Talkin' Down Lyrics

[Verse 1]
f*ck it, I'ma snap, it go deeper than rap
Put rappers on blast, you get beat or adapt
Put my hair all plat, need the tracks to match
With my name on plaques, while I'm raking in racks
But I'm too bomb-bastic, and too damn average
I'm too fed up to be two cents grasping
And these fake f*cks want me grab bad habits
While not on my level, so I sit back laughing
Plot my own schemes, never changin' for me
You can talk behind scenes, no complainin' from me
But I hope you can see what I'm claiming to be
Is a fact to the T, ain't no faking from me
Ain't no time for the bullshit, that stops now
Remember days when kids would play 'n I would never come out
Was afraid of the conflict now I'm seeking it out
There's no f*ckin' way to stop it, ain't it kinda funny how

[Chorus]
When I first started out you were
Talkin' down, Talkin' down
But now I'm right here you ain't
Talkin' now, talkin' now
When I first started out you were
Talkin' down, talkin' down
But now I'm right here you ain't
Talkin' now. You ain't talkin' now

[Verse 2] (Nick XL)
Motherf*ckers showin' up, they tryin' befriending me
You ain't heard the news bitch? I got nothin' but enemies
Yeah, Foul Mouth, we don't f*ck with suits, they pretend to see
Trick a kid for they embassy, tryna' snuff out a legacy
I'm in the lab all by myself
But nobody listened to "By Myself"
So I'm sat with the bottle like "a nine might help"
Put the barrel to my head, let it shine my scalp
I don't f*ck with these rappers, the lot of 'em ain't gonna blow
But I gotta make it, they hate cause they know
Won't check your tape when you're on the pay roll Thought I told you bitches I'm a menace, I meant the shit
Old homies back-stab, tell me it's for my benefit
Motherf*ckers talkin' down, I'ma eat 'em like venison
No incentive, incentive-less, bitch I do it, it's effortless

[Chorus]
When I first started out you were
Talkin' down, Talkin' down
But now I'm right here you ain't
Talkin' now, talkin' now
When I first started out you were
Talkin' down, talkin' down
But now I'm right here you ain't
Talkin' now. You ain't talkin' now

[Verse 3]
Motherf*cker why you think you God but you ain't
Get Splatooned, I'mma roll up with the paint
X and Drew we ain't leaders in the game
But we known to breakthrough, when we takin' different lanes
I really don't think you could stand a chance
Or manage the damn damage I give in advance
To motherf*ckers hatin' thinkin' they can throw in they hands
When they punches never land like Michael's backyard ranch
'Bout to flip the game like, "f*ck this shit"
No Rich Chig, I'mma pull up with a stick
Life's a bitch, but I'm flippin' the script
On these motherf*ckers thinkin that they got it in grips
We ain't tight so you paint me in a bad light
Ya act ain't nice, take it, I'm a playwright
You just wanna bitch and you always wanna make fights
Looking back on it now I just wanna say, I

[Chorus]
First started out, you were
Talkin' down, Talkin' down
But now I'm right here you ain't
Talkin' now, talkin' now
When I first started out you were
Talkin' down, talkin' down
But now I'm right here you ain't
Talkin' now. You ain't talkin' now
