TEDDYTESLA by Teddy Tesla Lyrics
Picked the cape back up, truthfully there ain't nothing like it
Thought I needed a peaceful life, you know something quiet
Something vanilla but how Godzilla supposed to stunt in silence
This that Wonka chocolate you Charlie Buckets get nothing and like it
We ain't chums, though you try to steal the recipe
That symbiote was taking away all the qualities stressing me
Little did I know my little quirks were like the best of me
The reason I can even do this hero shit professionally
When it comes to justice this one is in a league of his own
You ain't gotta ask me shit, I really can't bleed and it's known
Don't touch my air, you can't imagine all the dreams where I've flown
So it's so long to these haters, trying to take my seat at the throne
That includes you you really were the jealous type
Stole my brand and tried to capitalize cause I had hella hype
Sold me on your life, yeah I guess it was alright
But the end of the day, I realized it wasn't nothing like
What I already had, that shit got boring quick
Going to all of these restaurants just to try to take a pic
Sell my soul to ai just to try to make it rich
Get abs and settle down just to have a basic bitch?
Nah, that ain't nothing like me
Wanted to follow the same sure path I thought everybody was on 'till I realized ain't nothing likely
It's a gamble, so you always got to play to your odds
Even if when you roll the dice you pray to your god
And Lord knows my momma was
But maybe I just needed a little pause like a comma does
Quote me on this, tryna get double the commas bruh
How am I supposed to make that work acting like a common thug?
Or sitting in the cubicle with ain't nothing I like
If imitation is flattery then ain't nothing I like
This Envy cat tried to play me, we ain't nothing alike
And whenever I think that I ain't nothing I write
Stop acting like I don't have a distinct tone to all of my verses
You could tell i penned the bars even if i wrote em in cursive
Nothing like these other rappers with their tattoos and purses
Because my ink goes on the paper and I don't need a clutch for purchase
I'll remurder their beats, I don't need custom hearses
But I do need an eighth of weed and maybe a buxom wordsmith
Ladies, ain't nothing perfect, and I am no exception
Cause when it comes to getting shit done that can be a lethal weapon
But good is the enemy of great so I still shoot for perfection
This tape coming a little late so I love it like a stepson
Because I really am a different person than I was at its conception
But it's still came out everything I dreamed like inception
Or maybe not who knows when that top'll drop
Dreams of getting out of this world money like a coffeshop
And I'm gonna give all of my homies a cut, you can call me pops
Or call me Luke forcing my way out of cages with some paltry locks
And faulty knots, can anything hold me back, probably not
I don't do ties, all alone on the podium
You can feel victory radiating off me like polonium
Approach me with the sodium? Tidal waves eroding 'em
Hand me a recycle bin and throw all of you phonies in
Your old news, old tech, old fashioned
I won't snooze, won't rest, no napping
I won't lose, no deaths, just clapping
So if you wanna test, see what happens
Y'all should have learned better from the last tape
Y'all should have made your first one, your last take
Y'all should have done this that and the third
Y'all should have just quit rapping some words
Why he rapping about rap so much on his concept album?
Cause I was jealous of these other rappers and started to doubt them
Afraid they'd make all these top 10 lists and do it without him
But I was never afraid of this Envy shit, I knew the outcome
Should have just had faith in myself from the beginning
Once I got the symbiote off, I started winning
Can't rely on any power that doesn't come from within
Can't change who you are just to try to fit in
But you can better yourself, don't settle for nothing less
Than the person that you want to be, always strive and prosper
Keep your music good, and your future a little odder
Throw up that dynasty even if your money younger than a toddler
I dreamed of villains, and thought I saw one in the mirror
But I had to Miyagi and make that shit a little clearer
First I thought I saw a square, than I thought I saw a zero
But we are who we pretend to be so I'm a fucking hero
Thought I needed a peaceful life, you know something quiet
Something vanilla but how Godzilla supposed to stunt in silence
This that Wonka chocolate you Charlie Buckets get nothing and like it
We ain't chums, though you try to steal the recipe
