"Singer" lyrics

[Ollie:]
Yo dawg, what the hell is this?
I didn't know you still—

Rap, only thing on my mind is run up the cash
All my brothers gon' shine before I relax
I had to show the world to believe
I'm living out facts
Working the night shift, can't sleep, I'll never go back
Only thing on my mind is run up the cash
All my brothers gon' shine before I relax
I had to show the world to believe
I'm living out facts
Working the night shift, can't sleep, I'll never go back

I just run through
Manifest and believe 'til it come true
It's funny how I'm overlooked in my hometown
But I'm playing these arenas out in Chengdu
Lotta people love to talk but got no time
Lotta people upset how my light shine
Lotta people want a six-pack overnight
Spending hours doing research online
No the job not finished 'til the job get done
If you're looking for a handout, y'all ain't get none
Everybody love sleep, I'm surprised I'm stunned
They don't wanna be the greatest
They don't wanna be the one
That's fine, that's cheap, buy it all up
Especially a discount, save a few bucks
When you give up on yourself
When you give up on your dreams
I don't want you coming around, you ain't someone I trust
And that's just a—

Rap, yeah, only thing on my mind is run up the cash
Yeah, all my brothers gon' shine before I relax
I had to show the world to believe
I'm living out facts
Working the night shift, can't sleep, I'll never go back
Only thing on my mind is run up the cash
All my brothers gon' shine before I relax
I had to show the world to believe
I'm living out facts
Working the night shift, can't sleep, I'll never go back

Nah, I can't go back to no minimum wage
All of my energy I've been protecting
'Cause too many people ain't give what they take
I'm tryna run up a cheque for my brothers
And make sure that all of my family paid
I wanna show all the fans what's possible
When you persistent day after day
When no one believed
Yeah, yeah, ayy, ayy
I think it's time they show me some respect
Feel like it's 2015, and I'm Beck
I hear 'em talking, underneath they breath
I've been consistent, dropping through a couple eras
But I still ain't really started yet
I had to crown myself 'cause this a generation
That don't give you flowers 'til you're dead

[Merkules:]
Plaque after plaque, it's apparent we major
I'm in my most fearless era like Taylor
Got this from pops, I inherit the flavor
I feel like Neo right here in the Matrix
Hold up, I used to do coke, no cola
Had to leave it all alone and now the streets just go up
I'ma bring it back to Napster or Motorola
Tell these rappers for a fee I can ghostwrite for 'em
I shoot 'em up close to determine they dead
I don't write, I just type out each verse in my head
I'm the GOAT in my city, I earn my respect
And that's permanent, flow is too merciless
Nobody's working as hard, so you owe me a check
Are you stupid, the way that I'm moving?
You think I'm a jeweler 'cause I might just go for your neck
And then choke you until there's no vocal chords left
I'm a time bomb ticking this was quiet unscripted
Y'all stink, tell the others bring some Lysol with 'em
When I'm done, your probably notice that the mic's all dented
That's 'cause I'm authentic and I strive off lyrics
Shout out to Ollie, we've been out here bodying records
Knew this was my calling, can't stop the obsession
I'm blessed 'cause they all could be gone in a second
Death Row on my headstone, you gotta respect it
It's Merk

Ollie, I see you, man
