I.O.U.

[Verse 1] Yeah, levitatin' off the blacktop Used to struggle getting started now, I can't stop Used to be the quiet kid in the sandbox Now it's “Hands up” every time that your man rocks You oughta stop me coming in again You mad? You thought we were synonyms? Too bad, that's the water you're gettin' in You're too fat for the sharks that you're swimming in From where I'm sitting, contenders are lookin' Like fruit spinnin' around in a blender Hardly a snack when I'm here lookin' for dinner I eat 'em, delete 'em, they're barely beginners Main course is my main sport Play major, but Minor's my main Fort Put a chain around everything I came for Look, but don't touch, sucker Tell 'em take an I.O.U [Chorus] Say they want respect now Thinking they deserve to have it next now Tell 'em take an I.O.U Believing what they're makin' up Talking loud, but never really sayin' much Tell 'em take an I.O.U I been drawin' plans out And they think I'm givin' them a handout Tell 'em take an I.O.U Thinking they're entitled to a piece, no, I don't think so Tell 'em take an I.O.U [Verse 2] Levitatin' in the blackout Used to drink at least a forty 'fore we mashed out Used to think that workin' forty was a max-out Now I'm workin' even when I'm sleepin', do the math now 'Cause even when I'm sleepin', eyes keep 'em open Stripe across 'em both the color of your hemoglobin A huge act man like I'm known for being Logan X-23 I’m keen to leave 'em with a femur broken Takin' it too far, maybe Friends like “Mike, I don't know who you are lately” But pride and hate has made naysayers mistake me For wasting brain space on ratings they gave me I don't need your respect, I got history I'm ‘81 Reagan with that nonsense, miss me Father like Francis, Anakin or John Misty Not to be touched, sucker Tell 'em take an I.O.U [Chorus] Say they want respect now Thinking they deserve to have it next now Tell 'em take an I.O.U Believing what they're makin' up Talking loud but never really sayin' much Tell 'em take an I.O.U I been drawin' plans out And they think I'm givin' them a handout Tell 'em take an I.O.U Thinking they're entitled to a piece, no, I don't think so Tell 'em take an I.O.U
