Lyrics Along the Way - Ekoh

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Check this out
(Said, said, said)

I said damn, and everybody tryna take a piece of who I am
I said fuck a pair of Yeezy's, I'm just rollin' in these Vans
They said, "Ekoh been a problem since the day that he began"
And I'm steppin' up to the... let's do that again, yeah
Damn, everybody tryna take a piece of who I am
I said fuck a pair of Yeezy's, I'm just rollin' in these Vans
They said, "Ekoh been a problem since the day that he began"
But when I step up to the mic, you watch me ruin all your plans

Your fam said "Goddammit, let's ruin them all"
I'm handing out my demos while you hang with your crew at the mall
I'm fooling all you clowns and all your expensive designer clothes
I'm always in these sweats 'cause I
Don't ever leave the studio, like, woo
You wanna change me, you don't have a chance
So, better luck reversing the election into Hillary's hands
I'm killing a man from [?]
And listen to bands, I don't want a fandom
Got no romance [?]
I'm taking the game and holding it ransom
An anthem, I give my heart to all the disenchanted
You're not the only one the industry has left abandoned
Stranded — Givin' it all I got, but this is real
It's not the music, more the image that gets you a deal
All the feels, all the feels, that's heart hop
And I'm lookin' at my colleagues who signed then got dropped
Like, fuck that, these club rats that only listen to mumble rap
It's time for pande-pande-pandemonium, we fight back
I'm on one, I'm on two, these dudes like, "Who are you?"
With all due respect, I'm probably the next one who's on deck
So place bets, you write off, I advance despite odds
And slap five, I'm on fire, can spit fire like [?]

Damn, everybody tryna a take a piece of who I am
I said fuck a pair of Yeezy's, I'm just rollin' in these Vans
They said, "Ekoh been a problem since the day that he began"
And when I step up to the mic, you watch me ruin all your plans
Everybody tryna get a piece of who I am
I said fuck a pair of Yeezy's, I'm just rollin' in these Vans
They said, "Ekoh been a problem since the day that he began"
But when I step up to the mic, they all be like "Goddamn!"

Feeling the lines, get in the mind of
Someone who's really been sick with the rhyme
Find and look in my eye
I'm just someone that you can offend in the lines
And if you keep it up, I swear to God I'm not stoppin' this time
I drop a track, the shit gets auto-bought like I'm Optimus Prime
"Believe the hype" is the dumbest shit that I heard today
These girls givin' head, I'm tryna see one, like vertebrae
Since I'm in Vegas, I'm rollin' in with some loaded dice
You know I only gamble with my heart and had it broken twice
Yeah, well, take this all for granted
And never help the next person up and wonder why we empty handed
They just wanna use the verse to get from hook to hook
I know the story lines between the panels in the comic books
And I don't even have the time for these morons
Like, fuck the whole scene, if you the Alpha, then I'm Zordon
Record on those beats and conceive [?]
[?], prepare with these [?] drums

Damn, everybody tryna take a piece of who I am
I said fuck a pair of Yeezy's, I'm just rolling in these Vans
They said, "Ekoh been a problem since the day that he began"
And when I step up to the mic, you watch me ruin all your plans
Everybody tryna get a piece of who I am
I said fuck a pair of Yeezy's, I'm just rollin' in these Vans
They said, "Ekoh been a problem since the day that he began"
But when I step up to the mic, they all be like "Goddamn!"

Yeah, three in a row, that's hat-trick
She said it's lit, Bruce Wayne meaning "bat shit"
I said it's more like Banner the way I smashed it
I come off fire of the top, that's matchstick
Passionate, dope, but these joints keep passing it
Don't fuck up the rotation when I'm
Askin' if you still believe in the magic of the music
When the quality keeps droppin' and we're used to it
That's real shit, feelin' disenchanted like
"Is this my calling or the place that I landed?"
'Cause, I don't know, but the clock keeps tickin', tryna
Build it up with all these people that are listenin', so
Before I'm gone, I can leave a dent in the planet
In the hearts of these people, of the fans, and
Show 'em all they got a trick up their sleeve
And you can be bigger than your craziest of dreams, yeah
So get up, this art pop thing got me laced up
'Bout to start a heart hop gang, yeah (Gang, yeah)
All I know is that it pays to believe
And the only thing I can really change is me
