Intro
(Cue the hater)
"See Maurice you've been doing this music thing a little while and it's not really going anywhere... why don't you just quit?"
Verse 1
Look, I don't know what that means
I move quiet through the streets
So never ever doubt me
I'm never faux, but I can switch up the flow
I'll never hold it against yah now you know
November '17 was when I started the dream
The End was the beginning of my destiny
Now my confidence on overflow
I sing it high and drop it low
You don't have to understand the plan
To know that I'm the man
I'm the man, I'm the man
It took a little while but now I finally understand
I know that I know
I'm my number one fan
I put my faith in God
Cause I know that he can
Pre-Chorus
All I know is that I need to stay in my lane
All this comparison and shhh is making me go insane
Cause what's for me is for me, what's for you is for you
But this is just my intro don't tell me what I can't do
Chorus
Do you (can't nobody do you better than you 'no no")
I'll do me (can't nobody do me better than me 'nah')
Do you, I'll do me
Don't worry bout anybody
See this is just my intro, don't tell me what I'm gon be
Verse 2
I'm just out here tryna make my momma proud
She sacrificed a lot so I want her to be well endowed
I'm just out here tryna wipe away all of my family's debts
Starting with my own change being smart with all my bets (breath)
And no you won't see me blowing it at the casino
I'm tryna be like Gary Vee (pass the pinot grigio ayyeeee)
I don't care if you think I'm lame
Cause my priority is focus, that's my only end game
I'm on my way, I will find the way, El Camino
I'm coming to a city near you, that's my dream goal
No support from you means that you're not, what I need
Trust imma be okay, hit the door. Godspeed!
<Pre-Chorus>
<Chorus>
Bridge
I can compare myself to you or keep it pushing
I'm gonna pick the latter, me is who I will be choosin'
Nah it ain't been easy for me but I make it smooth
Like MJ when he did that fancy walk up on the moon
Before I got I want to leave you with a little message
When you talk about others man you steady stop your blessings
And before you say this rapping isn't what you're here for
My name is DeMaur and I can always do more (hahaaaa)
<Chorus> <Outro Monologue>
