My Opinion Lyrics
Bakes | from From the Ground Up (2021)
Written by Bakes · Produced by Isiah Salazar
Uh
Turn me up
Let me talk to them
From the depths of the shadows emerged a classic artist
With a chip on his shoulder and plus he raps the hardest
In an era where lies rule and facts are tarnished
I'm still aiming for the top because you know that's my target
I ain't scared to fall, I fly when I unlatch the harness
Trying to bring the light, sometimes you've gotta match the darkness
Y'all be looking like some jokers, always acting heartless
Really ain't nothing but some scarecrows, I'm about to harvest
Now you see where I'm coming from, let me jump into it
These new rappers just clout chasing, and speak it fluent
Keep it real, I'm not impressed with their little movement
Because they be more about amusement than making improvement
And it's proven that it's garbage what their fans consuming
Days of whack shit are coming to an end, it's looming
Perpetrators taking away from true talent that's blooming
And not to mention, they look like some type of altered human
But I ain't here to talk about their image or their gimmicks
These new rappers only mimic, y'all soft as linen
Y'all talk like women
Y'all not forgiven
Y'all just experts at how to gossip and not to listen
See, I came up on quality over quantity
Nowadays, it's switched since rap is such a commodity
People just be putting out mediocre monotony
And that's just how I feel, you should appreciate the honesty
And I understand the current sound and the fad
Crazy with social media, all the access we have
But just like with everything, comes good and the bad
For every artist that's dope, another 10 are just trash
And it's sad, how they're openly disrespecting the legends
As if they didn't open the platforms for expression
Waving all their weapons, just to make us feel their presence
And that's just off my impression, I don't know who you impressing
Because I know that actions speak louder than words
All that posting that they're doing's got them looking absurd
Always talking about nothing; this, that, and the third
Wishing they could take my lane, but they're stuck on the curb
I'm like "Word?" What's that show you in an era where it's microwaved
And they think they're dripping, when I'm about to make a tidal wave
Dopest one out, check the stats and what the title say
All these other rappers are lacking, that's all that I can say
Their career is more notable for its brevity
Me, I'm making classics and focused on my longevity
I don't hate on people, just criticize them respectfully
Because I don't feel the rap and the art should be taken separately
