Standing Ovation
Dean Wynton Josiah Cover, Simbiatu Abisola Abiola Ajikawo
Why the desperate need for an applause? I'll wait
Is she the GOAT here? Well, it's safe to assume
Everybody panic when I step in the room
And I can feel that shit a mile off
Niggas is rapping about pieces
People are really dying, is that what's needed?
I can't save your soul you need Jesus
tell me please, why the desperate need to be remembered?
Everybody knowing what you've done, how far you've come
I'm guilty, it's a little self-centered
People change when it's about personal gain
I stay in my lane 'cause I'm not done with the checks
Give me what I deserve and not speak on the rest
Don't know what has occurred, then do not aimlessly guess
It's a gift and a curse to be this pretty and blessed
(Blessed, blessed, blessed) so blessed
Used to plug that, twenty pound mic into the back of the Mac (Mac, Mac)
Just so you can hear my voice
Always knew this was my calling but I'm here by choice
And things change
Shit been dark for a minute I'm (blessed, blessed, blessed)
Delirious, it's hard to function on this winner's time
Mouths to feed, my nigga (blessed, blessed, blessed)
Scripts to read, my nigga
Double life, living overseas, my nigga, shit
Left home for it
Jasmine just had a daughter, man, she's so gorgeous
Told me life is giving life and I'm so for it, maybe one day
Nothing's more important and family's where the love stays
Dealing with society's pressures is one thing
Let alone all of the problems that funds bring, but no stress
Understand it comes with the process
I follow my intuition 'cause it knows best
I'm so used to getting it on my own, yes
I know my people wanna see me win
I'll never let you down
Standing ovation for the one who's wearing the crown
I got royalty In my blood, I was born great
Don't allow anyone to undermine your fate
You've awoken the fearless
High beams and lucid dreams
Don't be so obsessed with me
You think you know what's best for me
Take my energy, come to find there's nothing left of me
Went from being small time to becoming my own entity
Went from being broke as fuck and trying to find identity
To buying the finer things and isolating memories
What is it I'm meant to be?
I think I need a standing ovation
Over ten years in the game, I been patient
God has always told me to be myself
Let go and free yourself
Tell the truth, I shamed Satan
Know I gotta pave the way for the next generation
That's coming up under me and I love to see it
Thought I was bluffing, didn't see it it coming
Hold up, think this is cold? You ain't see nothing
The glow up, all they discussing
But I don't let it distract me
Load the pen up, cock it back and get to bussin'
Standing up to who? I make the scene lie down
Get it how I live it, how it be's right now
I got another twenty in this shit, I'm cemented
Take over businesses, tell the kids start investing
We built the pyramids, can't you see what we are blessed with?

Why the desperate need for an applause? I'll wait
Por que essa necessidade desesperada de aplausos? Eu vou esperar
Is she the GOAT here? Well, it's safe to assume
Ela é a melhor de todos os tempos aqui? Bem, é seguro assumir
Everybody panic when I step in the room
Todo mundo entra em pânico quando eu entro na sala
And I can feel that shit a mile off
E eu posso sentir isso a uma milha de distância
Niggas is rapping about pieces
Os caras estão rimando sobre peças
People are really dying, is that what's needed?

I can't save your soul you need Jesus
Eu não posso salvar sua alma, você precisa de Jesus
tell me please, why the desperate need to be remembered?
me diga por favor, por que a necessidade desesperada de ser lembrado?
Everybody knowing what you've done, how far you've come
Todo mundo sabendo o que você fez, o quão longe você chegou
I'm guilty, it's a little self-centered
Eu sou culpado, é um pouco egocêntrico
People change when it's about personal gain
As pessoas mudam quando se trata de ganho pessoal
I stay in my lane 'cause I'm not done with the checks
Eu fico na minha faixa porque ainda não terminei com os cheques
Give me what I deserve and not speak on the rest
Me dê o que eu mereço e não fale sobre o resto
Don't know what has occurred, then do not aimlessly guess
Não sabe o que aconteceu, então não adivinhe sem rumo
It's a gift and a curse to be this pretty and blessed
É um dom e uma maldição ser tão bonito e abençoado
(Blessed, blessed, blessed) so blessed
(Abençoado, abençoado, abençoado) tão abençoado
Used to plug that, twenty pound mic into the back of the Mac (Mac, Mac)

Sempre soube que isso era minha vocação, mas estou aqui por escolha
And things change
E as coisas mudam

I know my people wanna see me win
Eu sei que meu povo quer me ver vencer
I'll never let you down
Eu nunca vou te decepcionar

You think you know what's best for me
Você acha que sabe o que é melhor para mim
Take my energy, come to find there's nothing left of me
Pegue minha energia, venha descobrir que não sobrou nada de mim
Went from being small time to becoming my own entity
Fui de ser pequeno a me tornar minha própria entidade
Went from being broke as fuck and trying to find identity
Fui de estar quebrado pra caralho e tentando encontrar identidade
To buying the finer things and isolating memories
Para comprar as coisas mais finas e isolar memórias
What is it I'm meant to be?
O que eu deveria ser?
I think I need a standing ovation
