lirik lagu boonie mayfield - so much more
[intro: shawn keith]
“i noticed — as talented as you are, you’ve always questioned whether or not you were good enough. trying to please this person and that person, and doing what you think expected from you — “that dude on youtube”. that being said, my thoughts are — you are so much more than that.”
[verse 1: boonie mayfield]
if dreams are a gift, god why can’t i open it?
feeling a shift towards the better
but i’m broker than i’ve ever been
i guess i should be looking for a job now
’cause the music sh~t ain’t paying
but it’s hard how i don’t care for small talk
half of it is all bark, no bites
mouths start looking like strobe lights
i’m epileptic, i’ve seen enough pretension
i’m unaffected with give~a~f~ck prevention
should i cater to rappers only after cheaper beats?
or entertaining beat making videos for free to teach
the methods i sacrificed over 12 years for me to reach
i paid the price to be this nice
you cannot be a leech and not invest in it
this ain’t a hobby, dawg
i’m tryna be the best in it
dammit, that’s a lot of focus
and not a lot of time for me to spend what’s left in it
posting how to’s and free beats for everybody’s opus
try to understand, i don’t wanna be resentful
it’s getting in my way of having gratitude
if you’re a fan, let me say this plain and simple
i’m sorry if you didn’t like my attitude
it’s hard to share
i got fans everywhere but they’re never there
it’s all on a computer screen, a virtual reality
i’m not even accustomed to it
let alone know how to be anyone but myself
i’m so much more
word to shawn “the don” keithesis
[interlude: shawn keith]
“and you need to figure out — matter of fact, i believe you are starting to figure out who you are.”
[verse 2: boonie mayfield]
okay, bring it back to the start
april 1999, such a pain in my heart
after watching columbine happen
right after i just celebrated my birthday
without a clue the next day would be the worst day
i’ve ever seen as a young teen
like one scene in a movie that could happen, but it did
it’s one of the reasons that i started rapping, ‘cause a kid
named isaiah sholes died for being black, and i forbid
that his dream would go in vain
so i made the decision to follow mine and it’s a shame
how n~ggas think it’s a game to me
i wrote a poem for him even though i didn’t know him
and i bet that he’s an angel
rap n~ggas i ain’t you, beat n~ggas i ain’t you
i’m a poet, you should know it
by every image i paint you
i show it but you go with
a false perception to taint you
limitations will spank you on the knee of stupidity
i’ll fly to infinity, so thank you
to all the true supporters, i’mma shine on
and to critics, this the last time i’ll sign on
so say what you gotta say, won’t read it anyway
so reference it as “he”
don’t direct that sh~t at me, you don’t know me
i’m not your bro, i’m not friend, i’m not your little homie
just watch a pro and not pretend you paid me alimony
when you quit supporting what i gave you free
made it easier for me to leave this sh~t, i’m free
peace, and you know where my beat kits is
[outro: shawn keith]
“but, the only way you’re gonna really realize who you are — if you just put aside all doubt, and do it.”
