Just a Fan (For the Culture)

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah Gotta be honest with myself And wit' y'all too [Verse 1] Check I think Future made it cool to be a drug addict Well there you have it Can't even trust the children with the Aspirin in your cabinet It's appealing to the masses with a pill'll make you fathom I'm a fan though [Chorus] I'm just a fan, look I'm just a fan, really I'm just a, hey, look I'm just a fan I'm just a fan, look [Verse 2] I live to lit and give you words, you legit pick Snapple So you rather stick figures than the Sistine Chapel 95 percent crowd surfing Why they scream in the mic for the other five? They use it as a disguise Back then we used to clown niggas for bitin' and shit'll phase Now bitin' a nigga's style could get you a million plays No meaning in your pride Man, seein' this shit is bug like a mosquito in your eye I'm a fan though I'm just a fan, look I'm just a fan, look Six figures for stick figures by myself and it get ridiculed That's buying clothes just to wear them in the fitting room And labels gladly gettin' behind all this drug abuse shit To label us the users They love seein' us praise artists that won't enlighten us to essentially care My race survived slavery, the potential is there They don't want you to be bright minded, 'cause that's takin' money out of white pockets We could divide markets, but instead you untokin' your health Wit' that choker chain on, boy you chokin' yourself But that bag across your chest make you less of a man They been wantin' black people less masculine I'm just a fan And another thought in discussion, yeah You disrespectin' women just to become one [Chorus] I'm a fan, look I'm just a fan, look I'm just a fan, really I'm just a, hey, look I'm just a fan, look I'm just a fan, look [Interlude] I can't get jiggy wit' everything these niggas doin', like As a fan of the culture, I get times change, but that don't mean I gotta accept the change without giving my honest opinion It can't be turn up 24/7, 365, no way possible There's more to the culture than just that And I feel like hip-hop is supposed to connect, but Lately the connection has been affected and tainted Tarnished and covered in garden [Verse 3] Look, so Lil Uzi idolize Marilyn Manson I can't be silent to accept what everybody demanding Pickin' names out a hat and you okay wit' the random? Kill your dignity for marketing and callin' that branding? Who your companion, huh? This the industry that we in I got the balls to speak on to what I'm seeing 'Cause on the real I pictured this differently in my mind and I'm not beefin', I'm disagreein' wit' y'all So with all due respect, I'm takin' a knee 'cause it's harder to conversate with these people without 'em gettin' they panties all in a bunch, so it's always gonna make it seem like you hatin' I'll start makin' the tea, fuck it Whether you agree or disagree, a response made you agree Let that settle in petty man Harder to talk like a speech impediment, oh This convo up in the room is surely the elephant God didn't make it for one man to be extraordinary Y'all keep chasin' extra-ordinary I want longevity When I'm gone and buried, aim to be the same type of man that my daughter marry Yeah, it took my lifetime to make this album Your opinion formed in 10 minutes can't be valid, yeah And more duplicates can't be added, so what you lookin' for can't be talent [Chorus] I'm just a fan though I'm just a fan, I'm just a fan I'm just a fan, really Like, I'm just a fan, I'm just a fan I'm just a fan, really Like, I'm just a fan, I'm just a fan though I'm just a fan I'm just a fan though I'm just a fan, really [Outro] That's it, man
