Expectations by EP Music Lyrics
[Intro]
Take whatever standard you hold me to as an artist
Ball it up, and throw it out the fucking window
You don't get to decide what my capabilities are
If I wanna have multiple doors open, because I'm able to do so
Who are you to fucking stop me?
Let me show you just what I can do
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I lace my words like a poison dart
This is not just a rap, it's a work of art
I don't have to aim when I'm takin' shots in the dark
With the wordplay, pop off from the heart
There's something lurkin' underneath this sea of rappers, full of clowns but there's no laughter
Watch them scatter, when they see just what comes after (Aargh)
Like a dog of war, a carnivore, ruthless to the core, leave a trail of blood and gore, on the floor
Just a little bit cryptic with my metaphors (Get ready)
My sticks and stones will leave your bones broken, when you spew the lies that you've spoken
You can't hide inside ya glass house when I blow the doors open
Did you feel that? Like a 9.0 on the Richter scale
And the ground begins to crack underneath the weight, just watch as I prevail
Then the walls begin to shake, 'til they break
Give way there is way too much at stake
'Cause in a fight, I'ma bring more than a knife
'Cause in a fight, I'ma take more than your life (Lets go)
[Chorus]
No walls, no limitations
This is just a demonstration
If you ever doubted me, undoubtedly, you've been mistaken
And it's so evident, your judgement is irrelevant
You may think your heaven sent, but to me my dreams are my salvation
And you don't have to believe in me or a single word I say
At the end of the day, to your dismay I have more than enough to pave my way
So I'll run the gauntlet
Do your worst, I won't be a hostage (Oh no)
To your expectations
To your expectations
[Verse 2]
Now I would never pretend to be something that I'm not
I just so happen to be a lot, like a juggernaut in a meltin' pot
If the sky is the limit, your thinkin' is finite, I break the mold with everything I write
Hindsight is 2020 'cause in 2020 I'm leavin' the haters in hindsight
Turn the critics to crickets over the course of a minute when I'm spittin' venom
You can have an opinion but keep the volume to a minimal
If you wanna get vocal you better be formidable
U-u-unforgivable
For you to treat me like the god damn ship is sinkin'
Like I'ma just float here and accept the fact that I'm prey for the sharks to sink their teeth in
Man you got me all wrong
I am nothin' like the person that you hear in this song
I am ten times worse when it really comes down to it
Leave you in a hearse if it really comes down to it (Yeah)
An anomaly, a prodigy, music has always been a part of me
It's not hard to see, I'm constantly, evolvin' into what I'm born to be
And I was born to be great
And if you don't see that then we can't relate
Pull up to the table there's food on the plate
And if you want seconds, there's more on the way
There's a part of me in everything I create
But a part of me just wants to throw it away
So pardon me if a part of me's hard to illustrate in a way you can convey (Lets go)
[Chorus]
No walls, no limitations
This is just a demonstration
If you ever doubted me, undoubtedly, you've been mistaken
And it's so evident, your judgement is irrelevant
You may think your heaven sent, but to me my dreams are my salvation
And you don't have to believe in me or a single word I say
At the end of the day, to your dismay I have more than enough to pave my way
