Too Many by Elijah Kyle Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Too many talking the most but doing the least
That’s just the way that it goes
Too many cater to headlines and triggering beefs
Irrelevance staying afloat
Too many buy into hype an invest all their money in something that never will grow
Too many artists are dying they treat us like pets on a leash caged up no joke
Too many preaching they got it but really they don’t
Too many selling their soul
Too many use propaganda as ways to exploit all the youth and the people they know
Too many haters are getting exposed
Too many people I love went ghost
Too many times could’ve grab that rope
Too many thoughts for a sane man woke
But I just keep going
Let em' all keep taking while I drop these hits
Tay K
Got an AK
Going mayday
Crash course
Never been paid
Never had change
Look at me now
Yeah
Fuck it I’m broke as shit
No money in the tank nevermind the rent
What’s common ground without common sense
What’s battle wounds without bandages
What’s symphonies without violins
What’s a protest without violence
What’s a perfect human in this life of sin
What’s a cut grass when the snakes hide
What’s a foundation when’s it’s high tide
When the paths cross ain’t no picking sides
We don’t raise flags this is do or die
Round here
No I won’t sign your deal
Freedom is something that kills
Free my deception despite how I feel the medicine bumping adrenaline heals pressing my stereo sonically builds the waves of my essence will never derail
Y’all set scales while I set sail
Jealously blinds so I write in brail
[Verse 2]
I wanna know that my family’s financial stable
An' mom an' pops don’t have to work
I wanna know that my auntie in heaven is smiling down while I’m here on this earth
I wanna know that my Dinha is healthy and happy an' living the live she deserves
I wanna know that my sister is treated like royalty not with a clown who’s a jerk
Promise I see you alone and I’m breaking your teeth
Lemme just keep it a buck
I try to stay out of violence
But messing with family
A way to deminish your luck
Hide all you want man I don’t give a fuck
Sooner or later the jury will judge
Push her again and they’ll put me in cuffs
It’s funny abusers think there so tough
But it’s all an illusion
Enough on that topic
Got way to much more on my chest
People become their environment or they get better and learn from the cards they were dealt
I never thought that my music would save 100s of people from different states
I never thought I could tear up a stage
Crazy how fast your whole life can change
Man
Fuck your comparisons
Stop thinking that cocky is arrogance
I'm very aware my career's at the bottom
But I keep on working and managin'
Telling myself that my moment is coming
When everyone doubted I kept it 100
I started with nothing and turned it to something
Now me and shorty bouta take over
That’s the end of discussion
[Verse 3]
How many times have I murdered these beats
How many rappers have I left deceased
Gimme 4 years an' I’ll be at the garden
While you're 26 bussing tables at Olive
Yeah
They treat you like Suge Knight
Bitch you don’t get no respect
You wanna dance with the devil
I promise she’s covered in Prada
I done learn my lesson
Replying to haters
All over the web
It’s a gift an' a curse
When you rap with the best of the industry
Radio never respects what your doing
Till everyone bumps it
One minute they hate it then suddenly love it
The real gon' live
While the fake ones plummet
Keep the grass short better watch for the snakes
When the tops in your reach
They gon' aim for you legs
On the stage gonna rage
Whether 8's in the crowd
Or a million
I rap for the broken the bruised an' the children
Yeah
