No Glory Ft Taint

Taint/
There was a time when I felt like wealth 
all I needed under my belt, 
like why the f*** do I care, 
look at this Gucci I wear, 
like a movie directed by Luci, 
I’ve become less a begger and more choosy, 
the center of my own world, and I unfurled, 
all the time I spent, 
where f*** I went, giving one hundred percent, 
on earth between a ferment, 
I’m trapped inside, right beside sin, 
Divided by greed, 
why did I agree, 
to envy the clout, about how everyone else 
has no brain cells, but their s*** sells, 

Rebeltease/
Truth be told I came up from the gutter 
(metaphorically speaking) 
nah just being cheeky 
but never smooth as butta 
makes me shutter 
I never been sneaky 
I worked hard for my respect 
and yea I can still flex 
I just do it correct see

Taint/
I been hanging with rebel tease, 
oh please, oh jeez,  
I might just be your next trainee,
 like teach me nothing original just a fictional idea 
I mean something. 
The reality is I’m a wannabe, 
this rap game is a fantasy,
 so everyone can chastise 
me, so give me the clout, 
fishing, hook out my mouth, 
swimming,  winning.
 
Rebtease/
At times it sucks to be me 
but I can fully agree 
with the fact that my respects 
distract cause I see those stars in ya eyes 
wanna be like me 
Yea a trainee now, 
a tease in the making ??
 oh wow, please 
but the clout 
it ain’t cut out to 
be what you see the critics 
you can never appease geez 
Here’s the true story...
ain’t no glory in my story 
it’s a predatory 
world out here none give 
congratulatory telegrams 
like you become an animal 
watching ya territory 
nah see ain’t no glory here!
but if ya want it come get it 

Taint/
Laugh at my jokes, 
I know it provokes, 
to see me get rich, 
which b**** gonna diss next,
 I’m dying Hysterically,
 because I’m not a ing charity, 
remember I’m selfish,
 quite devilish, who am I to Cherish, 
when everything will perish

Rebeltease/
honestly consciously 
times I wish I wasn’t so good 
I say that modestly 
hope ya wasn’t looking for a comradely 
because to be real that straight comedy 
but you right all will parish 
when it comes ta the light but cherish what you can 
find reason to fight don’t sell your soul 
just know there’s no guarantees in life
