oddisee - had to improve lyrics

[verse 1]
imagine i’m not even famous, but i’m still considered a man who has made it
’cause where i’m from, badmans don’t make it like anything stood in our neighborhood—face it
believin’ in magic debated, but me as a favorite how else you explain it?
the only comparisons near my greatness is sellin’ out stadium stages
i tour other nations, my schedule look like invasions, i get invitations
to come and do business wit’ natives, and tradin’ ’em music for money is basic
tryna walk in my steps, you have better chance of seein’ a sp+ceship
i set up a base at any location, leave, and then i just rake in
bag it up, sendin’ receipts, then i harass ’em—where is my payment?
you think ’cause i’m in the states, i won’t hop a flight and see you get faded?
i let the streets invest in the blocks—wherever i be is chained in
corn in the phrase, bet; i put the t in truth—taste in
without the tee, i’m ruth—babe it

[chorus]
no braggin’, i’m who? (him)
you gotta produce (chips)
one thing to survive, another to thrive
i’m really the proof
i’m really the proof
i had to improve
i had to improve
you lackin’, you lose
no braggin’, i’m who? (him)
you gotta produce (chips)
one thing to survive, another to thrive
i’m really the proof
i’m really the proof
i had to improve
[verse 2]
went on a run—i’m joggin’ on tour, healthy, seein’ the globe
the world in my palms, i shop in milan—these garms you see in a post
i come from sudan—the land of the blacks is strong but in need of hope
a war goin’ on with factions, sellin’ our soul to putin for gold
my father was right in the action, feedin’ the masses—he is the goat
he said if we could outlast ’em, we could surpass ’em—seein’ a goal
he gettin’ old—i ask him, wit’ all the clashin’, how would he cope?
he laughed and told me allah the one with the answers—how would he know?
believin’ in how you get fed wit’ nutn to eat—it’s not on stove
you gotta go ‘head, ’cause time ain’t sutn to keep—there’s nothin’ to hold
you start wit’ a dream until you believe that what you can heed is so
and when it get real, prepare for people to you it’s merely a hoax
you lackin’, you lose
