My Favorite Things
Yo-Yo Ma Lyrics

I don't like the people that keep my name in their grill
There are people who are too invested in my life and constantly talk about me, which is uncomfortable.

But I take hate as love so I'll take whatever still
Even though some people don't like me, I use their hate as motivation to keep going.

One time they hate, but then they waiting to chill
People may have negative feelings towards me at first, but they may change their minds and want to hang out later.

And the second I drop music they say that they feel
Once I release new music, people suddenly claim to understand me or relate to my experiences.

Everything that I've been spitting steady fakin the real
Sometimes I feel like my music isn't genuine enough and that I'm not staying true to myself.

Ain't enough minutes in the day to be wastin em killed
There is no time to waste, and I need to make the most of every moment.

Everybody thinking that I'm wasting just chasing a mill
Some people may think that I'm only in this for the money, but I have other goals and aspirations as well.

But people got things they want to do but never will
Everyone has dreams and desires, but not everyone has the courage or ability to pursue them.

Some people have bad feelings no doubt
There are always going to be people who dislike me or have negative feelings towards me.

Some people use all their time chasing the clout
Some people focus solely on gaining popularity and attention instead of creating meaningful content.

My music's been tasted and frankly spit out
Some people may not appreciate or enjoy my music, which can be disheartening.

But it's also been taken and loved like a spouse
However, there are also people who deeply connect with and appreciate my music.

Sometimes you're feeling great your head's in a cloud
Sometimes life feels amazing and everything is going well.

Other times reality hits, and you'll fall back down
However, life can also be challenging and difficult, and you may struggle to cope at times.

People looking for answers that'll never be found
People may search for answers or solutions to their problems, but sometimes there are no clear answers.

Until you realize the truth that is all around aye
Eventually, you may come to understand the reality of situations and find peace with them.

Took the t from trap and I placed it right in the dirt
I've moved away from creating music in the trap genre and am trying new things.

Like a headstone for all of that wasted work
The time I spent creating music that didn't resonate with me feels like a waste.

I got some haters flaming yah they looking so burnt
There are people who strongly dislike me and try to bring me down, but their efforts are unsuccessful.

It's time for me to apply what i learn from church
I want to incorporate the lessons and values I've learned from my faith into my music and life.

I'm fluent you a nuisance, Just a flea to my flu spit
I am skilled and adaptable in my music, while those who dislike me are insignificant to me.

That's true kid, swear that I'm bout to lose it
I sometimes feel frustrated and overwhelmed with the music industry and criticism from others.

I'm choosing what I do with, Yeah I'm crusin
I'm taking control of my life and making decisions that will benefit me.

My crew sick, Not like the quote popular quote really "who?" clique
My team is strong and supportive, unlike the fake and shallow 'popular' groups.

When I want it I grab it
When I want something, I work hard to achieve it.

In late I've been runnin from my habits
I've been working to break free from negative patterns and bad habits in my life.

A bad guy in my past and I'm remaining so savage
I may have made mistakes in the past, but I'm still strong and resilient.

Yah Im retaining my magic
I still have an ability to create and perform music that people connect with.

There's no containing my madness
I am unapologetically myself, and my 'madness' or unique qualities cannot be restrained.

I may not make it from rappin
I understand that the music industry can be challenging, and there's no guarantee of success.

Cuz My life is not so lavish
My life isn't glamorous or luxurious, and I understand the realities of working in the music industry.

I'm not at base like an acid
I am not basic or predictable in my music or personal life.

I get confused like contraption
I sometimes feel lost or unsure of my next steps in the music industry or in life.

Some make a promise but then break it up just like a fraction
People may make promises to me and then break them apart, leaving me feeling disappointed.

My lines got people like what just happened?
My music and lyrics may surprise or confuse some people, but it's all part of my creative process.

If you can't follow what I'm sayin then go study the captions
If someone doesn't understand my music or lyrics, they can listen more closely or try to find the deeper meaning behind them.

My music was okay but now that's in the past tense
My older music was decent, but I'm improving and growing with each new release.

I'm done with the cheap stuff, I'm runnin right past it
I am moving away from the 'cheap' or inauthentic music I used to create and am working on more meaningful content.

I Know the end is nigh and I'm tryna outlast it
I understand that my time in the music industry may be limited, but I'm trying to make the most of it while I can.

If there's a party you can bet that imma crash it
I'm always up for a good time and am not afraid to join in on the fun.

In glorious fashion, come on son call me captain
I am confident and bold, and want to be seen as a leader in the industry.

Everywhere I lead, just call me the captain Falcon
I have a strong and commanding presence in the industry and want to lead others towards success.

Cleaning up naysayers, give me 'nother napkin
I am able to brush off negative comments or criticism from those who don't believe in me.

Just hope I make it thru another night
The music industry can be difficult and stressful, and I hope to persevere through it all.

My wits are sharp but senses dull just like a butter knife
I may be mentally sharp, but I can be emotionally vulnerable and sensitive like anyone else.

And when I hit the mic I bet I get them butterflies
Performing can still make me nervous or anxious, even though I'm experienced in the industry.

But all Im tryna do is teach you how to love your life
Through my music, I want to inspire and help others to appreciate their lives and find happiness.

Hit your chest, go and flex, yah we get it you got pride
People may try to show off or boast about their accomplishments, but it's not always necessary or impressive.

Frankly no one cares that's something you don't realize
Others may not be as impressed with your accomplishments as you think they are.

I'm set on humility yah that's my one prize
I value modesty and humility over pride and arrogance.

I may never get there I know it's gonna take time
Becoming truly humble may take a long time and a lot of personal growth and development.

My music was okay but now that's in the past tense
My older music was decent, but I'm improving and growing with each new release.

I'm done with the cheap stuff, I'm runnin right past it
I am moving away from the 'cheap' or inauthentic music I used to create and am working on more meaningful content.
