lyrics

This just the way it be I am the shit creatively
My fans are slayers cuz the way they put their stake in me
Y’all really skipping steps; trying to go from A-Z
.These rappers fake they ain’t as great as they all pay to be
Paying for likes, yikes, that’s worse than pay to play to me
Afraid to be a small fish when really it’s ok to be
I go from A-B and think I outside the box
it’s 187 on any beat that I choose to rock
Ive took some punches from this game- like I used to box
Excuses not my cup of tea and I dont front on views I got
Don’t believe the lies ;ike its news from fox
they wouldnt have as many streams without the views from bots
.writing checks and then they hope it clears
No pride inside about their music til they open beers
I see the scams and laugh don't greet them with an open ear
dream sellers, fellas Don’t be jealous of the smoke and mirrors

[hook]

Who gives a fuck about the next man
Quit comparing and focus on what you got
Its all smoke and mirrors anyway
What you thought it was is often what its not

Who gives a fuck about the next man
Quit comparing and focus on what you got
Its all smoke and mirrors anyway
What you thought it was is often what its not


[Verse 2]

You’d rather have a thousand views over a million fakes.cuz reals fans accumulate into the bills you make
I will debate, it takes skill and not the will of flakes
But will is key and longevity will build your base
So put your money up in the right place
and never be afraid to fight, destroy anything that you might face
You might find you’re in a tight space
don't drown that’s bound to happen in any dream that you might chase
(yea) so dont be afraid of embarrassment
Stare the fear in the face and then beat it like you a fucking cop
to keep it brief know The thief of joy is comparison
Its stupid overlooking the couple fans that you got
So fuck deceit it can only lead to defeat, check it
I will keep slaying until the day that I fucking rot
Lies ill see through, to thine self ill be true
This message is for me too, untiI get to the top

[Hook]

Who gives a fuck about the next man
Quit comparing and focus on what you got
Its all smoke and mirrors anyway
What you thought it was is often what its not


Who gives a fuck about the next man
Quit comparing and focus on what you got
Its all smoke and mirrors anyway
What you thought it was is often what its not
