Yeah listen

I don’t think you really want to beef
Cause as it stands right now we don’t talk for free
Can’t reply to my voice when it speaks
As it stands right now we don’t talk for free
I don’t think you really want to beef
Cause as it stands right now we don’t talk for free
Can’t reply to my voice when it speaks
As it stands right now we don’t talk for free

I’m getting sick of it all
Another night
Going to play out to a luck warm response
To a well written song
They got my name wrong when I came on
They all applauded when I got off
But it wasn’t for an encore
And last month I made a video for YouTube
Last time I hit refresh
It seemed to have less views
I’m confused
Now what the fuck am I supposed to do
Kill myself
I’m hoping that reincarnation’s true
I hope my last cheque can get me through
My last rap gig paid me in booze
I got kicked out of the post office
These days streams don’t pay much
Is what I tell myself after I see these bills pile up
To my friends I posted my next release online
Instead of liking it they replied to keep my chin up
My material will never be flashy rap
Cause you don’t sell out
Huh I’m trying but I can’t

I don’t think you really want to beef
Cause as it stands right now we don’t talk for free
Can’t reply to my voice when it speaks
As it stands right now we don’t talk for free
I don’t think you really want to beef
Cause as it stands right now we don’t talk for free
Can’t reply to my voice when it speaks
As it stands right now we don’t talk for free

Imagine rappers and promoters had the same persona
So I just shouted out exposure exposure over and over
It’s good for your track mate
We’ll pay you at the bar eh
You all look like alcays anyway
There’s a tab laid
Guess talk is cheap
Or at most times free when I check receipts
You think we do it or the love of the scene
But invested too much to withdraw at this peak
A peak no
A bottom
A low
A trough
Nadeer
A nothing to show
Though still show to shows
Guess it shows I’m not showing off
Showmanship was solely subtle placed in a little box
Like a penny jar
With no pennies in it
More an overdraft
In my book of writtens
I guess I’m saving up a lot of hope
At least my spirit isn’t broke

I don’t think you really want to beef
Cause as it stands right now we don’t talk for free
Can’t reply to my voice when it speaks
As it stands right now we don’t talk for free
I don’t think you really want to beef
Cause as it stands right now we don’t talk for free
Can’t reply to my voice when it speaks
As it stands right now we don’t talk for free
