lirik lagu august graves - favorite rapper (bonus)

[intro]
it’s funny ~ like everybody hears their favorite songs
n0body knows the why or how these pieces of art get created
maybe the general population doesn’t care
so this last one isn’t for them
it’s for my fellow creatives
the ones who second guess every step they take
to put out something so intimate and close to them
just know that inspiration and creation isn’t a straight line
however, what’s important is that you start
and that you finish
just follow me…

[verse]
2018, pacing between the studio
and student body, jotting down ideas for a body of work
i named it scorpio, i thought it wouldn’t hurt
until i heard my rawest vocals deliver verses without a purpose
would’ve been curtains without the confidence
didn’t do it for some compliments, did it to stack accomplishments
copped a pad at age 14 to write the sonnets
16, i was dropping knowledge, 18, i got it knocking out
the laptop speakers, the fruity lab was my beaker
and scale set, i was writing rhymes, but hardly writing tales yet
dropped a couple eps, recorded them in the closet
took ’em down 2020, can’t blame you if you forgot ’em
too often, i hear my sh~t, i’m too scared to keep up the cornerstone
the corny label hangs over head like damocles’ throne
changed the tone to shape my goals and what i’m going after
no way i ever thought i’d ever be your favorite rapper
[hook]
wake up in the morning, tryna write another sixteen
in the hopes i’ll be your favorite rapper
screening bar after bar so when i’m finished, you gon’ miss me
in the hopes i’ll be your favorite rapper
my inspiration’s been a kitchen sink (your favorite rapper)
not as special as some people think (your favorite rapper)
i could disappear before you n~ggas blink (your favorite rapper)
i just want y’all to remember me (your favorite rapper)

[verse]
2020, i move to virginian city
even in the quarantine, i was grippin’ a little titty
ripping gritty verses over my version of alan maman beats
to talk about the demons that lurk and just how i handle things
the spoiler alert is: not well
i wrote them twenty songs, it got shelved
i almost died, and then i got help
so now i’m re~reading the words, they don’t inspire me
going back to the drawing board, process is getting tiring
2022, what theme i wanna pursue?
i’m in love with a front end girl, i’m over the moon
play unthinkable, i’m writing a thirty~two in my room
’till somebody crossed the line. now, i feel like i’m getting screwed
“what you wanna do?” my best friend listening to my stuff
told my sister about my style, she always gon’ hype me up
found my favorite cover artist, they told me from what they gathered
at the rate i’m dropping fire, i’m gon’ be their favorite rapper
2023, i get to work on the love game
i been produced the beats, but the writing’s feeling like gunplay
point the wrong way when a n~gga tryna be andre
i either look like a simp, or the manosphere likes my wit
i’m well~equipped in emotion, but i don’t trust the new motion of the wave
fourteen songs, it had to get shaved
now, it’s an ep sitting with singles i thought were strong
if i play them at a show, a couple might sing along
but i was missing writing lyrical, tryna promote my craft
i’m a singer~songwriter, but don’t forget ~ i can rap
studied jay before joni, and biggie before jodeci
hope they know my heart, but these lyrics will make them notice me
floetry in my headphones, money moves on my mind
dropping at 25, they’ll be thinking i past my prime
i’m tryna drop a piece of art they talk ’bout years after
by 2035, i’ve got to be your favorite rapper
[hook]
wake up in the morning, tryna write another sixteen
in the hopes i’ll be your favorite rapper
screening bar after bar so when i’m finished, you gon’ miss me
in the hopes i’ll be your favorite rapper
my inspiration’s been a kitchen sink (your favorite rapper)
not as special as some people think (your favorite rapper)
i could disappear before you n~ggas blink (your favorite rapper)
i just want y’all to remember me (your favorite rapper)

[outro]
just like that
that’s all you can really do
put work together, put it out, and hope for the best
even if it’s your worst, you have tomorrow
learn from this, learn from each other
get better, and get rid of the mindset that you need to be perfect
you’re already someone’s favorite
power of the tongue
august graves
till next time
