blackback - twenty eighteen lyrics

[intro]
it’s been a h-lluva year, yeah
blackback let’s get right to it

[verse 1]
twenty eighteen
new on the scene
calling me green, i agree
still doing features for free
do something new
and these rappers could claim
“hey, he biting off me”
but i can’t give a sheesh
i’ll learn the lessons they teach
so get on that soapbox and preach
‘cuz when i get big
y’all know that you can’t compete
playing some catch up on me
year of the dog i’m unleashing a beast
war in the fog and your fans discovering me
papuan breed, pedigree clean
wasted and wrote this but this still is potent
i’ve put y’all on notice, this my year
played it and made it by ear
rappers my age getting weird
got them in sight like a deer
shaking my peers
got them realising their fears
strip back veneers
like you ain’t that talented
you’ve just been mirroring
those who’ve inspired careers
i’m sorry i’m real

[hook]
twenty eighteen
my time to shine
these rappers lean
while i’m on my grind
up and awake
while they been asleep
i got some dreams
that i need to achieve

[verse 2]
ugh, i got these rappers all peeved
under their skin like a needle
blue on my blood when i bleed ‘cuz i’m regal
start a storm with the crew made it rain when i meet ’em
new orleans with the rain
i’m on pursuit in the game
chasing a headliner, check, and respect when i play
might be a baby for now but put some respect on my name
i want some respect on my name
those who knew goody two shoes they wanted me tame
those who knew that i get loose know i can’t be caged
yeah, they wanted me spayed, but let’s call a spade a spade
i ain’t no b-tch i’m trynna get paid
dog eat dog world and i’m taking these rappers today
ugh, yeah swerve in their lanes
my time is expensive got diamonds on jane
shoot for the stars
shoot for the moon
not a shot or a minute to waste

[hook]
twenty eighteen
my time to shine
these rappers lean
while i’m on my grind
up and awake
while they been asleep
i got some dreams
that i need to achieve

[verse 3]
i got my foot out the door
i’m out here just p-ssing the go
collecting two hundred advancing
i’m going for broke
pensive in thinking how i’ll break the mold
out here in twenty eighteen
i think i’ll jump in the scene
itching to put pen to sheets
i’m hungry they should let me eat
i’mma take it myself and just blame it on greed

[outro]
yeah, it’s been a h-lluva year for me
yeah, blackback let’s get it
