R.A.E Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sumn like Crisco popping out the pan
Love to San Francisco, West to the East coast
Bumping this beat then bring it on back
It goes sumn like this, ball up my fists
Hands on the mic when I'm talking my shit
I wish I could be Preemo, but I'm swinging on the hats
Who's that Filipino, yeah, killing on the track
And as the time I passed, I stopped moving gung ho, but fuck it
Goes sumn like this, sumn like that
Sumn like Crisco popping out the pan
Love to San Francisco, West to the East coast
Bumping this beat then bring it on back
I kept in on the DL, I kept it off the main
Did excel and e-mails for labels that don't pay
Don't listen, don't care, don't miss 'em, won't play
School made me feel unviable with what I made
My hero loved my raps and he said it to my face
Was on the verge of quitting when I threw away my shame
Felt my worth, my heart felt a turn
5 years in somebody felt my words
So there's no concerns, I never feel like kicking all my shit to the curb
Uh, it goes sumn like this

School made me feel unviable with what I made
School made me doubt the worth of my creations
My hero loved my raps and he said it to my face
Someone I admire praised my raps directly
Was on the verge of quitting when I threw away my shame
I was close to giving up, but I let go of my insecurities
Felt my worth, my heart felt a turn
I realized my value, and it brought a change in my emotions
5 years in somebody felt my words
After five years, someone finally connected with my lyrics
So there's no concerns, I never feel like kicking all my shit to the curb
I have no worries, I never feel like abandoning all my work
Uh, it goes sumn like this
Uh, this is how it goes
