Background

[Intro]

Yo, ayy!

Hahaha hahahaha! (Haha)

Yeah!, how we doin', Rose?

We doin' great, we doin' great! (Yeah!)

Haha, yeah! (Yeah!)

Ayy

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy!

[Hook: SonofaRose & Alec May]

I was just another guy in the background

I don't wanna be that guy in the background

Took a long ass break for the right sound

Now I'm hearing gunshots in the background

I was just another guy in the background (Ayy!)

I don't wanna be that guy in the background (Ayy!)

Took a long ass break for the right sound

Now I'm hearing gunshots in the background (In the background!)

[Verse 1: SonofaRose]

All you lil' fuckers want a piece of me (want a piece of me!)

Fuckin' on a bitch and now she's fuckin' leaving me (fucking leaving me!)

But I cannot give a shit because I'm feelin' me

I really wanna do this shit without having to leave this shit (goddamn)

Constantly losin' all of my remorse (remorse)

Feeling unstoppable with every verse (every verse)

You cannot do this shit, this shit's a curse (it's a curse, yeah)

So leave this to me, I'll continue my birth (My birth)

Continue everything that I have ever wanted (whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)

I just felt a presence and I made myself so brokenhearted (Ay!)

Why did everything come crashing down, I felt it was so solid?

Everything you said was liquid, nothing said was the truth (Ayy!)

Everybody 'round me on the same shit (on the same shit)

Can I get a play on Spotify and makin' millions? (makin' millions!)

I was depressed, killing this shit

Now all these bitches wanna make my drip (My drip!)

[Hook: SonofaRose & Alec May]

I was just another guy in the background

I don't wanna be that guy in the background

Took a long ass break for the right sound

Now I'm hearing gunshots in the background

I was just another guy in the background (Ayy!)

I don't wanna be that guy in the background (Ayy!)

Took a long ass break for the right sound

Now I'm hearing gunshots in the background (In the background!)

[Verse 2: Alec May]

Always in the background, no one really paid attention, yeah

And I was just an outcast, no one wanted the connection

Some affection was the only thing that I had truly longed for (yeah)

But I would always sit alone at parties 'til I put my hands in fire! (uh!)

Yeah, I need the right sound (right sound)

I need a pen and paper, got shit need to write down (write down)

No time to clown around, I'm tryna hit the ground runnin'

Got some music gotta make, I can't afford to drown!

Fuckers tryna call me friends, they forget they're the ones who ran

I had a lot of shit occurring, they didn't wanna help me mend (hey, hey!)

And now they tryna come around and leading me on with their bullshit

"Alec, you can count on me!" I call that fucking bullshit!

Stuck in my depression, struggling to find a way out

And now I'm putting words together, getting to where I've been hurting

I'm a motherfucking wordsmith and I'm crafting godly verses

I'm a master with my words and that's exactly what I'm fucking cursed with! (Hey!)

[Hook: SonofaRose & Alec May]

I was just another guy in the background

I don't wanna be that guy in the background

Took a long ass break for the right sound

Now I'm hearing gunshots in the background

I was just another guy in the background (Ayy!)

I don't wanna be that guy in the background (Ayy!)

Took a long ass break for the right sound

Now I'm hearing gunshots in the background (In the background!)

[Outro]

Rose! I'm sick of bein' in the background

So sick, so sick (yeah)

So sick, so sick, so sick, ay

Yeah (ay, ay, ay, ay)

Yeah (ay, ay, ay)

Uh, bitch
