Food For Thought
Isaiah Rashad Lyrics

I was singing my song for nobody
I was singing a song that no one seemed to care about or listen to

I'm like a Rolling Stone rolling stone
I'm like a stone that keeps rolling, constantly moving forward

And I'm the shit playa
I'm amazing and unbeatable

But don't flush your commode
But don't try to degrade me or disrespect me

And I hope you smell me
And I hope you understand the greatness and authenticity of my music

But this Polo cologne
Compared to my music, this cologne is nothing

Slamming doors like I got an attitude or something wrong
I seem angry and upset, but it's because I feel like the world is against me

It's like I'm switching cars the way I got them holding on to every word I spit like I got a lisp and it is hella strong
People are so entranced by my music and the way I deliver it that they are holding on to every word, as if they are switching cars or changing their minds constantly

Kicks like they came to play this off a house party
My music is so energetic and exciting that it sounds like it's from a party playlist

And you niggas look gay, like Jesse McCartney
And you guys look weak and impossibly effeminate

And to be real it wouldn't be logic to fuck with me, cause we on some Adele shit, we be rolling deep
To be honest, it doesn't make sense to challenge me or my team because we have a strong bond and won't back down

Your girl get mad when I pass and I don't even speak, prolly cause I got all up inside and was behind her teeth
Your girlfriend seems angry when I pass by, probably because I had a strong physical and emotional impact on her

I need a piece at least if I can't get the whole cake, cause I be going all in like a young Drake
I want to experience something, even if I can't have everything I want, because when I care about something, I invest all my effort into it, just like how Drake did when he was young

Yeah, you probably didn't get that like money
Yeah, you probably didn't understand that line like you would understand the value of money

Imma keep it real cause some liars don't do that
I'm going to be truthful and honest because some people aren't capable of doing that

And Imma blow cause I've seen a fucking fire do that
And I will become successful because I have seen that happen to many people before me

And Imma take a trick magicians be like how he do that?
And I will accomplish things that seem impossible, forcing people to wonder how I did it

And I be killing beats rappers be like why he do that?
And I excel at making music, making other rappers question how I can be so good at it

Bitches say I'm clean and I don't even try to dress
Women say I have a clean and attractive appearance even when I don't put in much effort to dress up

I could fuck her though but I ain't even tryna sex, I strong armed dude and I ain't gotta flex
I could sleep with her, but I don't have the need to do so - I am confident and strong enough without having to prove it

I spit profound shit that I could never lose, and I was better than half these dudes back in middle school
I make meaningful music that will never fail, and I was already more skilled than most other rappers when I was in middle school

And I remember days like this tapping out the whole world with a pen in my wrist freestyling in class I bet the teacher was pissed
I remember writing all day with a pen in my hand, bored in class, creating amazing freestyle music - the teacher was probably annoyed by me

I probably should've paid more attention, yeah i'm slick, but bitch I probably won't be like this no more
I should have paid more attention to school, but even though I'm clever and smooth right now, I know that I won't always be like this

I thunk outside the box and they won't let me back in that ho damn
I think differently and unconventionally, and now people won't accept me if I don't conform to their expectations

Yeah lounging with my feet up them lame motherfuckers drop their faces when they see us
Yeah, I'm relaxed and at ease, while those lame people feel insecure and inferior when they see me

We could play pretend them niggas still couldn't be us, back in Chattanooga still couldn't Tennessee us
We could imagine equality, but those people could never truly emulate our greatness - even back home, people are still in awe of our skills

It's conflict when I'm writing these rhymes, tryna fit my whole life up in thirty two lines
It's hard to summarize the entirety of my life and experiences in just thirty two lines

But I keep it real that's how it happened
But I stay truthful because that's how things really happened

The government gonna try to do me in like Fred Hampton, a black panther
The government is going to come after me and try to end my career, just like how they went after Fred Hampton, a black panther

Let's keep it real from the Hamptons, a penny saving, minimum wage is some shit, plantation slaves to the modern day
To be real, people in Hampton are dealing with poverty and oppression, a modern-day version of what plantation slaves went through

Swimming Frank Ocean, guns waving guns blazing filling in the holster all I need is some cake like a fuckin' Hostess
I'm trying to escape my problems and anxiety by listening to Frank Ocean, but the reality of violence and danger is always present - all I really want is something that will make me happy, like a Hostess cake

At a table can't eat, grab a fuckin' hostess
I seem like I'm okay and in control, but in reality, I'm anxious and distressed - grabbing a snack is one way to alleviate these feelings

Put my back against the wall like a fuckin' poster, put my money on the table like a fuckin' coaster
I'm in a corner right now, with nowhere to turn - metaphorically, I'm like a poster, backed up against the wall; literally, I'm nonchalantly placing my money on the table like it's a coaster

Who's better? You's better? That's fucking bogus
Who is better? You are? That's absolute crap

I got your bitch up in my sheets like a fuckin' toga
I have your girlfriend in my bed like a Greek toga

Positions in some shit, sexual yoga, master of that pussy, sexual Yoda
I'm great at sex, an expert - my skills are like a form of yoga; in fact, I'm so skilled at it that I'm like a sexual guru

Jedi mind tricks watch that nine dip, that's food for thoughts, 9 clips
My words are like powerful mental tricks that can make someone's mind shift; I'm using this skill in my music, which can be thought-provoking or cause you to lose your mind

Yeah all I need in this life is a bitch and a blunt, good head and cooked food is all a nigga want
Yeah, all I need in life is a girlfriend and a joint, along with good food and sex

I don't trust too many niggas, so my circle small, never let 'em hear my feelings only pussy involved
I don't trust a lot of people, so my friendship circle is small - I only share my feelings with my girlfriend or sexual partners

I know it's kinda cold but the fuck is you to judge me, the last time I fell in love, man I damn near lost me
I know it might seem harsh, but who do you think you are to criticize me? The last time I felt in love, it almost broke me

So I spit my feelings in these raps to get my feelings back, cause lately I been feeling lost stranded like I need map
So I express my emotions in my music to help me process them and regain some direction - lately, I have felt lost and directionless

Tired of the bullshit so I need a nap, I'm hungry for this music shit so I'm eating tracks
I'm tired of people's lies and negativity - I need a break so that I can rejuvenate and come back stronger than ever. I am pursuing my passion for music boldly and without hesitation

Flow hotter than anniversary candle wax, I'm feeling sorry for the competition cause they lack originality, imagination, and style
My rap game is hotter than a candle's wax at an anniversary celebration - I'm almost pitying my competitors because they don't have my level of skill, creativity, or individuality

I'm looking like a vet and you been at this for awhile, 21 years old, nigga no pressure
I have a veteran-like aura and skill set, despite only being 21 years old and having no pressure or external expectations

I cop your bitch with ease dog, I'm talking no effort
I steal your girlfriend effortlessly - I don't even have to try

Don't be mad at me, bruh, cause she chose greatness
Don't be upset with me - it's not my fault that your girlfriend recognizes my greatness and wants to be with me instead of you

It was long overdue cause you kept her waiting, she fell in love with my poetic flow and way with words, all this time you playing daddy but the kid ain't even yours
It's taken a long time for your girlfriend to realize that she wants me, but you can't blame her - she has fallen in love with my way with words. It's almost like you've been pretending to be her father, when really, you and your children are nothing to her
