Everybody wanna be something

Be something, don't be nothing

Everybody gotta be something

Everybody gotta love somebody

Everybody gotta fuck somebody

Love somebody, don't fuck anybody

Everybody gotta be something

Look, it's like quiet as kept

I been the sickest for a sec

I never been pressed for all the cameras and the press

I'm not the type of guy that be wildin' for respect

I'd rather be wildin' for a check

I'm doing that now to manifest

I got my head right and it's blessed

The rap game like checkers and chess and tryna make a monopoly, I got a lot of mess but it's cool, imma test it

Got my choice root, I'm destined for greatness

Patience is cool, I had to learn that too

I had got kicked out of school like nigga fuck y'all rules

And them niggas that snitched on me, yea it's fuck y'all too

My momma hit a nigga phone like what the fuck y'all do? Nothing

I just finesse, I'll give 'em back all they little money

But everybody gotta juug somebody

Everybody gotta juug somebody, yea

Everybody gotta be something

Everybody wanna be something

Be something, don't be nothing

Everybody gotta be something

Everybody gotta love somebody

Everybody gotta fuck somebody

Love somebody, don't fuck anybody

Everybody gotta be something

They asked me what's my sound? I tell 'em nothing particular

I'm blowing this purple 'til I feel perpendicular

My flow crash like homicide vehicular

Leave a nigga's brain at the scene, sign for signature

Kicking rhymes as I'm flipping thru the pages of literature

Literally, I'm the shit

What you having for dinner?

Born to win but born a sinner

And that's word to Jermaine

Cold flow, Cole World, but we living the same

I was standing in the hall, we was listening to Dame

He was schooling some niggas, putting them up on some game

I'm ear hustling, hoping my niggas doing the same

Shit, that ain't same, my brain strain, combust into flames

He dropped gems bout life and getting up in the game or getting fucked in the game and how it's really kinda tough to complain when you can be what you want

It not really much to explain

So fuck that, hustle for cream and go for the dream

Everybody gotta be something

Everybody wanna be something

Be something, don't be nothing

Everybody gotta be something

Everybody gotta love somebody

Everybody gotta fuck somebody

Love somebody, don't fuck anybody

Everybody gotta be something
