(Uh)
(Aye Mr. Loaf, How you do that?)
Started off at seventeen, I was tryna' make a rap
Yeah I spit a few bars and they told me run it back
Finally made my first song and they said that I snapped
Called the song "EHS" and man it kinda' slapped
When I made all the lyrics I was sittin' in class
Tried chasin' my dreams and I tried a few hacks
But I gotta' grow organically just wit' my rap
Yeah I'm doing research like I performed a phone tap
Back when I took some time off they told me, "Loaf come back!" (Where he at?)
So I made a new beat and I hopped on the track (Yeah)
Started spittin' out bars like a hairball from a cat
Man, that's facts
I can rap, yeah I'm makin' your foot tap
Do the dash, pickin' up the pace while you're pickin' up scraps (Trash)
I got cash
"How many streams Loaf got?" Man let me check the app
Yeah I rap a slick flow, but I'm not from the trap (No)
Started off at seventeen, I was tryna' make a rap
Yeah I spit a few bars and they told me run it back
Finally made my first song and they said that I snapped
Called the song "EHS" and man it kinda' slapped
When I made all the lyrics I was sittin' in class
I was tryna' get the grades, man I was tryna' pass
Tried chasin' my dreams and I tried a few hacks
But I gotta' grow organically just wit' my rap
I don't cap
Yeah pull up with the facts
Findin' you like I'm the map (Map, map, map)
Yeah we do it just like that
(Uh)
Back in middle school, I called myself a sports player (Yeah)
But they all doubted me, yeah they all were some haters
You know I had to prove myself, had to get in the papers (Straight up)
So I came back in high school and shocked 'em like a taser
I'm like candy, yeah you caught me now but might not catch me later (Candy, candy, candy, candy)
I'll give you a sugar rush, no you won't go to sleep later (No)
You don't understand my flow, wait I'll get a translator (I will)
Where I'm from, every time a guy sees a girl he wants to date her
Started off at seventeen, I was tryna' make a rap
Yeah I spit a few bars and they told me run it back
Finally made my first song and they said that I snapped
Called the song "EHS" and man it kinda' slapped
When I made all the lyrics I was sittin' in class
I was tryna' get the grades, man I was tryna' pass
Tried chasin' my dreams and I tried a few hacks
But I gotta' grow organically just wit' my rap
Chaser (Chaser), yeah we hotter than the equator ('Quator)
Taper (Taper), used to be my go to, now it's a fader (Fader)
I'm a maker, put trends in the ground like I'm a staker
Yeah I'm from Elizabethtown (E!), and if you leave then you're a traitor (Uh)
