Standing Ovation (Live at NPR Tiny Desk, 2024)

[Intro]

So what we going to do today

If you've been ride with me since day one

I'm just take y'all on the journey

So y'all can see how I got from there to here

To Tiny Desk

I used to stand on a tiny porch

But if you stick with your dreams

And you stay about your business

You can get anywhere, you know

Y'all ready?

Y'all ready?

[Verse 1]

Straight drop this and ziplock that

Right on my waistline is where I kept that strap

Look, I remember nights, I didn't remember nights

I damn near went crazy, had to get it right (yeah)

Now I'm ya favorite rapper's favorite rapper (wassup)

Favorite trapper's favorite trapper

The absolute truth, yeah I'm no joke

Who me, I emerged from the crack smoke

In the hearts of those who grind with O's

They feel my pain, they at my shows

That's why I got this glass pot and this triple beam

I tell 'em money talks like Charlie Sheen

[Chorus]

These are more than words, this is more than rap

This is the streets and I am the trap

Standing ovation

These are more than words, this is more than rap

This is the streets and I am the trap (wassup)

Standing ovation

[Verse 2]

Look, once upon a time, I used to grind all night

With that residue, that was iPod white (yeah)

I'm a boss, I got Juice like the magazine

And everyday I see Feds like a magazine

Psychopathic wordplay, schizophrenic flow

I guess it's safe to say I got schizophrenic dough

Look, fuck bad bitches, smoke big blunts

Who am I to tell ya different? Ya only live once

All I blow is kush, yeah, that Cali bud

Got cali love when I got that Cali Plug

My Spanish chick in L.A., yeah I owe her one

Now them squares seventeen like Uncle Grady's son

[Chorus]

These are more than words, this is more than rap

This is the streets and I am the trap (okay, look)

Standing ovation (yeah)

Standing ovation

These are more than words, this is more than rap

This is the streets and I am the trap (okay, hehehe)

Standing ovation
