[Intro]

Dee-1

(I Hope They Hear Me)

(I don't rock with yes men)

Look man, we 'bout to do something different

I don't want no applause, no hands up, none of that

Let's go

[Chorus]

I don't want no applause, please don't clap

You ain't gotta make a sound, just listen and relate to my rap

Don't scream, don't put your hands up

If you sitting, stay sitting, you ain't gotta stand up

Don't gas my head up, don't tell me I'm nice

Just pray for me one time, after that go enjoy your life

'Cause you don't owe me nothing, people, you ain't gotta clap

As far as you know I'm just another cat tryna rap, yeah

Let's go

[Verse 1]

Give me three minutes, let me paint a quick picture

Scoot over on that bench and let me take a sit with you

I left my Blackberry at the crib today

Ain't no distractions, I'ma tell you how it is today

[?] like a rapper, then say he's no longer cold

But I'm too busy chasing goals, tryna [?] my soul

But this ain't about what I sold or what I will

I'm helping others give birth to new ideas

Even if they on that pill, for real? Chill, I have no deal

I'm starving artist, baby, still looking for my meal

That's why I wonder what they mean when they tell me that I'm ill

Am I sick from this hunger in my stomach that I feel?

Ayy, five-star restaurants can't quite fill me

For the past three years the devil been tryna kill me

Two bad car wrecks plus a gun to the head

But I ain't dead, I just use it as motivation instead

[Chorus]

I don't want no applause, please don't clap

You ain't gotta make a sound, just listen and relate to my rap

Don't scream, don't put your hands up

If you sitting, stay sitting, you ain't gotta stand up

Don't gas my head up, don't tell me I'm nice

Just pray for me one time, after that go enjoy your life

'Cause you don't owe me nothing, people, you ain't gotta clap

As far as you know I'm just another cat tryna rap

So when I yell "That's a wrap," that's a wrap

[Verse 2]

Ayy, ayy, ayy

Been searching for the answers, now I think I finally found it

Used to never could tell if folks would be amazed or dumbfounded

I would be out on the stage pouring out my whole heart

Meanwhile wondering what they thought [?] caught

Between one side of their brain saying "This ain't what I'm used to"

And the other saying "He the truth," so it's like they stuck in neutral

"Should I hate him or love him?"

What I learned is they'd rather be indifferent until somebody big discover 'em

'Cause he's different and he's southern and he uttering all

Hopefully this time next year his favorite color gon' be blue

Symbolizing what he gon' do in the next twelve months

The grind got me high as Curren$y [?] on twelve blunts

And I ain't never had one, so I don't know if that's [?]

But my dog spelled backwards got me feeling unstoppable

Ain't no clapping when I'm done

I don't want no clapping when I'm done

Just let me words [?] on your eardrum, One

[Chorus]

I don't want no applause, please don't clap (Nah)

You ain't gotta make a sound, just listen and relate to my rap (Just listen)

Don't scream, don't put your hands up

If you sitting, stay sitting, you ain't gotta stand up (Stay still)

Don't gas my head up, don't tell me I'm nice (None of that)

Just pray for me one time, after that go enjoy your life (Your life)

'Cause you don't owe me nothing, people, you ain't gotta clap

As far as you know I'm just another cat tryna rap

So when I yell "That's a wrap," that's a wrap

[Outro]

Yeah, so when I yell "That's a wrap," that's a wrap

Yeah, so when I yell "That's a wrap," that's a wrap

Shout out to Drizzy Drake

Had like the biggest buzz from an unsigned artist I done ever seen

And that's the only artist I know who ever had Birdman listening to R&B, haha, yeah

And when I opened for that boy at Tulane

I did kill it, slaughtered it

Ask anybody, it's on YouTube

That's it
