[Intro]

If they show love

Imma show it back

If the catch is too small

Imma throw it back

I've done a lot

But I ain't got a lot to show for that (alright yeah, let's do that again)

If they show love

Imma show it back

If the catch is too small

Imma throw it back

I've done a lot

But I ain't got a lot to show for that (Alright yeah let's get into it)


[Verse 1]

A lot of things have happened since we last spoke

Like smashed hopes. Half empty? Nah, this glass is broke

And I'm the captain of this crashed boat

So when it's time to sink or swim I always choose to do the back float

I know that not a lot of humans are as sharp as I am

My modesty's my greatest quality. It's not, I'm lying

I know I'm only just alright with this art of rhyming

No, I'm not applying myself, in fact, I'm hardly trying

But just imagine what would happen if I stuck to rappin'

Man, I'd probably have a helicopter and a couple mansions

With some guard dogs, and a bunch of fans they love attacking

Probably not, but it's fun to imagine

I can't complain at where I'm at

I'm just happy to be here

I'd be ecstatic if we happened to have a repeat year

Thanks to ProleteR I'm rappin' to heaters

While passing the reefer. Man, that's what I call having a breather


[Hook]

If they show love

Imma show it back

If the catch is too small

Imma throw it back

I've done a lot

But I ain't got a lot to show for that

(I've done a lot but I ain't got a lot to show for that)


[Verse 2]

It's your story, so frame it how you wanna frame it

I get the picture, but that doesn't mean I've gotta hang it

I used to be a Mormon, saying things like "gosh" and "dangit"

Now I'm trying to rap while I act like I don't want to make it

So fuck a record deal

I only say that cause they haven't made the offer yet

I'm confident they never will

My only competition is myself from the year previous

It's clear to me I have to fear greediness

And steer clear from that media hype

And devious types

I'm booking my Expedia flights immediately

That's right, I'm leaving tonight, to find some peace on a beach

Is where I'm needing to write

So fly me to France, I think its time my life is enhanced

Teach me all about fashion, let's go buy me some pants

There might be a chance, that I finally find some romance

With a fly little mami who invites me to dance, come on


[Outro]

So if she shows love

Imma show it back

But if that catch is too small

Imma throw it back

I've done a lot, but I ain't got a lot to show for that

(I've done a lot, but I ain't got a lot to show for that)

So if they show love

Imma show it back

If the catch is too small

Imma throw it back

I've done a lot, but I ain't got a lot to show for that
