fourth wall (outtro) - inspectah kp lyrics
[intro]
this one be catchier * give me your ear
you listen, we winnin’, teach you what to hear
you listen, let’s get it * the message is clear
if i get you to listen, i’m man of the year
[verse 1]
attention? good * i’m spittin’ this wisdom and listen you should
or listen you might, if the sample is tight
if i’m hookin’ it right, then listen you would
make it through history? bettin’ you could
if i slapped on a chorus and misunderstood
the meaning of music as tamin’ the student
not treating my friend like the engine that could
half of you listening thinkin’ it’s tame
dissin’, dismissin’ it, knowing it’s payne
everyone welcome to jump on the train
thinkin’ a name is just part of the game
you right * and everything changes with fame
now i don’t have it, don’t want to brag it, trying to bag it
find out the rules * what make us dope, and what make us lame
learned ’bout the audience after the play
the music is key to winnin’ the game
wait to get big before you take aim
if you been blazin’, you ballin’ like dame
before you get wordy and hit ’em with rain
job #1, let the sun entertain
keepin’ it light before bringin’ the pain
bouncin’ their head before using their brain
so show ’em a balance of music and words
throw ’em your talent, dilute it with curves
blowin’ the balance, the roof, and the nerves
i’m flowin’, the challengers shooting at birds
been knowin’ the challenge is music, not words
been writin’ a chorus, ain’t cooler than verse
been smilin’ at tourists that’s thinkin’ i’m worse
than students of music, just started to flirt with rap
[opening remarks]
h*llo everybody!
welcome to the outtro, where we do “thank you’s” instead of a chorus! the first one i gotta throw out is pretty obvious * 2000, my man, my producer * got me in here, i can’t tell you how many hours, day in, day out, to grind this album out, so…
got a few more bars before we call it a record
[verse 2]
well, if you made it this far, you must be listenin’ well
hope you’re enjoying the record * i wrote it myself (ha)
these some original bars, can’t get them from n0body else
no one employin’ ’em either * ain’t sharin’ my cell (ha)
did i jack that from kendrick? (nah)
did it come from lamar? (yah)
i was inspired by the retired, the k!lled in a car (pac)
the higher, the lower, the flier, the smoker, wake up in the sky
the b.i.g.s, the smalls, the ricks, the ross, illmatic the god (nas)
and for some particular mentions, takeoff, wale (ayy)
the migos, e*40, kendrick, and kanye (ayy)
can’t jack flow without cred, rick ross and 2k (kay)
got big k.r.i.t. “olympus” bouncin’ through my brain (brain)
and to all the beat makers * couldn’t be rappin’ without you
pourin’ your heart and soul * you’re smart and cold
keepin’ that swagger about you
keep hustling * stay on the grind
keep rustling feathers, don’t pay no mind * the haters
wishin’, and dissin’ your kind
ain’t havin’ that soul that’s touchin’ the sky
and i mean that!
every instrumental we got on this project is from an independent producer * none of the big guys. names like ihaksi, dansonn, tonejones, mark murrille, you guys all did a wonderful job on the beats for this project, so, really appreciate y’all * you don’t get the support you deserve
[closing remarks]
other than that * a couple features we want to talk about:
2k * as usual, cleverest bars in the industry, had a great feature
kid monty came through with a chorus for “in my head,” kid monty actually wrote that chorus, ’cause we didn’t have one, and i think it ended up being the best hook that we had on the album, so, really appreciate you bro
julia helene, with the singin’ on “the one” * tell you what, i can write, but i cannot sing like that, so you brought a really important piece to this record, really appreciate you!
and finally, henryd * we actually had the album done, we thought, but then henryd and i had an idea for a song, so he came through and did a verse on that so, yeah, we really appreciate all y’all
and finally the listener, of course, you guys are who we do it for, so, really appreciate you being here and listenin’
hope you enjoyed the record! see you next time
