(Fuck you) shut yo' ass up

Dedicated to the haters, the non-believers, and the disgruntled
Oh nah, I don't want you to leave
I want you to stay right here and watch tyler rise to the top
It feels better that way

Been a minute, please just stay
Please don't go, please just stay
Please don't go, please just stay
Please don't go, please just stay (watch what come next)
Please don't go, please just stay
Please don't go, yeah, please just stay
Please don't go, yeah, please just stay
Please don't go (you know my style)

When I rise to the top
Tellin' you right now
Tellin' you right now
I'll show you something
When I rise to the top
Tellin' you right now
As crazy as that sound
Oh, I'll show you something (you might as well get comfortable)

I said
Niggas want they merit (yeah)
Mr. Cash flow, shawty want some credit (ah, yeah)
Ah, nigga, you should be embarrassed (yeah)
You ain't the only nigga that be in paris (ah, yeah)
This shit dead, no need for paramedics (nah)
You ain't where you at in your head, shit is apparent (oh, yeah)
You ain't head nigga 'round here, you with the sheriff (word)
You ain't seen shit how it is, get 'em some carats
Let me say this shit right here so niggas hear it
Everything involved in your life is fuckin' pathetic (oh)
Tyler got the talent, tyler got the vision
Tyler that nigga, so really you can't compare us
Why you filled with terror whenever you in my presence? (Why?)
Is it 'cause we look just alike and niggas said it? (Why?)
I will never lose any sleep, I'm never sweat it
And I'll always be ahead of you, nigga, don't you forget it

When I rise to the top
Tellin' you right now
Tellin' you right now
I'll show you something
If I rise to the top
Tellin' you right now
As crazy as that sound
I'll show you something (man)

With the rockets in my mind, yeah
I can touch the sky, I don't see any ceilin'
And if I fall, it's always to my right
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)

Yo, let me show you punk motherfuckers what I know
See, I know I'm the guy that took a chance like chicago
So I win, I can do this shit with my eyes closed
Can't tell the difference like michael's vitiligo, yeah
There he go again
They tried to boycott him but he didn't dim
He started from the bottom and they would fall off
Like he skipped autumn and spring-summer wins
Look, you tell me I can't, I tell you I can
You tell me I can't, I do it again
Reversin' the job, like blowin' a fan
No matter which way you look at it
Understand, it's plugged in
You tell me it's not mine, I'm pushin' it up ten
You tell me to do five, I'm pushin' a buck-ten
I might just cut off the brakes and aim for the sideline
For you nothin'-ass niggas and screamin' out "fuck him, fuck them"

When I rise to the top
Tellin' you right now (it's gon' hurt watching the top)
Tellin' you right now
I'll show you something (it's gonna be a little painful for ya)
When I rise to the top
Tellin' you right now (you gotta love it)
As crazy as that sound
Oh, I'll show you something

So, so, so, so (I'm talking about the tippy-tippy-top)
(Your ladder will never allow you to get to these heights)
Please don't go, please just stay
Please don't go, please just stay (i can't fuck with me)
Please don't go, please just stay (none of y'all can fuck with me)
Please don't go, please just stay (none of y'all niggas can fuck with me)
Please don't go, yeah, please just stay




Please don't go, yeah, please just stay (y'all can fuck with me, baby)
Please don't go, yeah (I'm right here)
