Straight Up by J Slikk Lyrics
[Hook]
It's game time
Straight up
On the main line
What's up
You're music's dope
Straight up
You got talent
Straight up
[Verse 1]
If you hear what I hear
They talkin bout me
And what are they doing?
They spreading false rumors
I mean really
I would've given you the truth
But to be real
Ya shoulda called sooner
[Oooooooh]
They lie when they say
They got the juice
Why are you lying
Don't give an excuse
Here look at my stuff
It's bearing fruit
[Oooooooh]
I know what I want
What I want to make
For people that strugglе
So they can relate
You'rе destiny is
For you to be great
I can never be awake
Not for my own sake
They clapping for Drake
Like they playing patty cake (patty cake, patty cake)
I'm here to rap
I'm not like him
Stretch forth an arm
Going out on a limb
I mean who don't struggle
With getting enough sleep
This is what I've been dealt
Read them and weep
I'm not sure that was
Real sympathy
Why do you pretend
Answer plain and simply
[Hook]
It's game time
Straight up
On the main line
What's up
You're music's dope
Straight up
You got talent
Straight up
[Verse 2]
Ha!
They say one thing
Then do another
Call out for peace
But shout at their mother
Say stop the fighting
Then hit their brother
Ha!
What is good is a word
If you never keep it
What is good is a treasure
If you never seek it
What good is a message
If you're never speaking
Straight up
How often do you get involved
Maybe once out of all the days
It takes the Earth to revolve (that's not enough)
Straight up
How often are you telling them lies?
Say you'll treat em fair
Not giving some second tries
Not always
But sometimes I'm the trillest
So if you take it easy
Then sometimes you can feel it
Other times
I look like I'm insane
Say that I'm Frankenstein
Where the heck is my brain
For real
I've lost my mind
Stress over stuff
That isn't even mine
That was my idea
You made me in charge
Without your help
Of course it's been hard
Straight up
Why do you get the credit
I am the one
That helped them benefit
I did it all
And that is legit
I'm the thinker and writer
All you've done is say it
[Hook]
It's game time
Straight up
On the main line
What's up
You're music's dope
Straight up
You got talent
Straight up
[Outro]
J Slikk
Straight up
You trip if
You hate us
Unless you listen
Don't rate us
We're smart too
Don't try to bait us
(Don't try to bait us!)
It's game time
Straight up
On the main line
What's up
You're music's dope
Straight up
You got talent
Straight up
