OG Twelve & Lino - Applause

Open book, you can see my flaws
The pain cut deep, you can feel my scars
Grew up from a king became one of the gods
Done it all and seen it all
Round of applause
Open book, you can see my flaws
The pain cut deep, you can feel my scars
Grew up from a king became one of the gods
Done it all and seen it all
Round of applause

Living legend in the flesh, this shit aint a myth
Its a present to be in my presence, this shit a gift
Bag full of nose candy, you can take sniff
I always had drive when niggas needed a lift (Lyft)
Or a chauffeur, I do this shit for the culture
Three World Mafia ties, I'm talkin' La Cosa Nostra
The loudest nigga in the room is usually the brokest
So keep ya eyes open for snakes, rats, and vultures
In this game of life you gotta make chess moves
So I pray ya next move is ya best move
She wonder how the hell he made it out a cesspool
I told my bitch when you this fly you need jet fuel
So put on ya fanciest dress and ya best shoes
You got a date with destiny
You couldn't bake this cake if I gave you the recipe
I was born to be great, you shouldn't expect nothing less of me (Huh)

Open book, you can see my flaws
The pain cut deep, you can feel my scars
Grew up from a king became one of the gods
Done it all and seen it all
Round of applause
Open book, you can see my flaws
The pain cut deep, you can feel my scars
Grew up from a king became one of the gods
Done it all and seen it all
Round of applause

I'm in the dark of the cave where cubs at
Locked in, sticking to the goal like a thumb tack
Highlight, make the best plays call Sportscenter
Always winning, I got a degree in optimism
I been dealing with some forgiveness that I was never given
All my children know they my children, hope they don't grow up bitter
Memories, I try to make em
Couple of em, I done missed em
For everything that you got, I had to go and get it
Money don't buy happiness, but tell me who wanna be broke
They tell you don't get too high, but tell me who reaching for low
Don't tell me if it aint facts, I can't live off speculation
Goat status my destination and I know I'm gone make it
I got too many enemies that I never encounter
So far on my high horse, I took a Clydesdale to the mountain
We really lived in the projects, got rich off economics
Learned everyone is a buyer so I became a supplier

Open book, you can see my flaws
The pain cut deep, you can feel my scars
Grew up from a king became one of the gods
Done it all and seen it all
Round of applause
Open book, you can see my flaws
The pain cut deep, you can feel my scars
Grew up from a king became one of the gods
Done it all and seen it all
Round of applause
