Say
Cough Cough Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was always told opinions are like assholes
Everybody has one
They Say
You will never make anything bro it ain’t no way
I say ok
Oh hey by the way
Who the fuck is they
They They
They Say
I will never break in the game cuz I’m lame & I’m strange
I will never change I’m a stay in my lane
Do my own thang who the fuck is they
They They
They Say
You will never make anything bro it ain’t no way
I say Ok
Oh hey by the way
Who the fuck is they
They They
They Say
I will never break in the game cuz I’m lame & I’m strange
I will never change I’m a stay in my lane
Do my own thang who the fuck is they
They say
I don’t give fuck if they hate cuz I’m making my way
No pain no gain
All they wanna do is throw shade but your boy don’t break
No way Jose
All I wanna do is get paid while I stay in my lane
Fight through the pain even though I feel drained
I’m kicking down doors like a motherfucking raid
Mayday
Make way for a man on a mission
I’m a soldier but I will never stand at attention
While they yakking and dissing trying to slander my vision
Cuz I’m trying to get my fam in a mansion with millions
Ain’t nobody ever gave me shit
These other artists ain’t real bro they fake as shit
I reached out trying to link and they played me then
But when I blow up bigger bet they try to make amends
And I’m a say fuck y’all
I ain’t got no love y’all should’ve took advantage when you had the chance
But I ain’t really motivated by revenge
And it’s enough room here for us all to win
So I wish you best of luck
I know I might sound mad but I ain’t pressed too much
Especially by a scrub like you cuz I know what y'all do
And I really ain’t impressed too much
Plus another one’s opinion never meant too much
So I don't let it fuck with my mental much
Trying not to get it stuck in your head is tough
But I’m a rebel never settle I’m a level up
I developed the thickest skin the cold blistering
Especially here in Michigan
But I’m used 2 the shit so I move thru the shit like a fucking penguin
Bitch I came to win
They Say
You will never make anything bro it ain’t no way
I say Ok
Oh hey by the way
Who the fuck is they
They They
They Say
I will never break in the game cuz I’m lame & I’m strange
I will never change I’m a stay in my lane
Do my own thang who the fuck is they
They They

They Say
I will never break in the game cuz I’m lame & I’m strange
I will never change I’m a stay in my lane
Do my own thang who the fuck is they
Tell me who the fuck is they
Matter fact fuck that I don’t care anyway
I’m grinding everyday til I’m carried away
Body every beat cuz I use my brain
I remember thinking I’m a waste of space
Bridge card recipient on Medicaid
Quit my J-O-B no 401K
Every bill late paid a high ass rate
For insurance so I only got the 7 day
Only good enough to get my plate
Sitting in the stands wishing I was in the game
Sipping malt liquor while they pop Champagne
But I ain’t got time to complain
Got goals to obtain
Got shows to arrange
And the flow's too insane to remain unknown it’s a shame
How I’m close to the fame
But I’m not quite there
I was always told life is not quite fair
So I stayed prepared for the rain and I share
All my pain on the bass and the snare
In the basement I stare
At the screen on my Mac and my back's so inflamed that it flares
Cuz I stayed in my chair for hours at a time
Volume maxed out gotta crank it it blares
So loud thru the house that my girl told me turn that shit down
Cuz my son’s trying to sleep
Then I called up Stefan like please oh please lemme get another beat
Whatchu need
I don’t care just make that mothafucka beat
I’m a get up out the street if it kills me I need to be seen
I’m a man but I feel like a machine
On auto pilot they be all like stop it trying to talk me out it
But I’m not a quitter so I never even thought about it
Got my head up in the sky I’m never falling out it
They was calling me a loser and they all would doubt it
So I had to write a song about it
They Say
Man fuck what they say they was wrong about it
Got my head up in the sky I’m never falling out it
They was calling me a loser and they all would doubt it
So I had to write a song about it
They say
Man fuck what they say they was wrong about it
Hahahahahaha
Told you I'd get the last laugh




Never let anybody talk you out of your dreams
Peace
