I swear on my mama this one for real though
It's like i just wanna thank the people that
Been with me from the rip ha
Yeah yeah

I just wanna thank the people that
Been with me from the rip
You're the reason that I made
It through this shit
Y'all the only fucking reason that I'm
Tryna write a hit and
Get a crib that's big enough
To just move everybody in
I been grindin' through the night and
When I stop to have a
Bite I feel guilty cause I know
Y'all relyin' on my grind
I made a promise that I'd work
Till I got everything I dreamed
Then I passed it on to y'all
Because you are who believed

I been doin' something
I been doin' something
I been doin' something
And I'm doin' it for y'all
I been doin' something
I been doin' something
I been doin' something, so everyone can ball
Till we fall or we get the
Call Imma shake the walls
You're the reason that I'm doing this at all
Y'all my fucking people
Yeah, y'all my fucking people
Yeah, y'all my fucking people

I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my family
I promise I won't change
I'll drink my whiskey out my
Grammy when I get it
Y'all are coming with me to the top
Because the view from up
There don't mean shit
If I'm the only one who saw
I been pourin' all my feelings on
These records and I know
This shit is great because y'all
Don't let me forget it
When I make Imma still respond
To every single message
I ain't building up a fan base
I'm just working on my friendships

I been doin' something
I been doin' something
I been doin' something
And I'm doin' it for y'all
I been doin' something
I been doin' something
I been doin' something, so everyone can ball
Till we fall or we get the
Call Imma shake the walls
You're the reason why I'm doing this at all
Y'all my fucking people
Man, y'all my fucking people
Damn, y'all my fucking people

From the bottom of my heart the art
I make is all for you
What's the reason for a gift if you
Don't have anyone to give it to? Enjoy it
Hope it helps you through the
Nights when you are lonely
And if no one hit's you up
Let my music be your homie
It's the only thing I had when I
Was going through my own shit
Tryna buy some happiness
I knuckled up and sold shit
I'm doing everything I can so hold
In there till I get it
The greatest moments ever come when
You least expect it

I been doin' something
I been doin' something
I been doin' something
And I'm doin' it for y'all
I been doin' something
I been doin' something
I been doin' something, so everyone can ball
Till we fall or we get the
Call Imma shake the walls
You're the reason that I'm doing this at all
Y'all my fucking people
Man, y'all my fucking people
Yeah, y'all my fucking people
Y'all my fucking people
You been with me from the rip
Y'all my fucking people
Y'all the reason that I made
It through this shit
Till we ball or we get the
Call Imma shake the walls
Imma shake the fuckin' walls

The great thing is is that he can’t get cancelled bc he writes, records, and produces his own songs. He’s solo

@Anonymous-rx9lp

Like Prince, but straight off the ghetto!

@rahlap2449

If they ban him on social media and a couple of other platforms he would be cancelled. Doubt they do it tho.

@DarthQuaint

@rah lap they are making way too much money off of his views on Spotify to ever think about canceling him. Same for YouTube, though he has to censor his songs with curse words and Donald Trump's name in it.

@jeffb5192

Youre shitting me, they're censoring Trumps name in shit?

@danielwill4306

You do realize he’s backed by Eminem right

We need more of these independent rappers... He speaks truths.

@kaseycrooks5080

WORD 💯

@liminary__

bro you don't even listen to rap, do you?

@Frost-ze6rw

I’m an 82 year old autistic virgin who usually doesn’t like rap music, but my grandchildren showed me this Tom fellow and I actually have to say it’s amazing. He says things that everyone else is afraid to say, and he’s not a mumble crapper. Keep spreading these amazing messages Tom!
