Dan F. Man - Hold Up Wait A Minute

I'm like hold up wait a minute
Let me get it
I'm winning this game
Home run hit in the Pennet
Did it all independent
Droppin' tracks from a distance
On yo Head y'all'
Bet I make yo head nod
Waited for a while
Now I'm like hold up wait a second
All the mistakes that I made
Were just lessons
So now I can preach and reach
All of my brethren
Who wanna make an investment
Into your music ya stepping
Into something that better pay attention to
Gang gang gang
You might say it and it sound real cool
But when you in the industry
How many units can you move
They'll put you on the shelf collecting dust
Until you pay ya dues so hold up wait
Just give me a second before you cut this off
Cause I ain't rappin' bout weapons
Or my chain drip
We been in chains since the slave ship
Now all we talk about
Is how many whips can you get
All that I'm saying is young brother
Just sit and listen a bit
This is artist development
If you brush me off
Then you'll be where I been
Makin' songs about a big body Benz
That you ain't never had
Ya better off making songs
That'll make yo momma glad
Instead she talking bout cut it off
I don't wanna hear it all
But when you making music from your heart
That problem solved
Hold up wait just a minute
How could I tell you all of this if I ain't did it
Just think of me as a prophet
Giving you a prediction
That its hard to get fame
Even harder once you get it
We often fantasize
But could we handle what's envisioned
I just say define success for you
And go the distance
Hold up wait pause are you serious
I really don't wanna be famous
Not even curious
I'm just doin' this now
Cause my knowledge need to be dropped
And what a better way for you to learn
While hearing the beat drop
Once upon a time there was a little boy
His name don't really matter
The matter of the fact
Is that he want to be a rapper
Started singing every song he heard
Like he made em'
He really didn't know
That this was perfect training
He started thinking bout
What he would he do when he made it
He had big dreams with no plans
No guidance supporting him
Nobody knew where he was tryna go
Cause they ain't never been there
This is big business ya momma not here
You still wanna be rapper ok then come here
I'll teach what you need to know
But hold up wait you better know
That everybody don't care about ya
Don't take it personal
Just stay under my wing
And we gone fly right off the pedestal
This kid got potential
This kid spit flame
That's what they be saying
When they hear Lil Dan
But big Dan F. Man
Is like hold up wait a minute
I'm giving em' something
That I didn't get when I did it
That's a realistic picture of success defined
You might have to wait a minute
Just for you to show up right on time
This story is for you
And I hope that you find it
Rewind it
Dissect every line find the silver lining
I want you to hold up wait a second
Plan it out
Perseverance keeps you consistent
And yes you'll find this out
Hold up wait think about it
You just need what you got
So you already done found it
You resonant in a way
That is really so astounding
So if you wanna make it
Just figure out where you making to
Support ya self
And know who's there to help
And don't get it confused
Take ya time to think
Cause could decide if you win or you lose
This song for everybody
Making music that we gone consume
All I wanna do is tell you to put your heart in
This song is the starter package
To start it
