Joell Ortiz - Rap Millionaire lyrics

If I dropped a few bars out of thin air
Would you care?
Would the air feel like it's thinning?
Anticipating what you gon' hear?
Would it break the internet and
Get a million shares? Same way it do for
These popular rap millionaires?

Probably not
Lucky I don't do this so that I be hot
I do this for those who pick
Foreman and know how Ali box
But never say that shit to my grill
Throwing body shots
And none of you pussies can kill me
(I'll throw Irv Gotti knot?)
Trust me I bump into these rappers
Y'all think is barred up
They see me and get hit by Polaris
Yeah they be star-struck
Say that me and them should
Collaborate on a raw cut
And then, all of them become Oregon men
They all duck
I'm used to the stories, I get it
''Joell, I'm busy, my new record is spinning
So much that it got me dizzy and I'm
'Bout to hit the road for a
Minute I'm on my grizzly
And I'm barely in your city''
Translation you a grizzly
I can't bear hearing you tear
Me into little pieces
On my beats so bear with
Me 'cause I'm scared silly
And my manager handles my brand care-freely
(I'm weird really
I'm hair fully?) like my beard Philly

Honestly I'm not sure if I even made it yet
I don't got the Spotify
Or Google Play connect
The cool label rep that lifts a
Phone and then creates a check
I just make sure the bars stay
Correct enough to break ya neck
Lot of major artists want to
Trade fame for respect
You'd be surprised with the names in my texts
If you gave to your left
I'd want to text a nigga back like
''Fuck a rap list, you fucking on an actress
'Til that cash hit and pay my taxes, shiiit''
I used to trap singles
I had the metro booming before the
Future of rap was trap singles
And to homeboy talking you on my radar
You hang with A&Rs
My dudes hang clips from ARs
The rap I'm a fan of took a backseat
For a few years now
It's been all forefronting
Gloryfing abusing controlled substances
I'm trying to help good
Substance control the forefront
Rapping was tough, what happened to us?
My playback button was busted on
The back of the bus
The black Maxwell full of rap
I'd fast-forward so much and flip it over
Rewind was a extra couple of bucks
I know I'm, showing my age in a game
That throw away legends
But ask me if I'm scared
You hear what I hear
How could fear interfere with
This fearsome talent?
I'll sit you down like a chair on Wayfair
I'm way too unfair
Every word you heard 'em speak I heard
I'm like ''Word? He a nerd
This verse deep? Absurd''
Got some nerve, sound like he rehearsed me
I be the first to call him weak
Before the world dickrides his first week
I wish everybody kept it a hundred
I wish every DJ played what he wanted
I'd be a superstar in a PJ
Not dude from the PJs
One signed to a superstar
But, it's cool 'cause I got
Nothing to prove to y'all
I ride for myself like a Uber car
Fuck who you are made my way in the game
With the flames cooking
I'm saying me and my gang made
A name but I claim Brooklyn
Solo or group, alone or a crew
Same port of rock in the picture
Pick a photo to shoot
I know every cameraman, tell him to point
Let's go boy, I was on that Freshman
Cover ten joints ago
I ride the ferry every morning
From Jersey into Manhattan
And sit with the 9 to 5ers
Don't none of them know I'm rapping
Except for the real ones who got
A true love for HipHop
You know the ones that don't do Love & HipHop
