jahshua smith – give it up for me lyrics
(intro)
one take, all i need is one take
(verse 1)
as the curtain close, they can say what they wanna say
they can roll back the footage and see i did it the honest way
but i’m still prima-dona j, riding by on the highest horse
critics say that my lane has changed but its nothing, they lies of course
they expect me to rhyme for sport, pour my soul out when i record
got the saints and the sinners, scholars and k!llers on one accord
so i guess i should thank the lord while i’m dodging the hate on board
but that fire that burns inside i suggest i should thank it more
thank him for my m-n-script, and a world with no strings attached
you can pray for the time you lost but the words ain’t gon’ bring them back
meaning that, ain’t no valid reason
that i should serve to please another hoping they believe in that
once again it’s me and rat in the stew where my best friends are cynics too
but the lions and tigers recognize we the flyest that’s in the zoo
and ain’t sh-t changed but the name, but the name ain’t the focus
so when its all said and done just remember what a first-place flow is
(hook)
at the end of the day, there really ain’t much for me
and all my real folks know, that’s why they show love for me
give it up for me, give it up for me
need a round of applause, one time, give it up for me
take a list of regrets, roll it up with weed
take a puff, puff, p-ss, one time, burn it up for me
give it up for me, give it up for me
need a standing ovation, one time, give it up for me
(verse 2)
necklace red, black, and green be the colors around my chest
with the mental of martin luther and the p-ssion of malcolm x
keep the change, flip it, give me martin’s heart and malcolm’s brain
then the content i rock with on every topic be more insane
yeah, this is more than change,but they say that i’ve gone estrange
and my content ain’t consciousness so my conscience is bore with chains
and these well-wishing, say they love you type of n-ggas is buggin’ me
backstabbers come at me as they sharpen their cutlery, d-mn!
(bridge)
just like my mentor, i could part through the sea
and i could have my faith, but the critics still come for me
give it up for me, give it up for me
give it up for me
(verse 3)
uh, this is for yall featherweight-dreamers, bunch of underachievers
on stage on the best day know they can’t see us so they gotta gossip like skeezers
cause they see a threat when the troops come out
that we k!ll them shows and the proof come out
that the truth come out, and the judas hop out
and the b-tch underneath that dude jump out
show love but that’s hardly though
only as far as my army goes
everyone else, they can cease and desist slow
and stay nameless yo
keep your good friends close, new enemies closer
see you reach that closure, then your dreams stay closer
and you don’t give a f-ck who oppose ya
(hook)
cause at the end of the day, it don’t mean much to me
as long as they feel me and my team live comfortably
give it up for me, give it up for me
tell my squad take a bow, as the fans give it up for me
remember back in ’05, it was really just us and steve
can’t rewrite scripts, in the end this is all i need
give it up for me, give it up for me
no encores here, curtain call one time for me
