Lil Xay - Student of the Game

I'mma always be a student of the game, but teaching the teacher's a regular
After writing raps in the hallway in high school, I completed my metaphors
And I said OK when she threw it up, she the goddess of asses, call her Epona
She too light-skin, what you do to my retinas, beauty so blinding, et cetera
I met her instead of the limelight, so when I get it I'mma be ahead of 'em
I was top 5 10 from 7 to 11 then I saw that no one's a veteran
Then I got even better again, now my rhymes tight and I got a plethora
I'm a lone wolf when I'm in the booth on the mic, spit the whole truth, then I sing a tune
Niggas want beef, what you gon' do, can you bring a beat you produced with your own two hands
And a flow they can't tell if it's old or new
I control the pans well, I could slow the loop
I could smoke a vamp, hell, I can mold a groove
I got songs the fans felt cuz I spoke it too
I could dumb this shit down for the critics
But I don't like the sound of the crickets
And I'm pounding the rhythms and blues
Drinking's painful, they be like "Lil Xay, oh shit, how does he flip it"
I don't wanna be out of the ridicules, but the interviews, I'm not down for too many
The camera ain't been around for a minute, I cant give them a frown for the vision
Cause I'mma always be a student of the game, was teaching the teachers initially
After writing raps in the hallway in high school, I completed my similes
And she wanna four-way with two of her lady friends, she said threesomes are history
So I said OK when she threw it back, these knickers too impacted by my energy
Up on Broadway mean they do the acting, it ain't cool to cap, just ask your enemies
And they all say that I do the best when I go through the whack shit in my memories
So In the Dark Hour, here it comes, I ain't usually lacking on my symmetry
So it's part of the group
First I dropped What Happened
When I drop this new tape, put it all in a loop
And we'll see if you're smart or confused
I got demons, not calling a truce, I had my heart in a noose
That's why it's hard to give part of it to any party and they say I'm sorry for you
But I just put that shit in my art, so it's cool
All these nights filled with dark in my room, felt the bite, Peter Parker my dude
I would die for this game like a martyr would do, see I'm partly a fool, but I also am smart, clever too
And I'm starting to value my heart more than all of the fools, when it's light I might conquer my mood
And I'll fight 'til I'm stronger, I'll write verses longer 'til I can spit all of the truth
Yeah
And the truth is that I'm in the top one percent of the game
Tell me how could you switch up when you got a lil sip of the fame
I'll drop this single and then when the album drops, it'll simmer the flames
It's the dark hour, let it out, you're human, just with a bit of the pain
I got it too, shit, but I use it to express and explain
I might have depression all day but music seems to lessen the sting
And my homies blessings to me
And the rest y'all can get out the way
Do not get up in my path or down in my space, I done got a couple of raps out of the day
You can not jumble my tracks how they in place
And I tried to love in the past, now I'm insane
I guess I've been that for longer than I would think
I'm stronger when I'm in pain, I conquer what's in my brain
I might make a song that ponders all of the shame
Tell me what you want, I'm kinda stuck in your wave
Yeah, I wanna go get it hot you not, I rock, they watch how I talk on the beat
Rhyming is sicker than Covid, a cough, so I often describe it as vomiting phrases
Timing is crazy, just look how I jot my thoughts on the line on the daily
I been walkin' away from the dark
Just wait 'til May end, the hours'll start to be changing
