Rapsody - Cleo lyrics

To my real ones that know, this ain't for you
To  my enemies, it's still love all day
Everybody's  still growing and
Learning themselves, right?
My true story,  yo

Pondering, pondering how to approach
Some  of y'all sensitive
But y'all still need to know (yeah)
Wonder  how a bunch of sheep can
Have opinions on a GOAT (How?)
We all on the same continent
And off the same boat (Right)
Remember  early on
Y'all ain't treat me all the same though
(Uh, huh) used to question why the brothers
Even rocked with me for (Uh)
'Member y'all wondered
Used to wonder 'bout Wonder
Question why they'd ever wanna
Push a black woman
Niggas  on my label who ain't want
Me in the front end
Some sisters in the industry
Y'all know y'all was frontin' (I know it)
Dressed too tomboy, rap too lyrical
(You said it) i can say more
The pain would bring a few tears to you
(Hurt) i shed a few
Was booed bad in Fort Lauderdale (Uh)
Now I'm boo'd up
They boohoo 'cause I didn't fail
Know who you are, I was told names
Never tell
The weight that I carried those summers
I'm never frail
Now they say I ain't elite (Who are they?)
On to the next i don't take time to address
Opinions that ain't 9th, Dre, or Jay-Z
(Right) only rap radars I need are
Them and the streets (Right)
Be careful, the validations y'all seek
(Uh, huh) i been in them offices
They don't look like you and me (They don't)
I've been in offices that they look like me
I learned lessons 'bout my
Essence and this industry (Uh)
Y'all banked on the wrong ones
Wasted your energy (You did)
Lost more interest
Got me laughin' at my enemies
Every door you close, every back you turn
(Uh, huh)
Can't keep me away from the life I earned
(You can't keep it) my rock bottom still the
High life y'all yearn (It is)
What ain't given, I had to take my turn
(Give me that)
Came back, more ammo, like Cleo to burn
Blaow, blaow, blaow, nigga, burn

We ain't forgot about them shots, jack
They gon' be mad when I squeeze back
Money talk, bullshit walk, you dig?
If you aim, you better squeeze
Real ones multiply, chump niggas bleed
You feel me?
We ain't forgot about them shots, jack
They gon' be mad when I squeeze back
You can bank on that nigga
Two five two 'comin live from
The booger boo basement
For the big faces, nigga

Yo, let's keep it a whole G
And talk about it upfront (Talk)
The best, point blank, period, every month
(Talk) the goals been lowered and we
Still scared to dunk (Talk)
Y'all don't want no smoke, half
The squad roll blunts, hold up
Enough braggin', let's talk about the baggin'
(yeah) talk about the money
Who in this business they staffin'?
(Uh, huh) who milk the cows but they
Never put a calf in (Tell it)
White men run this
They don't want this kind of passion (Talk)
A black woman story
They don't want this kind of rapping (Talk)
They love a fantasy
They love the gun bang action (Talk)
What good is a black women to them? (yeah)
Raped us in slavery, they raping us again
(Yes)
Only put us on TV if our titties jiggling
(Uh) jay tried to give us Tidals
And we giggling at him (Damn shame)
But we ain't peeped the funny shit they doing
(Crazy) chitlin circuit
Mom and pop stores been ruined (Crazy)
'Cause we ain't wanna share the
Profit we was all movin'
Now it's pennies on pennies
That don't make sense do it? (Dollars)
We gotta stick together more than we has been
(Yes, we do) beefin' with each other while
They get rich laughing (Come on, bruh)
Mmh, that's a no no (It is)
Bust my way through like Cleo with the ammo
(Baow)
On my own terms, I'ma take what's mine
Singin' day after day, you can sing that line
(Like Cleo)

We ain't forgot about them shots, jack
They gon' be mad when I squeeze back
And that's a fact, nigga
You see we came up, got our change up
But we ain't change up
In a world full of fake niggas
Still remain us
We ain't forgot about them shots, jack
They gon' be mad when I squeeze back
Real rap forever
Showin' love to all my strong black queens
You dig? Fuck what you heard, bow down
Or get shot down, nigga

Money (Money, money, money) get your money
Get the money, money better get your money
Get the money, money
Money (Money, money, money)
Gotta get your money get the money, money
Better get your money get the money, money
Money i remember, don't worry
How could I ever forget?
It's the first time
The last time we ever met well, I reme-
