Lyrics
[Chorus] Keep the plaque, keep the plays, I just wanna rap. Keep the merch, keep the link, I don’t want the bag. (I’m not chasing that.) Keep the profit in your pocket, I am left in good standing. I came emptyhanded, I can leave the same way laughing. (I don’t need a thing from you,) (I just want you listening.) (I don’t need a thing from you,) (I just want you with me.) [Bridge] Yeah yeah yeah, okay. [Verse] Thought I was at the end game, here goes an N G Plus I leveled up, still somehow I never spend enough I stepped it up, fuck around and get messed up You've said enough, I get fed up and self destruct (Boom) Uh, Every room I walk into is tense as fuck Uh, Everybody tryna sell me somethin', dress it up Uh, Industry'll shake your hand and try collect your blood Like Rudy cloning Rex convinced it'd fix him up. Everybody got a course and some subscriber stuff Thirty-second motivation clips and crypto funds Acting like a millionaire from one influencer lunch I still buy my liquor based on what is cheapest, bruh [Refrain] (You don’t owe a thing to me,) (I just want you with me.) [Verse 2] Ain't a linktree in my bio with a hundred doors Ain't a tier list where I charge you just to want it more Ain't a mugshot on a mug or a sponsored tour Ain't a discount code for shit I couldn't quite afford Uh, [Halftime] Everybody's got a funnel now, I get it though Everybody's got to eat, I ain't cynical. But I've seen what it does when it gets clinical. You start pricing up your pain by the interval. [Speaking] And I don't want that. I still write broke with the lights on Still rap like the rent due twice, huh? Still got jokes when the night long Still here, still weird, still Rae with my mic off [Refrain] Keep the plaque, keep the plays, I just wanna rap. Keep the profit in your pocket, I am left in good standing. (I don’t need a thing from you,) (I just want you listening.) [Verse 3] I seen a prayer turn to paperwork when the rent was due A holy man taking payments in a rented suit They sell a flood as a venue with a better view Then call it oceanfront the second that it gets to you Uh, I seen the end get a slogan and velvet rope A little gift shop where the river used to go Lease is up, smile wide, take another breath They sold the wreck back to us what a beautiful death I been talking to myself till the walls got sick of it Half of me is over it, half still lives in it Sider by the speaker like, “when did she get this sick?” I’d answer but I’m pretty sure I’m busy doing it I don’t need a label with a budget and a business lunch I don’t need a halo if they charge me when the kingdom comes I don’t need the bag, I need the room to lean in just enough I do this for people to listen, not to lift me up Put the coppers on my eyes if I ever switch it up If I die in good standing, let it mean I gave enough If I go, I hope I leave more than I took from us If you came in emptyhanded, then you gave enough. [Chorus] Keep the plaque, keep the plays, I just wanna rap. Keep the merch, keep the link, I don’t want the bag. (I was never chasing that.) Keep the profit in your pocket, I am left in good standing. I came emptyhanded, I can leave the same way laughing. (You don’t owe a thing to me,) (I just want you listening.) (You don’t owe a thing to me,) (I just want you with me.) [Outro] Keep the profit in your pocket, I am left in good standing. If you came in emptyhanded, Then you gave enough.
