Looking for Me

from Inner Thoughts by Mfasis

/

lyrics

I heard they're looking for me

A recipe for disaster's what they cooking for me

And I don't wanna hang unless you booking homie

And my shows ain't free I ain't a rookie homie

So don't take me for one



No sponsor, just work and strategy

I will conquer casually

I go bonkers and spazz on the beat

Don't care if you get mad at me

They mad that my focus is my business

They want to get close so they can flip like gymnast

I reached out last year and got a cold shoulder

Now they're getting rolled over

A roster's not be the best place for me

I don't need you to make a plate for me

They wouldn't make space for me

Now I'm elbowing through the fray and breaking free, BREAKING FREE!



I heard they're looking for me

A recipe for disaster's what they cooking for me

And I don't wanna hang unless you booking homie

And my shows ain't free I ain't a rookie homie

So don't take me for one

You get the most hate from those who feel threatened by you

The end goal is where I have my eyes glued

I'm skeptical whenever they slide through

Talking out they ass, I'm better off taking hair advice from Caillou

Every critique has been thrown in my direction

Never given a fair chance to begin with

soon they'll want redemption

May not have the whole plan mapped out

But I won't crap out

They turned their backs, now their back

Cause I proved that I'm a cash cow!

They mad I circumvented the industry and most of the serpents in it

My enemies make it their purpose to curse my business

I'm free to make art, in the lab becoming the perfect chemist

They rather the talent be Indebted for years

Throw me under the bus and laugh while I'm shedding the tears

 I heard the industry and hell is one in the same

the yin to my yang

No wonder my art is reckless but tame

I'm flooded with flames

Future artists will study my game



I heard they're looking for me

A recipe for disaster's what they cooking for me

And I don't wanna hang unless you booking homie

And my shows ain't free I ain't a rookie homie

So don't take me for one





Can't trust the veterans, they steady looking for new heat to leach off

They don't appreciate their beach homes

They still crave attention new artist get on each song

They won't give a hand unless a benefit for them is clear

But then expect you to save their career

They're leveraging clout against kids who mostly have melanin

So many young talents I wish were my peers are skeletons

They've been chewed up and spat out, then flat out have to let it settle in

I'm ready to handle whatever reality has to offer

My story has more twist than a plot from the best authors

Married to the game, confess my love at the altar

I gave my all to the culture

I rise to the occasion and relish in the moment

Opponents try to clone this but don't own it their attempts sound phoned in

That's what you get for trying to keep up with the Jones'

God given gift sent to my dome makes it easy to have all this soul sowed in

I'm the COLDEST!



I heard they're looking for me

A recipe for disaster's what they cooking for me

And I don't wanna hang unless you booking homie

And my shows ain't free I ain't a rookie homie

So don't take me for one
