I've got a tough time accepting love
Cause I don't feel like I deserve it like that
Reciprocation is a push and shove
What you give me I'll probably give it right back
So many people say they fuck with me
Still I feel I don't deserve luxury
I guess the game just don't mean much to me
My biggest struggles
I'm too humble to succeed and
I don't know why I'm so reluctant
To let good things happen to me
I don't ask for shit
And that's exactly why I get
What?
Nothing at all
I can't do everything by myself
I need to ask for somebody's help
A closed mouth don't get fed
And that's exactly why I get
What?
Nothing at all
All my achievements are products of people
Who set aside egos
Deciding instead that they'd work for me
Even though
Most of the work that they did was for free though
Cause I can't have no cash
But I had they backs
So I ain't feel shy
Looked them right in the eye
Like a stand up guy and asked
Will you do this as a favor?
Promise I'll repay you later
We just shook hands we ain't put it on paper
Then they delivered like finishing labor
But I'm Los Angeles
I've been taking for granted my advantages
Like I don't feel like I am the shit
Goddamnit man I've got a chance with this
So I don't know why I'm so reluctant
To ask for what they won't hand me
I need you to come to my show today
So I can save your seat at the Grammies
Yo my fans I treat like family
And this family is gonna keep expanding
Imma shake a bunch hands
Make a buncha fans
Then make them fall in love with me
And keep them jamming
But it's up to me
To be the someone that I'd love to be
Nobody's just coming up to me
Saying "pardon me, but do you sell CDs?"
Aye
Imma get out of my way
I'm in control of my fate
Imma put work in today
So I can be famous and no longer got to say that
I don't know why I'm so reluctant
To let good things happen to me
I don't ask for shit
And that's exactly why I get
What?
Nothing at all
I can't do everything by myself
I need to ask for somebody's help
A closed mouth don't get fed
And that's exactly why I get
What?
Nothing at all
