Why're you ignoring the effort

You're zoning out, looking right through like it's transparent

You want to me to do all the work

Let you take the credit, but I don't do transplants

When shit goes the way it's intended (ahh)

They'll start switching up like they're Ben Ten (huh, ahh)

Then I'll watch them cower and be sour

Who are we kidding, you should have expected it

[Verse 1]

I like to chill with my mask off

I said fuck it, I guess you can know me (guess you can know me)

Used to be scared of the backlash

I was trying so hard to keep it low kеy (keep it low key)

But when I realizеd that I would be popping

I stopped taking shit from these nobodies (ahh)

I won't let nobody hold me (nah)

I know they're tryna control freaks (nah)

I had to stick to the minimum wage just so they could give me the whole piece

Don't like to flex, but fuck it for the one time

I'll post it up like I'm Kobe

Why you be talking about, "I was with you from the start"

When that's not what you showed me (not what you showed me, no no)

My shit done took heart

Got my push start

We be riding with no key

I kept on throwing money in the dirt and I had to upgrade my lifestyle

I told my people that life was gon change

But they looked confused. They was like, "how?" (sheesh)

I knew you always had high doubts

But I had to stick to the plan

They call me Mide with a capital M

And I gotta build up my land like right now

I'll make it worthwhile

I'll plant my seed in that bitch and make it fertile (uhh)

I gotta grow crops

I'ma empty the whole stock

Then repeat like a soap opera (wait)

But I'm a show stopper

And I'm in my own genre

They tried to give me a low offer

Fuck it, I'll stay on my own nigga (go nigga go)

[Verse 2]

I'm going to Penn State (yeah)

Just look at what I'm writing up (hmm hmm)

They never thought a nigga would be counting it up (yeah yeah yeah)

Swear I was stuck but I had to step out of the mud

And they can't handle the trap (no they can't handle it)

Can't bear, can't bear it (no)

I know they're tryna to take me off course

And put me in the wrong bearings (wrong bearings yea)

That's why I gotta keep my mind clear as Sprite

Transparent, transparent (transparent yeah)

I feel like a bull when I'm writing, I'm rushing (Yeah)

I can feel the adrenaline (ooh ooh)

Glad that I don't feel the pain though

Cuz' I know that people been judging my melanin (people be judging my)

Take that shit right off my mind

Yeah I know my fate

And I'm in my element (na na na)

While you keep pushing it to the side

I'm not tryna wait

I don't wanna be celibate (no I'm not tryna be)

Didn't have no time to play

But that shit done paid off like a settlement (ooh ahh)

I'm accruing the interest of people that didn't really care to take notice initially (ooh)

They say I'm not official

But time will remember my name and they're gonna be history (ahh)

Can't handle the struggle

They're thinking bout faking their death like huckleberry Finn

And they want to be subtle now that they're in trouble

They're so reserved that it's making them transparent

Transparent (Yeah)

Transparent (Yeah)
