Thinking Out Loud (feat. Branche)

I'm coming up clean and dangerous
Keep your comments and mind your business
Not tryna flex to impress I'll keep my head down and a safe distance
I'm done bending over backwards for all these plastic trappers
I know I matter and I'm setting higher standards for all these slackers
Don't you think I know what we're worth considering all your back and forth
Why you gotta go slamming front doors and your words coming at me like a double edge sword
No katana, strictly for trauma, cutting me open in my Preme pajamas
Watch me bleed out better snap a panorama, stuff me in the back with your other closet dramas

I know you've been hearing my name
I know you'll be screaming my name
Wanna take a look inside my arcade?
Take a shot but I'll win with my brigade
Check my long list of gold achievements
Been playing the game, no way to beat it
But when I signed the agreement I thought my lawyer said there wouldn't be any secrets

I'll draw 4 and make an UNO then I'll skip you like a virtuoso
If you changing colors then you're a fucking loco
I don't take no kudos from you fake ass culos
Question my integrity, for you, is a new low
Considering the people I know that you know
Reversing to the past when I had some persistence
Can't forget the way you ruined my existence
Had to share your opinion on my appearance
Got me thinking we were in a different position
Constantly changing you couldn't make decisions
Tryna conversate but you were so dismissive
Fuck the haters who don't fuck with the vision
I control the pages but the rest is written
The signs say I'll shine so I hope you'll listen
Before I'm laid to rest and the rest is a given

I know you've been hearing my name
I know you'll be screaming my name
I spit foulness, can't complain
Your dude's iPod only plays Coldplay
Fuck getting my education
It's leaving me exasperated
But damn, guess I need it
I got so many aspirations

My AP classes kept me hard at work but I ain't stay passive
I ain't aggressive but don't lemme feel any bit offended or threatened
I only get passive aggressive only when I'm starting to get a lil bit obsessive
So give me your hands, gimme your attention
I'm going far I'm more than progressive
Your boy toy got nothing on me he hit snooze
He sweating cus he got something to prove
That he won't lose but I'm the new dude that's getting her nudes
I see you homeboy chillin on a Super Nintendo while I'm on a Gameboy
Goddamn, that's a cool noise
Your girl squirted on me and it wasn't even my choice

I know you've been hearing my name
I know you'll be screaming my name
Don't you wanna see who I've became
Nah, seems like you only wanna dish blame
Fuck being a side piece
Gotta only focus on making my beats
We're wildin' out, young Kyle and me
Cus we gotta 2018 release

I'm a dope boy but I'm not on the block
Travel violation do not walk with the rock
Take a trip through my mind and you'll feel all this pain
I don't like to hang out they got bitch in their veins
It's DIY style we do it ourselves
And I came a long way from me stocking the shelves
Now we out to LA try to capture the wealth
Got my poker face on play the hand you were dealt
Better buckle up and better know that
We chase it chase it
Strange people lookin at me makin' faces
Famous they wanna be A-list but really that's heinous shameless
Walk in the game no face and I'm nameless
Ima walk out this shit just like greatness
Racing to the white faces, racist
You know that we evolve but we are never changing
