[Verse] Standing outside that venue, passing out fliers No record labels calling, no buzz, no fire Burning in my lungs if I kept on writing One day I'll be discovered and somebody might sign him Naw, naw, now saying that I'm pop [?] Before I was on anybody else's iPod Sleeping on couches and praying to my God I'm making that money to eat at a IHOP Give me twenty people, turn them into believers Booked my own shows in two-hundred-seat theaters Searched my whole life on this podium, I speak for my hard work I deserve this arena When you work your whole life on the verge of defeated Do it for yourself because nobody out there believed it Record label, naw, we show the world you don't need 'em The people want to see change, I so happen to speak it And me, I'm like, "Who are you?" God damn it, I'm myself, and I know the truth And I released that shit when I was in the booth Shoutout to my family in Syracuse [Hook] Everybody say oh-oh! (Oh-oh!) Say oh-oh! (Oh-oh!) Say oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh! (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh!) Say oh-oh, oh-oh! (Oh-oh, oh-oh!) Say oh-oh, oh-oh! (Oh-oh, oh-oh!) [Outro] It goes, "Make the money, don't let the money make you Change the game, don't let the game change you I'll forever remain faithful All my people say true," I said "Make the money, don't let the money make you Change the game, don't let the game change you I'll forever remain faithful, all my people stay true"
