[Verse 1]

They try to tell me I should dumb it down

Say “you're too conscious for the fans to feel you”

Try to tell me I should calm it down

If you fight the system, they're gon' try to kill you

They try to tell me that I'm too sad

And it isn't healthy, fuck, I knew that

I'm just doin' me, and if you don't agree

And I don't owe you shit, then that is too bad

I fired shots at all the mumble rappers

And they try to say I'm not a humble rapper

So I tell 'em I'm not like these other rappers

And they try to say I'm just another rapper

Fuck it, I guess there's no pleasin' y'all

If the record has meaning, you don't leave it on

But you stream all the songs that repeat the same shit

About pussy and Xanax and liquor and drugs


[Refrain]

I could have a seizure like Wayne

I could just go OD like Peep

I could just go crazy like 'Ye

I could just get locked up like Meek


[Verse 2]

Repeat the same thing, using stupid slang

Yelling Gucci Gang on every flame beat

Or I could be me, at least I can breathe, at least I can sleep

Knowin' that I never sold my soul for money or a dream

These rappers all coked out

They just mumble lots, they got broke mouths

They got ten chains and got no house

They got twenty hoes and got no spouse

Smart rappers don't drink lean

That's kid shit, we ain't sixteen

If you got a problem, I welcome it

I'll be doing me for the helluvit


[Pre-Chorus]

For the helluvit

For the helluvit


[Chorus]

They said to go to hell, so I packed my shit and went wit' it

Little did they know that they put me in my element

I'm fired to the bone, now diamonds in my skeleton

I'm finally in my zone, doin' me for the helluvit, for the helluvit


[Verse 3]

They try to tell me to ignore the haters

“You're gon' get revenge when you're successful later”

They try to tell me I should not respond

And I should write a song and put it all on paper

They try to tell me I'm the bigger man

If I'm not underhanded when I write 'em back

And I try to tell 'em it's impossible

Thousands of people a day have been sayin' I'm whack

I try to tell 'em that it's complicated

I could write a novel about gettin' faded

But the conscious fans are gonna fuckin' hate it

And the wavy kids are gonna love to play it

So I write a song that's got a message in it

And the wavy kids are sayin' it's pathetic

But the conscious fans think it's awesome, man

They comment like, "Man, I really get it"

So what the fuck do y'all want?


[Refrain]

I could have a seizure like Wayne

I could just go OD like Peep

I could just go crazy like 'Ye

I could just get locked up like Meek

I could just go sell out like Jay

I could just stay real like Kweli

I could just get money like Drake


[Verse 4]

Or I could just say that I'm done playin' games and get famous and know that I always stayed me

So go ahead and bump the mumble rap

Don't boycott it, just understand

If you eat at McDonald's, you're gonna get fat

If you listen to garbage, your head fills with trash

Get drunk in the club, and spend all of yo' money

'Cause rappers have told you it makes you somebody

Then comment on this with your jealous shit

I'll be doing me for the helluvit


[Pre-Chorus]

For the helluvit

For the helluvit


[Chorus]

They said to go to hell, so I packed my shit and went wit' it

Little did they know that they put me in my element

I'm fired to the bone, now diamonds in my skeleton

I'm finally in my zone, doin' me, for the helluvit


[Outro]

For the helluvit

For the helluvit
