Silhouettes lyrics

[Verse 1]
Shoutout to those who don't need luck
And thank you for sleeping on me that sh*t woke me up
f*ck checking the scoreboard you n*ggas know we up
Part ways like Hov and Dane that won't be us
Nah, I did 4 years big thanks to the DA
I was for real with the clips
And not them 3 n*ggas from VA
Carry heat for many seasons
Experience cold sweats from nightmares of that block
If anyone feel me then it's D-Wade
I'm absolutely brilliant these days
And at the same too real to appeal to these fakes
I mean sh*t, how many albums I gotta kill with these tapes
You know how many rap n*ggas' albums I used as Weed plates?
It's impossible for those like us to win sweepstakes
Like this dude came out from no where no hands up for Pete's sake
And when you kill the messenger there's no message to relay
God gave the gift I ran with it, relay
Whoa running sh*t till my f*cking feet ache
Be humble when's the last time they told us be great?
Would you rather be blinded by the money or broke with ambition
With enough focus to see straight
One eye open like CBS
I turn on CNN, what I see BS
Plus these cats with hands out cause they see he next
First they hate on your path try to repeat steps
But it's expected
[Bridge]
I never had my hand out n*gga nothing was expected
Nothing's a surprise when everything's expected
Who'd of thought he'd turn out way better than expected
I know this ain't what you expected

[Verse 2]
Lost sleep cause in prison them steel bars cold
Rapping through they yelling yo them bars cold
I'm rapping on tier now even the gods know
They like at some point your music should have a bar code
MOTF had one f*ck what y'all sold
Cause most of y'all gave y'all soul to sell what y'all sow
Lines above numbers still sticking to that bar code
The love I got for my city I swear only God knows
That crab in the bucket sh*t is crazy
Thoughts of a kamikaze wish we'd all blow
I bet that b*tch misery would love some company
I'm Hollywood cause they can't profit off my busts for free
And n*ggas I don't f*ck with paint pictures like they f*ck with me
Prospect it you think I ain't stay social I stay sucker free
Skin teflon still the sh*t I heard just cut me deep
Day one's throwing shade and that's what's up with me
Slept on so they'll be nice where I can't f*cking sleep
Being hungry for something that you can't f*cking eat
Sending emails and trying to give execs demos
I had to expand my drive like a stretch limo
6 souls on the left side of a decimal
Get rich or shift the odds I mean it's that simple
Those around me match my mind before they match my weed
True lies get in tune this sh*t a masterpiece
Young god kick this sh*t for those who lack belief
Some of these vets is really vets just putting cats to sleep
And leading dogs astray overlook the one like they ain't grow watching Hardaway
Doing everything the harder way overlook the son who clearly rose above all the shade
And rock nations, pardon Jay
Working harder than the people that's allowed to [?]
That Pac effort no sh*t close to 1000 records
Up all night high off shrooms I bet the eyes are jealous
Stress so much we the best I bet Cali jealous
[Outro]
You see but you can't see me that's a silhouette
You see that you can't see me that's a silhouette
That's how they shade us, a silhouette
Don't know what to expect that's a silhouette
That's a silhouette
You see but you can't see me that's a silhouette
Silhouette
You n*ggas can'r see me that's a silhouette
I know you n*ggas see me that's a silhouette
n*ggas can't see me that's a silhouette
That's how they shade that's a silhouette
That's a silhouette
(Let me hear that real quick)
