[01:19.350]Got the labels calling you
[01:20.723]They fly you out to talk to you, lowballing you
[01:22.974]And kinda still doubt if they could market you
[01:25.089]Turn it down and show 'em that your number was unarguable
[01:27.889]And when they double back, you charge 'em triple what they offered you
[01:30.899]This how you rap

[01:45.563]Had 'em dodging features with me, when my album drop, they ducking
[01:48.413]I do press runs, they get quiet, around that time I don't hear nothing
[01:51.188]When they drop, I'm in they city, I'm outside like I been hunting
[01:54.056]Boss shit, investing my own paper now like, "**** it"
[01:56.989]Built another source of income 'cause rap alone won't cut it
[01:59.784]Don't leave no money on the table, let's meet and discuss the budget
[02:02.681]If they let me go today, my own career, I could fund it
[02:05.528]How they gon' weigh out your legacy? How the critics gon' judge it?
[02:08.378]Is your chapter gon' be legendary status when they shut it (Huh?)
[02:11.604]Some word delivery, add in some versatility
[02:14.237]Double your workability
[02:15.605]And now you know how to be a rapper
[02:16.639]Remember standing on that block
