All Before Twenty by Ettrick Shepherd Lyrics
[Hook]
If you wanna talk about projects, I've released plenty
And dropped an album all before twenty
And although my heart may be empty
I've got my spot popping like Fanta and Henny
If you wanna talk about projects, I've released plenty
And dropped an album all before twenty
And although my heart may be empty
I've got my spot popping like Fanta and Henny
[Verse 1]
I’ve had a pen game since tenth grade
Anybody who would step to me would get flamed
And it’s ludicrous to think that I went from a student of the game to being my own sensai
When I dropped me, the people weren’t ready
But now they know my talent so I feel like they’ll forget me
Unless I can surprise them again with something new
But I’ve rapped about it all and now I don’t know what to do
Ain’t got a crack in the door
And nothing’s happened in my life but less has happened in yours
Had a suburban reputation cos my rapping was raw
They were waiting on my verses, I came back to give more
I had a plan, for real, thought it through
Felt like I was doing I was sent to do
I’m sick of you rappers, I’ma kill all of you
Nowhere near done because there’s still more to do
[Hook]
If you wanna talk about projects, I've released plenty
And dropped an album all before twenty
And although my heart may be empty
I've got my spot popping like Fanta and Henny
If you wanna talk about projects, I've released plenty
And dropped an album all before twenty
And although my heart may be empty
I've got my spot popping like Fanta and Henny
[Verse 2]
This is honest, I never had a cosign
Wish I didn’t care though, take me back to those times
‘Fore I had to network just to get a repost
I’ll promote my shit, that’s not what it needs though
I don’t rock with a popular crowd
That never meant a thing so I ain’t stopping for now
The musicians that I fuck with are properly down
And there’s only one rule: no novices allowed
Didn’t drink until 18, didn’t smoke until 19
No parties, no gathos, that wasn’t where you’d find me
I was at home on the rise with nobody behind me
And I probably sound bitter now
Cos I was broke as fuck while my bros were at Listen Out
But I’ve got a fire lit inside me
So pass the fucking torch, I’ma grip it tightly
[Hook]
If you wanna talk about projects, I've released plenty
And dropped an album all before twenty
And although my heart may be empty
I've got my spot popping like Fanta and Henny
If you wanna talk about projects, I've released plenty
And dropped an album all before twenty
And although my heart may be empty
I've got my spot popping like Fanta and Henny
[Verse 3]
I was the artist no singer would fuck with
Had to do it myself, I’m on my Russ shit
Had people saying that they wanted to collab
But nobody could match the passion that I had
Not to mention, I never got the attention
These webcam singers are getting
It’s offensive but I gained respect
Got what I wanted but I haven’t made it yet
Been above 5000 metres more times than I’ve been on a date, that’s deep shit
I’ve mixed less drinks than songs
And I’ve smoked more rappers than bongs
I performed live in July and I sang for my haters while they sang along
Evolving into lyrical King Kong
If you think I’ll stop when I’m in my 20s than you’re wrong
[Hook]
If you wanna talk about projects, I've released plenty
And dropped an album all before twenty
And although my heart may be empty
I've got my spot popping like Fanta and Henny
If you wanna talk about projects, I've released plenty
And dropped an album all before twenty
And although my heart may be empty
I've got my spot popping like Fanta and Henny
If you wanna talk about projects, I've released plenty
And dropped an album all before twenty
And although my heart may be empty
I've got my spot popping like Fanta and Henny
If you wanna talk about projects, I've released plenty
And dropped an album all before twenty
And although my heart may be empty
I've got my spot popping like Fanta and Henny
