XV - Lift The Game lyrics

Yeah, curtain close, throw your rose, The night is early, let's make a toast. The sales figures bring smiles to well wishers, bring frowns to frail n***as, The town is there with ya. The city say, "Remember when radio ain't give Vizzy play?" Now, they read the sh** I say like I was Earnest Hemingway. Funny how the square that could never really fit it, Got so many people riding, I don't know if they'll all fit in. They tell me move to New York like it's so fatal, Keep your plane ticket, I brought tow cables. I'm so able to prove 'em wrong, motherf**er, 'Cause the kid from Smallville goin' show all how I'm gonna go and… [Chorus] Lift this game up and bring it back to where I f**in' live, I'm a lift this game up and bring it back to where I f**in' live. 'Cause, I'm a be the one that put us on, motherf**er, Now get out the park, and bring this sh** home, motherf**er. We on, yeah. Tell my city we on, we on. So, I'm banging on a trashcan, drumming on a street light, 'Bout time I left here, everything don't seem right. Rocket packs are fully charged, the moon and stars that would be ours, Home is where you find your heart, and at this point, I'm up on Mars. Look where we were raised, look what mom was paid, Look at what they gave us, and look at what we made. So, when it comes to grind, you can't tell me a f**in' thing, When I've been making my whole city wait for the day I'm a… [Chorus] No acceptance speeches, I don't really need it, 'Cause I've never been accepted by the people who seek it. We try to make history, with hopes we get to see, The faces of the ones we knew, in school that used to teach it. Goodbye to nine-to-fives, hello 24/7's, In your first 15 minutes, you cannot waste a second. I came to make my presence. I'm a real rapper. The story of your life, to me, is just a little chapter. This for the ma**es, who cut cla**es, Not to sit on their a**es, but do our homework so we pa** it. Kids go to school through more seasons then Ashton, We just want to give ya, pick the road that's the fastest. We shoot rockets, plug sockets with foreign objects, Go this-a-way, and don't participate in trend and topics. It seems like being outside us was our only choice, So, I make sure I stay gold, ponyboy. Trying to be world stars, they push their views on us, But, we try to stay away from being what you want us. The streets get hotter than a June summer, But, don't tell me I should move n***a. 'Cause I'm a… 'Cause I'm a…
