand, that's what we did last yearListen to Intro 3, trying to kill my fearThey'll get that in a minuteWe about to shatter the criticsI am a savage admit itA lot of baggage I live inThat's why the passion is differentReally don't care if they get itWe're only three records in it and this is just the beginningI'm home!Real music
