Lyrics GRATIFICATION - Intro - KELLIYON

I love when people are tryna tell me what's right cause they're insecure with their lives
Then tryna play it off as giving advice
I'm at a pace now where nothing is slowing down
The only times I'm going out is to do shit that's related to my momentum
Now I'm back it's never been a while I'm always active
Quality and quantity going way back to the old days tactics
One of the oldest practice
So go attach this quote to diplomas of those who went to school but still owe some taxes
And to the fans that's waiting pardon me
But I won't drop the album until the buzz is Wayne on Carter III
Or 02' Fifty, 09' Drake
These the albums I bump just for old time sake's
But now I'm focused on my own shits, focused on my own drop
Professor on Money Heist, yeah I'm focused on my own plot
This got that Tuscan Leather feel
Protected my middle so much, they starting call me centerfield
Tell the rap game to send the bill
Cause I'm ready to pay my dues
Even though I been paid them
Back in the days, my favorite rappers I would imitate them
When I discovered Jay, Em, Wayne, Nas and Kanye
Then, I put them all together
Greatest of my generation
So I don't give fuck about all the comparisons
Unless it's the names I just dropped
Otherwise it's irrelevant to plug your opinions in
But don't know shit about Hip Hop
While I'll be pointing fingers
Know who to blame when this shit stops
And a bunch of fake phony A&R's that think they're shit hot
When they don't even realize that the biggest songs are on TikTok
So they're lucky if they never bump into me again
And I'll make sure after this that they won't censor me again

I hear too much talking about
What the fuck I could do or should do from niggas who never stepped a foot in my shoes
Asking about the debut as if I get enough views
And that fear of dropping an album that land on def ears
So here the intro to this EP of like 2 or 3 tracks
And a hater's feedback
Nah nigga I won't seek that
Until the day they see that
I'm the one to reach at
Incredible songwriter, producer
I can't take the seat back
Until then I'm coming for blood cause I can't kick my feet back
No matter how many W's you can't take defeat back
Came a long way from IG DM's just to send a beat pack
Sending loops to producers that would never send a beat back
Hungry for more, angry for sure
You can hear it in my voice
Gratification to me would be just to fill my mom's void
Gratification to me would be my brother responding her texts
Told her it's probably because he wants you to bother him less
Gratification could be something that you never could see
For some it's keys
For some it's freedom
For some it's receipts
For some it's dreams they can't remember for the night before last
For some it's dreams that they wanna live before the pistol go (gunshot)

The misadventures of a nigga who can't keep pretending
Teeth are grinning cause you feel like you fumbled a sweet beginning
But ain't no need for cringing
I feel your pain cause I been through the same
Evaluating the who and what and why and the who's to blame
So fuck playing this stupid game
You better take control of everything you own cause you truly could use some change
And I know that at some point I'll get used to fame
Even though I'm unknown now
I know it's something that will soon be changed
So don't be scared to come to the house or ring up my phone
It hurt my heart when I learn that sometimes you're feeling alone
And even though you don't show it I know you're hearing my songs
So hopefully this message will reach to your speaker, headphones
And use laughing I miss
Your passion at this
Every now and then a happy birthday text and that's it
And I respect personal space don't wanna mess with that shit
I just know in the future we're gonna be laughing at this

Sincerely yours
A message from K...
