Charged Up by Shottie (Rapper) Lyrics
Charged Up
[Verse 1]
To me this rap thing is like a big conundrum
I put my soul into these records
Then try to pick a hit amongst them
And hope someone with a lot of followers on Twitter loves it
Retweet and suddenly we lit
Like he invented Tungsten
I'm in the function thinking I don't belong
Then I think... You acting like a bitch
Your mind's been idle too long
But I think Michael knew
If you remain an idol too long, out of spite for you
They'll discredit every title you've won
And that's Tyson, Jordan, Jackson
Either one applies
Guaranteed somebody under mine gonna try to undermine
My younger mind might have thought it was personal
But then I heard them hunger cries, and I understood
So may God nourish you... Amen
Hey man, you ever read the good book?
A few times, how many?
Mmm, let's Satan
You ready to dance with the devil, homie?
Shit, after Little Nas X
That statement don't sound the same since
It's 2021 and we still ain't got a flying car
But you'll get ostracized if you ain't got the flyest car
Make it make sense, or better yet don't try at all
Every guy that log on Twitter don't deserve dialogue
Uh, I try and dodge outside distractions
When I outline my tactics, it's to outshine my bracket
By and large, I don't say I am God but I don't deny the charge
Even if I don't got the credit, I'm a slide the card
And sidebar: I hate that Tony killed Manny
But frankly, he got him mixed up with Seidelbaum
Then Tony got pinched, and he made that deal with Sosa to ignite a bomb
Until he seen women and children inside the car
Now, I ain't trying to recap the whole flick
But one weak cat can bring down the whole clique
That's why you gotta detach emotions
And my demeanor's Fedor
So we can either run this fade or
You gonna be knocking on fate door, playboy, yeah...
[Chorus]
I'm charged up
I'm charged up
I'm charged up
You got weak reception?
Get them bars up
[Verse 2]
To me this rap game is like a big distraction
Emcees get a little traction then to pivot to film or fashion
They feel the flashing of these Panavision cameras clicking
With panoramic vision, then you wonder why they acting different
We like to act pretentious when we're not in that position
You ain't really buying bars, that's a business acquisition
We got shareholders, they don't care if you the GOAT
But if it make you feel better, we'll make it appear as if you wrote
And now you got a thousand screaming fans, tearing through the ropes
And they don't care about your metaphors, or therapeutic quotes
And then I think... What would I do if I was wearing your shoes?
Can I say another man's words?
I don't know the answer... But, no
Cause pride is a motherfucker
And look where integrity got the Kennedys
We gonna die in this motherfucker
So let's get high in this motherfucker
And by the way...
Say hi to your mother, Fucker
