Red Carpet (One Take)

I'ma talk my shit, put the red carpet down cause I belong I'ma walk down that shit, play that beat and I'ma rap on that shit tell me why all these rappers are all straight crazy out of wack, I'm not in that category get me the fuck of out that Why these rappers act crazy, completely off-track? Every bar that they spit got me wanting it back, I'm not in that category, don't put me with that— Get me the fuck out the box, I don't belong in the pack. I'm a problem with syllables, rhythm and timing, Every line interlocking, the rhyme scheme's climbing, While they're reaching for relevance, mine keeps arriving, I don't chase competition—competition chases me I came with a pen like a blade made of language, Turn a basic little phrase to a lyrical maze, Got 'em studying every sentence, every twist, every cadence, Try to copy the formula—still can't recreate it. I'm talking big shit 'cause I got something to prove, Put a beat underneath me, watch me switch up the groove, They can question my ability, I'll give 'em the truth: You can doubt me all day—I'ma show you the proof. Red carpet rolled out, better clear me a lane, I'ma step on the stage and put a spark in the game, They keep saying I'm average—I'ma sharpen my name, Then I'll carve it in the wall where they remember the name. I don't need your approval, I don't beg for a crown, I built mine from the bottom, now I'm taking it now, If you thought I couldn't rap, better listen around— 'Cause I'm done asking permission. I'm taking that Grammy Now I'm back accelerating the pace, Put a beat in my path, I'm erasing the space, Every syllable's stacked, got 'em chasing the cadence, While they're stuck in the past, I'm advancing the placement. I came here to shake up the whole damn equation, Turn doubt into fuel, turn the hate into greatness, They can laugh at my name, but remember this statement: I don't need to fit in—I was built to break placement.
