departure (rap) - unqualified lyrics
[chorus:]
r+r+raise a glass of root beer
raise your hands
r+r+raise your mind if you’re tryna be a man
just g+g+get up and dance
g+g+get up and dance
g+g+get up and dance
just g+g+get up and dance
raise a glass of root beer
raise your hands
r+r+raise your mind if you’re tryna be a man
just g+g+get up and dance
g+g+get up and dance
g+g+get up and dance
g+g+get up and dance (uh)
[verse 1:]
if all the poets vanished tonight, tell me if i’d be missed tomorrow
or pretend to be a plumber, a promise that’s never followed
just like the visions of a prospect going to agricultural college
f+ck that, i’d rather become a scholar in ethno+music knowledge
play this back in a decade, see if i’m right
see if you have to say the prefix before departure, day & night
i’ll make it cool to be a doctor before the venomous villain died
hold my cultural significance as the lightning strikes in the dead of night
birds sing in the sound of silence
of the peeps from mice & men
hiding in the christmas chimney
britney or aries spears (hit me!)
i fall in love with every girl i’ve ever walked with
but i’ve not got a lot of money in my pocket
and historically i have been controversial
so my career will make all my friends end up on a wathchlist
i wanna spend my life with you before i do it all again
but i’ll just end up using tinder anyways, i got some shame
[chorus]
r+r+raise a glass of root beer
raise your hands
r+r+raise your mind if you’re tryna be a man
just g+g+get up and dance (r+r+respect my qualifiers)
g+g+get up and dance (respect my qualifiers)
g+g+get up and dance (respect my qualifiers)
just g+g+get up and dance (respect my, respect my)
raise a glass of root beer
raise your hands
r+r+raise your mind if you’re tryna be a man
just g+g+get up and dance (r+r+respect my qualifiers)
g+g+get up and dance (respect my qualifiers)
g+g+get up and dance (respect my qualifiers)
g+g+get up and dance (respect my, respect my)
[verse 2:]
you wanna talk about white ignorance?
i asked my mom for a bonnet and she bought me a kufi
but i could wear that sh+t, not look nearly as half as goofy
as another white rapper trying to school me on schoolly d
my rhyme book is the holy bible
i do it better than your favorites, i don’t even need a title
your friends are yes men, you ain’t never had them “remember when” talks
the whole purpose served is never meant
i could run my third trimester & never sweat
climb up the windows of my schools in my dreams like a predator, yes
my talent is specular, fighting signs & lion hordes with
mighty guys & giant swords while deciphering my metaphors
i’m k!lling all my competitors, i’m
the primogenitor for funky neurodivergent rappers
struggling at a younger age to open softly a candy wrapper
my presence leaves a rattling from the crackers
who claim to leave their lane but forget talent as a factor
what a bunch of whippersnappers
[chorus]
raise a glass of root beer
raise your hands
r+r+raise your mind if you’re tryna be a man
just g+g+get up and dance (r+r+respect my qualifiers)
g+g+get up and dance (respect my qualifiers)
g+g+get up and dance (respect my qualifiers)
just g+g+get up and dance (respect my, respect my)
r+r+raise a glass of root beer
r+r+raise your hands
r+r+raise your mind if you’re tryna be a man
just g+g+get up and dance (r+r+respect my qualifiers)
g+g+get up and dance (respect my qualifiers)
g+g+get up and dance (respect my qualifiers)
g+g+get up and dance (respect my, respect my)
raise your hands
r+r+raise your mind if you’re tryna be a man
just g+g+get up and dance (r+r+r, r+r+r)
g+g+get up and dance (r+r+r, r+r+r)
g+g+get up and dance (r+r+r, respect my qualifiers)
just g+g+get up and dance (respect my, respect my)
r+r+aise a glass of root beer
r+r+raise your hands
r+r+raise your mind if you’re tryna be a man
just g+g+get up and dance (r+r+r, r+r+r)
g+g+get up and dance (r+r+r, r+r+r)
g+g+get up and dance (r+r+r, respect my qualifiers)
g+g+get up and dance (respect my, respect my)
