Applause

[Verse 1] I might not work the hardest, I might not be the best But where's my applause, I deserve nothing less But I feel I'm working harder, better than the rest I'm the king amongst pawns and I ain't talking chess Life isn't a game, so I don't play around Didn't say it back then but I believe it now I deserve an applause for all my words, verbs, nouns and vowels Life isn't fair, you gotta watch out for the fouls Cause it could be worse Like the rap technique I used on the raps I wrote first Fresh to death, with candy paint on the hearse Head's in the clouds, on the top I'm perched And I'm not coming down, unless you shoot me down And I keep escalating, so you gotta shoot me now Or else you'll never reach me, this ain't my proving ground I'm on the ground once the air starts moving down [Hook] Where's my applause, for everything I've done From the things I've lost, to the things I've won For everything I do, and everything I don't For the fact I can't stop, and that I won't For the good and the bad I have caused I think I deserve an Applause [Verse 2] And I keep flowin' because there's nothin' to it Cause I said I deserve an applause and I'mma prove it I'll prove it doing the opposite of losing Yeah I'll keep shining, the opposite of losers Yeah I'll keep beaming, just like a Laser I'm providing food for thought, you can get the waiter And I'm balling more than the LA Lakers The game is mine, and I'm a fuckin' Taker And I won't be giving it back Until all the critics can cut me some slack With my word of mouth, I'm killing all the plaque I really think that I deserve some plaques For what I'm doing, for what I'm writing For what I'm spitting, for what I'm rhyming Cause I keep it truthful, I'm not lying When I say I stand tall, never lying For the good and the bad I have caused I think I deserve an Applause [Verse 3] Sound of applause, I deserve every decibel I'm 24 karat gold, I'm really real I'm a fire flame Fiasco, but I Chilly chill Not a murderer but on the track, I kill So lock me up then I'll escape Like I'm free today and locked up yesterday But I wasn't, I stay away from prison bars But I'm a killer, cause I be killing bars Can’t stop now, I've gone so far Tony Montana, but without the scar Because I feel that the world is mine To receive applause, I am inclined I'm just tryna make it, not even signed Dreams don't come true, miracles happen, keep that in mind [Hook]
