"GIVE ME A REASON" lyrics

Yeah, enough with the love, I need to be hated again
I need somebody to wake up the beast and really get under my skin
I need somebody to push me, tell me that I ain't no good with the pen
I need somebody to poke and pry and really get into my head
I need somebody to laugh, tell me I'm trash, tell me I might as well quit
I need somebody to grab the blade in my back, stab, and give it a twist
I need somebody to smash, break all my plaques
Tell me I shouldn't exist
I need somebody to ask why you even rap
"You'll never be one of the—" (Hey)
I need somebody to brag and show me their cash
And tell me, "You'll never be rich"
I need somebody with stats and numbers and facts
Tell me I ain't got no hits
I need somebody who's wack and ain't got no class to tell me I'm not on they list
I need somebody to act like I'm in the past so I can remind 'em I'm here
I need somebody to—

Give me a reason, woah, give me a reason
Ayy, give me a reason, woah, yeah
Give me a reason (Woo, woo, woo)
I forgot what that struggle like (Mmm)
I forgot what that hustle like (Mmm)
I forgot what that humble like (Mmm)
I forgot what that, I forgot what that (Ayy)

I ain't forget about nothin', to keep it a hundred, I'm honestly bored
I wanna feel like I felt when nobody was followin' me and I had no awards
I wanna get back to hearin' them call me a wannabe Shady who ain't got no voice
I want the people that promised they'd always be with me to leave me and walk out the door
I want the fans to quit buyin' them tickets and tell me they don't want to see me on tour
I want the label to drop me and tell me it's over, the music ain't makin' no noise
I want the critics to call me a gimmick and tell me they thought I was better before
I wanna hear you keep talkin' the way that you talkin' when no one's around to record
(I wanna—) Woo, yeah, I want a story
I wanna hear about how you ain't feelin' the music and why it ain't better than yours
(I wanna—) Woo, yeah, tell me some more
I wanna hear about, I wanna talk about
I wanna air it out, I need somebody to

Yeah, give me a reason, woah, give me a reason
Ayy, give me a reason, woah
Give me a reason (Woo)
I forgot what that struggle like (Ayy)
I forgot what that hustle like (Ayy)
I forgot what that humble like (Ayy)
I forgot what that, I forgot what that (Woo)
