Grassroots
Song by Ollie Joseph
E
Turn their backs in the past, now they want to come back
Too bad, I’m not practicing forgiveness
Realized that they fucked up, now they see me get some
Can’t eat, why’re you standing in my kitchen?
Yeah I remember when you talked down
Hands out, thinking that you’re getting some of ours now
If you weren't there for the grassroots
I can't let you in, I'm sorry to break the bad news
Okay they still up in that beta stage? This should go and wake em up
200 for a saving grace, I feel I wasn’t paid enough
Predicting what I’ll complain about when Ollie catch a major buzz
Hundreds too freshly pressed, watch out for them paper cuts
The dude working, the tour coming, I’m poured up
The new burden, is getting room service, in foreign tongue
Boarding a bombardier to fly to where I’m born from
And when I land the bad insta influencers swarm us
Women they loving the dude, I can’t fall or bare the thought
I fuck 'em, it's something to do, they’re quick to have the marriage talk
And noone can’t fit in my shoes, so they’re watching where I walk
But can’t mimic, they cramp sprinting, a caste system, I was
Born for it, fourth and inches I’m going for it
I can’t wait to trade ford escape for foreign plates
Four mortgages, all of them out in Florida, there’s
Gotta be more to this, can’t bring you if you ain’t on the list
Turn their backs in the past, now they want to come back
Too bad, I’m not practicing forgiveness
Realized that they fucked up, now they see me get some
Can’t eat, why’re you standing in my kitchen?
Yeah I remember when you talked down
Hands out, thinking that you’re getting some of ours now
If you weren't there for the grassroots
I can't let you in, I'm sorry to break the bad news
When I get a mansion, up in the canyons, Ima go pass that shit to my dad
Putting my mama, all in a yacht, putting Sebastien up in the fastest
Whip the jag up back to Jacksonville, get Stephanie Cabal
Cause when I'm on, and I don’t give a fuck, I’ll definitely need it all
Not just talking, I got a knack for making it come to fruition
Came in thinking you’d get famous, boy I’ve come to do business
Seen a ton of all of it happen, they only fuck if you're winning
Pussy will push me into distraction, can’t keep none of you women
Don’t be turning on them read receipts, hoping that you teasing me
Jokes on you bitch, you’re not the only girl that’s seeing me
You 'get through with your features,' opportunity seeker
You think you can smooth talk me, hoe I’m truthfully speechless
Cause I worked for this, I slaved away, paved a lane and stayed the same
Invest in me, if you want me to take you in and break the bank
And to all you broke hoes, and my past friends
Who chose to shut the door on me, I’ll never let you back in
Turn their backs in the past, now they want to come back
Too bad, I’m not practicing forgiveness
Realized that they fucked up, now they see me get some
Can’t eat, why’re you standing in my kitchen?
Yeah I remember when you talked down
Hands out, thinking that you’re getting some of ours now
If you weren't there for the grassroots
I can't let you in, I'm sorry to break the bad news
Too bad, I’m not practicing forgiveness
