A Capella

verse 1 I'm out to be the best me that I can be Workin' on my craft day in and out You know that's what I'm about No, I'm not aiming to become famous I just wanna play and sing this The only competition I see is myself I gotta tunnel vision kinda like a telescope And I'm lookin at, and I'm picking at Everything that I could do to become better I see a lot of people, I hear a lot of things They're talking about diamond rings, money things I guess that happens when you hit the top Become unsatisfied with everything that you already got You say it's all about the music But mess around with girls who do it Yah you lie to your fans I'm singing from my shadow you can call that shade My verse is straight and my flow is hard I paint my songs like a work of art I never grew up listening to other stuff You can say I'm kinda different, maybe just a bluff But let me tell you I am hundred percent reality Authentic I ain't dancing in a fantasy, no Only sea that I'll be dancing in Is a sea of fans in a sold out MSG Maybe a year or two, maybe a year or three It doesn't phase me honestly Even if I don't make it by then I'll still be doing shows, so I make it in the end, yeah And if you think I'm irrelevant Well then I must be relevant 'Cause you took the time to listen to my song That I wrote on my bed in my bedroom Chorus I don't sing for a backtrack I write songs in my snapback I don't care what they say Keepin' it real, kinda like an a capella I don't hook up with strangers I've got class and respect I don't care what they say Keepin' it real, kinda like an a capella Hook A capella, a-a capella A capella, a-a capella A capella, a-a capella Keepin' it real, kinda like an a capella verse 2 Sometimes I need to focus on myself and what I need Sometimes I feel like my mind is on it's own kind of speed But I guess its the way that it goes when you try to write like a beast This is my feast Don't ever classify me as a rapper I spit a little bit and I can talk fast but that's it I ain't about the gold chains, ain't about the fake girls Ain't about the high life, ain't about the money See, my lyrics are different They come alive the minute I start to sing them I would say that I put my soul all up in them But I am a ginger, you know how that goes My world comes together the moment My pen hits the paper like im a jail breaker But I have commited, no crime to be charged for You see me in bars but don't know what I stand for Chorus I don't sing for a backtrack I write songs in my snapback I don't care what they say Keepin' it real, kinda like an a capella I don't hook up with strangers I've got class and respect I don't care what they say Keepin' it real, kinda like an a capella Hook A capella, a-a capella A capella, a-a capella A capella, a-a capella Keepin' it real, kinda like an a capella wait! verse 3 My finger's bleed when I pluck strings I was never raised to play this guitar with a pick thing At times people say I sound British when I say things When I say things, say things Now they're coming to me asking if I wanna be the next big thing I'm the next best thing, buddy You better get your facts straight, uh I don't need a record label to show them my talent great 'cause If the people like it then the people buy it Why would I wanna hire another writer to take it higher? Foolish like the gold that you place in my hands That's fool's gold and I'm not fooled by this fame game This twitter game, it's so lame Cause I'm verified on the inside Don't need a blue check to be satisfied, uh Instrumental E (x2) Bridge Break strings when I play this Take names when I play this, take notes when I play this Break strings when I play this Take names when I play this, take notes when I play this Break strings when I play this Take names when I play this, take notes when I play this Break strings when I play this Take names when I play this, take notes when I play this You already know Chorus I don't sing for a backtrack I write songs in my snapback I don't care what they say Keepin' it real, kinda like an a capella I don't hook up with strangers I've got class and respect And I don't care what they say And I don't care what they say 'Cause I'm keepin' it real Keepin' it real, kinda like an a capella
