"The Repertoire" lyrics
Where you been, Miles, huh, where you been?
Where you been, Miles, like, where you been?
They were laughing at my dreams, it was hahaha
But I ain't let it get to me, nope, nada, nah
Back when Wayne was dropping tapes with the lalala
That was way back, lemme hear the playback, damn
No competitor, director and the editor, I'm
Good with money, I could probably be a treasurer (I could)
Stand-up guy, I duck the hecklers (You suck!)
Practice makes perfect, check the repeter
Oops, I meant the repertoire
Got inside a better car, steering wheel the letter "R"
Use to stress the payments on the credit card
My only focus is how high that I could set a bar
If you ask me, shit, I've been a star (Been a star)
I ain't complaining when the ref are making poor calls
Cut the beat, I ain't afraid to break the fourth wall
I ain't afraid to talk to 'em for real
It's therapeutic, man, you gotta talk through it to heal
Took the independent route, I'm not doing a deal
It started clicking like when she walked through with her heels
Click, walked through with her heels
They had some trouble hearing when I said I do this for real
'Cause they were laughing at my dreams, it was hahaha (Ha)
But I ain't let it get to me, nope, nada, nah (Nah)
Back when Wayne was dropping tapes with the lalala (Remember?)
That was way back, lemme hear the playback (Playback)
I said, "Excuse me, miss, I don't like assuming shit
But this a song that you usually skip"
I write chapters of my life like movie scripts
Fans feeling like they know exactly who he is, man
I'm loyal and dependable (True)
Always move intentional (I do)
Figured out the path, it's just a little unconventional (True)
They sleeping on the kid like it's they job, it's unprofessional (True)
Income, income, expendable
I really need, like, two and a half from doing the math
Actually, make it three 'cause I ain't really including the tax
I got a lot of wall space, I'm leaving room for the plaques (Yes)
Cut records, I ain't cutting the slack (Now bring it back)
I ain't reinventing the wheel
I steer clear of the bullshit by keeping it real
When I speak how I feel
Being cool is overrated, I don't see the appeal
Made it this far, this feeling's surreal
'Cause I remember
They were laughing at my dreams, it was hahaha
But I ain't let it get to me, nope, nada, nah
Back when Wayne was dropping tapes with the lalala
That was way back, lemme hear the playback, ayy, ayy
Uh, ayy, you just a side player, you an NPC
Stay banging on the drums like an NPC
I used to pray my music would be on MTV
Then they stopped playing music on MTV
Know these motherfuckers envy me, the MVP
Freestyling, bitch, man, it's straight off the dome
I ain't at the crib when I'm taking it home, I'm gone
Alright, end it there
Where you been, Miles, like, where you been?
They were laughing at my dreams, it was hahaha
But I ain't let it get to me, nope, nada, nah
Back when Wayne was dropping tapes with the lalala
That was way back, lemme hear the playback, damn
No competitor, director and the editor, I'm
Good with money, I could probably be a treasurer (I could)
Stand-up guy, I duck the hecklers (You suck!)
Practice makes perfect, check the repeter
