about
Lots of rappers (both underground & mainstream) have these delusions of grandeur and false senses of entitlement. This one's for you ;)
lyrics
[Verse 1]
A lot of rappers say that they're the shit, but they're not, man
A lot of fancy enhancements, god damn
They're not a hit, but they get their business on brand
Then they get the listeners "I can't quit, I got fans!"
Who though? It ain't nobody you know
And can't nobody boo over kudos to you folks, too slow
It ain't a loophole, you all know it's true though
Lower your expectations
You go to work after ain't nobody heard that
And ain't nobody yearn for you rapping any words, sad
And worried cuz you're sure that a rapper spitting verses as
Perfect as you have is deserving of a sure path
It's the entitlement and attitude
Like everybody gotta pat you on the back
But alas, you're a hack and youre wack so you have to
Lower your expectations
[Bridge]
You dream of fans who're insane and bump you as they pay for stuff
And live it up like theyre ballers on the weekend
But instead of a whole bunch, you've got no one
Slow the dreaming to one fan, its over, you woke up
[Chorus]
Now you might think that this guy (girl) only exists in your mind
Guess what? You're right
So if you thinking that you're all alone
And ain't nobody want a song with your vocals on it
And you know you're focused but a hopeless soul
Guess what? You're right
[Verse 2]
This year is the year you make it right?
It's not last year, that year was anybody
But the year before that you said everybody's
Gonna know your hobby by today, yeah right
Realize that to make your buck
It's gonna take work and patience on top of luck
And it aint too common so you gotta fucking
Lower your expectations
And do it for the fun, fucking do it for the art form
Do it cuz you love it, not because you want the props for it
It seems the passion is lost in a locked drawer
Because every act, all they ever wants a hot story
They got delusions of grandeur
They wanting all the loot handed to em, dammit
Doing a dance with your jam doesn't guarantee a fan, better
Lower your expectations

genres. His work showcases a sound between raw hip-hop and the most technical metal outfits.
