"For Anybody" lyrics
XV, MIKE SUMMERS & TOBi Lyrics
You know, people always expect you to change up but, (I wouldn't do it for anybody). Never. But that's just me. For real. Look...
From the jump I'm the one, never been a copy
Drive crazy, sign your baby like Ricky Bobby
I've seen the highs and the lows, still it didn't stop me
I told 'em (I wouldn't do it for anybody)
Fake bitches always lookin' for a real one
When you lit, they be quick to get the deal done
Old niggas dressin' corny just to feel young
But uhhhh (I wouldn't do it, wouldn't do it for-)
Thinkin' I'll slow down
Leavin' my hometown
Tell all of them, "I am him" that's my pronoun
It's sink or swim when you winnin' and I won't drown
Novice losses helped a nigga become profound
Drawin' the line is part of my design
Got stripes like I'm Waldo, always hard to find
My own mind is where my thoughts combine
If I cared what y'all think I've either lost my mind
Never let a setback take me back to the start
Only let me lips talk what I have in my heart
Fuck a script, never spit like I'm actin' a part
Take it back when I thought (I wouldn't do it for anybody)
Had to be smart
Wouldn't show my ass over art
Somebody said, "That's why you'll never get yo' ass on the charts"
Write it on the blackboard after class like I'm Bart
The path was hard but still (I wouldn't do it, wouldn't do it for-)
Now, I know some bitches givin' head just to get a body
Brought a few to the room from the building lobby
Unless you see me Africa I ain't hittin' Molly
I told ya, (I wouldn't do it for anybody)
Fake bitches always lookin' for a real one
When you lit, they be quick to get the deal done
Old niggas dressin' corny just to feel young
But uhhhh (I wouldn't do it, wouldn't do it for anybody)
I'm goin' there with it
I'm in the air with it
I'm off the top, table, glasses and chairs with it
Bet against me, I swear you're losing your head with it
The way the hate take a toll just ain't fair (fare) is it?
Kidney shots and I'm sending back arrows
I'm hittin' locks 'til it's gettin' black; pharaoh
With all my mental toughness, live off my inner compass
So when I want it I got it like Jack Sparrow
They be shady as Lashawn on they tracks
I'm solid as Bo Jack' when a nigga up to bat
I still will take the bus before I come runnin' back
Cause when it comes to that
(I wouldn't do it for anybody)
But I could do this all day like I'm Cap'
Remember when they used to say, "Dawg, you can't rap."
Or, "Gotta make gangsta music cause you black."
And I would say back (I wouldn't do it for anybody)
Take on E, but nigga he's still deliver
We just wanna see figures and one day be richer
Feelin' like O.J. make the trap say "Aye!"
Weight on my shoulders but my back won't break
One long look in the mirror, who do you do this fo'?
Winning been the mission but sometimes losing is beautiful
Like fake friends, or events, not a line for you
When the sun come back around, know it's gon' shine for you
I remember in school class you walked passed
The books fell out his book bag you just laughed
But who laughin' now
I make paper off the words, verbs, raps and nouns
And I hardly crack a smile
And when you blow they say they knew it all the long
So it seem but sewing seeds they just gotta grow
I meditate to Marvin Gaye and Ms. Nina Simone
To Jill Scott and Gil Scott Heron readin' the poem
Feelin' like Mike Jones
Cause back then they ain't want me now I'm hot they all can't leave me alone
Pack my bags bro I'm leavin' from home
My path is written in stone, I wouldn't do it for anybody
From the jump I'm the one, never been a copy
Drive crazy, sign your baby like Ricky Bobby
I've seen the highs and the lows, still it didn't stop me
I told 'em (I wouldn't do it for anybody)
Fake bitches always lookin' for a real one
When you lit, they be quick to get the deal done
Old niggas dressin' corny just to feel young
But uhhhh (I wouldn't do it, wouldn't do it for-)
