Lyrics

Mayor

[Verse 1]

I was that little rapper at the party no one ever after

But I was a natural, that’s my first chapter

You was the worst rapper, I was the best rapper

Since I could remember though

Then I met one with a better flow

Never wrote

Better than that day I never let that go

Gotta get that dough

Nah, Wik too intellectual

Had to slow it down

Let y’all know how I roll around

See, I seemed to glow and pound

At any fist seen holding out

You know I'm 'bout what I wrote about

Trust me, you’re knowing that

When you see my face on stage quoting that

I’m going back to Lees and Clyde’s

I seize the night

What I speak, I write

I need it like, you need it like

Like we need it right?

[Chorus]

Don't do it for top ten or radio

Hope ‘fore I drop dead, I save my soul

Know I got a hot head, but I’m staying cold

I ain't a player but the mayor though

[Verse 2]

Look, ayy

Oh, we just gon' chill real quick, let's get it

Anyone can talk to

Anyone can walk through my block too

Ask me any question, y’all can harass me

When I travel, I’ll be back, B

Here’s my math, don’t ask me

Why it’s jerz?

Ain't got a phone, it’s Matt’s piece

My bad Matt, have to apologize advanced G

You my whole campaign team

And he saw something in me

Thank you for fucking with me

Lubansky

Damn G, let's get this bank B

[Chorus]

Don't do it for top ten or radio

Hope ‘fore I drop dead, I save my soul

Know I got a hot head, but I’m staying cold

I ain't a player but the mayor though

[Bridge]

Yeah, I see y'all

Nah, it's all good man

We got this shit right here

[Verse 3]

Y’all had doubt that I had a chance

Took the only route that I can

Now we flying in to South of France

You can pout man while I dance

Cry away while I fly away

Another city to annihilate

All I gotta do is rhyme today

Tell me what time I’m on stage

Tell me what time I’m on stage

There’s some shit that I gotta say

Tell me what time I’m on stage

Back to the city that I’m raised

The mayor faded with a fade and stayed in

Everybody’s favor

Soul made of gold, know that we major

Way before The FADER

More concerned how I came home, heard my homes was tasered

By some pig, over sayer, cop, overseer

Shit's over, I’m saying it gotta stop

I’m zoned and laser sharp, but I’m here and I know I need you

[Chorus]

Don't do it for top ten or radio

Hope ‘fore I drop dead, I save my soul

Know I got a hot head, but I’m staying cold

I ain't a player but the mayor though
