[00:18.970]I'm dedicated, the definition of dedication
[00:20.830]Wrote this whole record while I was levitating
[00:22.530]Sittin' in my room with the pen and paper, I'm innovative
[00:24.640]They've been afraid of me since I was a second grader
[00:27.090]I'm the kid on the playground momma told you to never play with
[00:29.480]There's levels of music—and I'm in the elevator
[00:31.530]Going up to the top floor, look how we elevated
[00:33.780]But you don't know the brand by now, you better get educated
[00:36.490]Take both of my arms, rip 'em out of sockets and seperate 'em
[00:39.350]Forgive me, yeah, I know I get animated
[00:41.190]Don't matter, I still write a better record than yours without a hesitation
[00:43.850]Never been more motivated
[00:45.700]Just look at all the minds I've opened and penetrated
[00:47.450]See, I am the voice of all these kids that think things but never say 'em
[00:51.220]That's why they come to my shows wearing the NF hoodies and hats low
[00:54.420]Like we're carrying weapons
[00:55.570]
[00:56.430]Put the controllers away, it's game over
[00:58.140]I promise I'm way colder
[00:59.700]The fans keep saying that they're hungry for new music
[01:01.960]Well that's pretty convenient because I just made a plate for 'em
[01:04.570]And now I'm hearing none of y'all are saying
[01:05.930]I just sit at the keys feeling the music
[01:07.580]Got me thinking I'm Beethoven
[01:09.140]The game needs a makeover
[01:09.990]If you've been waiting, the wait's over
[01:11.910]You ain't notice, y'all about to witness a takeover, I'm home!
[01:14.890]Yeah, they waiting on me to match that
[01:16.310]The emotion I had in the last one
[01:17.870]But if I don't, they gonna tell me that I'm losing my passion
[01:20.570]If I do am I repeating my actions?
[01:23.300]
[01:23.560]Yeah, look, "How Could You Leave Us" is massive
[01:25.410]There ain't nothing I can write that'll match that
[01:27.210]My biggest fear writing this record wasn't putting out trash
[01:30.210]It was disappointing myself and the fanbase
[01:31.970]Now I want you to picture me
[01:33.670]I'm in a hotel rapping, crying on the floor of the bathroom
[01:36.680]Staring in the mirror, my room, hand shaking playing
[01:39.280]"How Could You Leave Us" through the speakers on my iPhone
[01:41.440]Trying to figure out if I'ma always feel the way that I feel
[01:43.990]Or maybe someday I can learn to be happy
[01:45.940]Or maybe I can't be, 'cause if the music ain't emotional enough
[01:49.350]Are they gonna call me a has-been?
[01:50.700]
[01:52.150]Pain's always been the root of my music
[01:53.560]If I cut it off, how am I supposed to keep growing
[01:55.720]If I let it go, won't my whole career be in ruins?
[01:57.820]That's when I realized this whole conversation is stupid
[02:00.080]I never cared to impress people that don't even know me
[02:02.680]I just write what I feel, somehow it started a movement
[02:04.990]Trying to enjoy a career but I don't know how to do it
[02:07.450]When I spend all of time my being afraid I'ma lose it
[02:10.060]But then I figured out the reason they follow me
[02:12.250]The reason the why these fans surrounding me
[02:14.160]It's not 'cause I'm a "Rap God"
[02:15.620]I don't need you people to bow to me
[02:17.370]All they ever did was doubted me, now everyone's proud of me
[02:19.070]Acknowledge me or not, you ain't ignoring the following
[02:20.980]I'm just teaching 'em something they couldn't learn in they colleges
[02:24.280]
[02:24.480]This is for the kids feeling like they live at the bottom
[02:26.100]And every day of they lives looks like it's darker than Halloween
[02:29.410]Yeah, you ain't alone out there
[02:30.710]Look around you—we got a lot of fans in here
[02:32.620]Couple hundred thousand, that's what we did last year
[02:35.340]Listen to Intro 3, trying to kill my fear
[02:37.550]They'll get that in a minute
[02:39.010]We about to shatter the critics
[02:40.110]I am a savage admit it
[02:41.300]A lot of baggage I live in
[02:42.420]That's why the passion is different
[02:43.610]Really don't care if they get it
[02:44.740]We're only three records in it, and this is just the beginning
[02:46.740]I'm home!
[02:51.490]Real music
