[Verse 1: Intellegentz]
Yeah, uh
I never planned to be the man, I just landed in it
Always a burden as a kid, so I just ran with it
Always lookin' to fill a void, but my fans did it
Haters like, "Why him?" I guess I was the candidate
But I ain't perfect as much as I think I wanna be
That blessing is a curse, I can't let it take over all of me
Checks and balances, every day is a challenge
And knowledge don't come from college, this talent from our experience
What we've been through makes us who we turn into, yeah, ain't that the truth?
I remember being fourteen, walking in the Bronx scene down the block, looking lost
When some dudes roll up, try to fight, but I'm like hold up, then I spit a couple rhymes
And thanks to Eminem, he was blowin' up at the time
'Cause next thing I know, I was royalty in divine
I'm gettin' daps instead of gettin' slaps
Why, just 'cause I rap? Man, that's crazy and I'm sick of that
Twenty years later, still dealin' with that
Acceptance is overrated, my rich neighbors are whack
I'm just givin' the facts, still love gossipin' in the pack
They flakier than the sunburnt skin on my back
'Cause I don't fit 'em anymore and their Ivy League schools
And they think that I'm a fool, but it's fuel from the soul
'Cause I dress different, I act different, I wear my hats different
'Cause I'm mad different, look at these cats different
'Cause they were steady snorin' on, but they won't admit it
Catnip it while I found a way to bust my back different
After it's all said it done, what have we become?
No one can see it where they seated from
This is my kingdom come
Haters defeated, you should leave at once
If you can dream it, you can be it, just believe in one
[Chorus: Dennis]
This moment is an incidental
It's when they put the crown on me
Never knew it would be monumental, but I knew I had the sound in me
No, I'll never give up, try not to just give in
Take as much as you want, I'm not leavin' my land
I do this because I can, none of this was ever planned

[Verse 2: Dennis]
Yo, I feel like everybody's laughin' at me
Yo, the dude is thirty-five, his pants are saggin', plus his only passion's rappin'
Throwin' popcorn and cashews at me
It's like no matter what you doin', someone always gon' be mad you happy
That's why I keep to myself and I'm not around the spots we used to chill at
That's probably why I'm down a lot
I never figured out exactly how to play the game
But I stay true to myself, now can you say the same?
I'll let you take it over while I overheat this vocal
While I pump your speakers up with somethin' thoughtful, deep, and vocal
While I give you somethin' that I hope can mean much more to you
Than somethin' bumpin' from the radio, this I'm born to do
I see it now, said it before, but I believe it now
Don't let 'em rip apart a vision that you dream about
Do what you gotta do to get those evil demons out
And elevate until you lookin' down to see the clouds
And I'm just livin', carryin' out my mission
Tryin' to get this bread, but I got no stock in opinions
So thankfully what you think of me never enters my vision
You can do what you want, I'm just busy doin' Dennis
No matter what they have told me I never shifted a minute
I'm tryin' to leave a mark with this music that I invented
Been dealin' with people watchin' and judgin' from the beginnin'
A lot of them took a cold but the realist is what I'ma give 'em
I promise I never had nothing to prove to y'all
You suckers steady flippin' on me like some luchadores
Think what you will, but my children think I'm a superstar
And I'ma keep being the hero that they rootin' for
So why you clownin' me, speculatin' me, and doubtin' me?
Sittin' up on your horses and thinkin' you looking down on me
You may wanna focus your vision to the balcony
Wouldn't want you to miss it when they put the crown on me
[Chorus: Dennis]
This moment is an incidental
It's when they put the crown on me
Never knew it would be monumental, but I knew I had the sound in me
No, I'll never give up, try not to just give in
Take as much as you want, I'm not leavin' my land
I do this because I can, none of this was ever planned
This moment is an incidental
It's when they put the crown on me
Never knew it would be monumental, but I knew I had the sound in me
No, I'll never give up, try not to just give in
Take as much as you want, I'm not leavin' my land
I do this because I can, none of this was ever planned
