XV - Be there, be square lyrics

rate me

Yeah!

Vizzy! Popular Culture!

Ay, Xaphoon you crazy!

Yeah!

See my grandma she would always tell me, set out to be something, not someone. You’ll figure you out

I used to rap like Mase, back in 9-8

With a bubble goose and black pager strapped to my waist

Acting like Harlem was a half a mile ‘way

Them niggas at the mom and pop would laugh in my face

Forgot I was a dude from a very small place

Smallville fills, mama brought me my cape

Said if they call you a square, don’t get bent out of shape

Let them gay niggas hate boy ‘cause you gon’ be straight

Yea, I used to rap like Biggie

But I wasn’t from Brooklyn and weighed less than 150

Shoveled snow to get Versace, girls still didn’t dig me

I was like Dwayne Wayne if he didn’t have Whitley

Bobby without Whitney, Stooges without Iggy

Mickey without Disney, in other words I ain’t fit me

So that lasted long as the braids on 50

I decided to be myself even if they didn’t get me

I’ma

[Hook] X2

Be there, be square

And I’ma see y’all when you get here

Let me see them L7’s in the air

Let me see them L7’s in the air

I used to rap like Hov before I got signed

High school talent shows, throw up the Roc sign

Pouring liquor on hoes, sipping on white wine

‘Til I realized that whole life was not mine

I never seen Jigga play Chrono Trigger

Sneak out the house just to go out and skateboard with his niggas

Tell me if his favorite Nirvana song is Sliver

Cut down the family tree, I just can’t relate to you niggas

So I speak for those who are not spoken for

On Twitter and Bossip, gossiping if I’m gonna blow

I’m on they heels, they probably wearing open toes

Sold out shows across the globe, my label barely even knows

You watch a throne, I just see a chair

And a crown that I’ma get and not even wear

‘Cause before I got on, they didn’t seem to care

So I said fuck yo circle, I’ma be a square

[Hook] X4
