Gave It Back - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Drew Famous]

Started OIF because my city ain’t support me

But now that I popped they say I got it, when they ain’t endorse me

Don’t come around me talking fake if you ain’t bout it

Know a couple of y’all ain’t say to my face, I know you doubt

It’s got my sick to my stomach, I know y’all hate that you love it

I know y’all hate that I’m popping off when you said that I wasn’t

But now I’m here, round, know I run this town, I ain’t playing nah

I’m really bout, everything you clowned, when I was taking off

Please don’t be telling me nothing

Bossing it up when I’m young just to act a fool when I get older they calling me Benjamin Button

Really extensively stunting

Really the kid been a threat for the longest, I’m on it, I’m off it, my Mac is my office

I’m truly the best in my city, ain’t say it, I thought it

But now it’s on record I’m just being honest

The boy is heaven-sent, flow is heavy-set, you ain’t ready yet

Got my city on my back, really know I’m next, you ain’t gotta ask

Don’t ask me a question

Don’t got the answers, I suggest you keep guessing

My schedule been stacking up daily with more and more errands

So you ain’t got like it make sure you respect it

[Hook: Drew Famous]

I got the dream of being on some big magazine

They can tear down my ego or knock my self-esteem

Cause I got it in me and I know some that believe

They could give me a zero cause they still listened to me

That’s all that matters to me

I ain’t half-assing the beat

I made a little money then I gave it back to my dreams, yeah

Then I gave it back to my dreams, yeah

[Verse 2: Parris Chariz]

Made the vision for the heavens, in the building, made the verse in the basement

I’m breaking the vases and stealing the bases, just made a hit and it’s a homer

They at least a margin away from me, I been keeping them away from me

We been waving, need a surfboard, I been keeping them away from me, yeah

Gave it back to the dream, this is all for my leader

Gave it back for the team, got the juice in a liter

Yeah, Polaroid still on the way, yeah

Jerry is still on his wave, yeah, holy weapon in some days, yeah

[Verse 3: Topi Mandela]

Yeah, I know my fate, made the song Greatness again Imma state this, look

I know I’m great, been eating up beats for a minute but somehow I still gotta lot on my plate

The money I’m making goes right back to music, look

Ain’t no debate, I’m putting my all into this, I got family to feed so there’s no time to wait

Giving up is not okay, used to struggle every day

But I had to find a way, I got bills I need to pay, verses that I need to lay

Work that I cannot delay, so I ain’t got time to play at all

I ain’t got the time of day to stall, to my dreams Imma give it all, Topi
