GRATIFICATION - Intro Lyrics

I love when people are tryna tell me what's right cause they're insecure with their lives

Then tryna play it off as giving advice

I'm at a pace now where nothing is slowing down

The only times I'm going out is to do shit that's related to my momentum

Now I'm back it's never been a while I'm always active

Quality and quantity going way back to the old days tactics

One of the oldest practice

So go attach this quote to diplomas of those who went to school but still owe some taxes

And to the fans that's waiting pardon me

But I won't drop the album until the buzz is Wayne on Carter III

Or 02' Fifty, 09' Drake

These the albums I bump just for old time sake's

But now I'm focused on my own shits, focused on my own drop

Professor on Money Heist, yeah I'm focused on my own plot

This got that Tuscan Leather feel

Protected my middle so much, they starting call me centerfield

Tell the rap game to send the bill

Cause I'm ready to pay my dues

Even though I been paid them

Back in the days, my favorite rappers I would imitate them

When I discovered Jay, Em, Wayne, Nas and Kanye

Then, I put them all together

Greatest of my generation

So I don't give fuck about all the comparisons

Unless it's the names I just dropped

Otherwise it's irrelevant to plug your opinions in

But don't know shit about Hip Hop

While I'll be pointing fingers

Know who to blame when this shit stops

And a bunch of fake phony A&R's that think they're shit hot

When they don't even realize that the biggest songs are on TikTok

So they're lucky if they never bump into me again

And I'll make sure after this that they won't censor me again

I hear too much talking about

What the fuck I could do or should do from niggas who never stepped a foot in my shoes

Asking about the debut as if I get enough views

And that fear of dropping an album that land on def ears

So here the intro to this EP of like 2 or 3 tracks

And a hater's feedback

Nah nigga I won't seek that

Until the day they see that

I'm the one to reach at

Incredible songwriter, producer

I can't take the seat back

Until then I'm coming for blood cause I can't kick my feet back

No matter how many W's you can't take defeat back

Came a long way from IG DM's just to send a beat pack

Sending loops to producers that would never send a beat back

Hungry for more, angry for sure

You can hear it in my voice

Gratification to me would be just to fill my mom's void

Gratification to me would be my brother responding her texts

Told her it's probably because he wants you to bother him less

Gratification could be something that you never could see

For some it's keys

For some it's freedom

For some it's receipts

For some it's dreams they can't remember for the night before last

For some it's dreams that they wanna live before the pistol go (gunshot)

The misadventures of a nigga who can't keep pretending

Teeth are grinning cause you feel like you fumbled a sweet beginning

But ain't no need for cringing

I feel your pain cause I been through the same

Evaluating the who and what and why and the who's to blame

So fuck playing this stupid game

You better take control of everything you own cause you truly could use some change

And I know that at some point I'll get used to fame

Even though I'm unknown now

I know it's something that will soon be changed

So don't be scared to come to the house or ring up my phone

It hurt my heart when I learn that sometimes you're feeling alone

And even though you don't show it I know you're hearing my songs

So hopefully this message will reach to your speaker, headphones

And use laughing I miss

Your passion at this

Every now and then a happy birthday text and that's it

And I respect personal space don't wanna mess with that shit

I just know in the future we're gonna be laughing at this

Sincerely yours

A message from K...
