Lyrics Sound Check - Tomi Ade

Yea
Alright lets, lets run through this one time
Bring the drums in
Yea
Yea
I'm on top of this world it don't just feel like it
Whatever way that they wrote it I'm here to rewrite it
This fire was always burning no need to ignite it
Check on my past tracks it seems you need some reminding
Like sleeping in silence
I find comfort knowing y'all don't make a peep fuck a siren
As I'm speeding right by em
My flow so poseidon
They gon need to just wait and watch while my sea is high tiding
It's no way they're surviving
The hitman is up now
The one you could trust now
I haven't heard from you in months
So you testing your luck now
The dating pool got women who don't really give a fuck now
They just hit the club now
Make sure they neck is buss down
You rich you pay for you and friends to get drunk now
But when it's time for y'all to talk some real they never come round
Got you wondering asking where is all of the fun now
And I'll still be in my bag collecting all the funds found
I'm on some other shit
I think I'm bouta blow
I think these bitches know it
They acting like they know
My cycle started breaking
This a new life you know
And now I feel amazing
I need the lights to glow
The show is almost starting
Make sure you get your tickets
Can't wait to show you my work
Girl I've been so consistent
You saw I dropped a album
There's no way that you missed it
The show is almost starting
I know you'll stop and listen
These days my nights are long
And my days getting better
I take these moments in
These things I will remember
I know my title now
I'll be the greatest ever
The show is almost starting
I'm glad we're here together
The show is almost starting
These things you will remember
Everything I do for real
I wouldn't fake it ever
I couldn't it fake it ever
I think that real is better
The show is almost starting
I'm glad we're here together

Yea
Make sure my voice sound a little pretty here
Alright
Bring the vocals in
Look
This is more than just poetry
These the words that flow through me
It's confirmed now, this is where I'm posed to be
I've been overlooked no way they won't notice me
I've been dotting eyes and crossing tees
Take this music as my offering
This just the sound check
You are yet to witness my best sounds yet
It's been a lot of work and no rest
It's been a lot of girls but no ex
Couple weeks of no sex
I guess it's safe to say I'm focused
Distractions come and go and everyday I making sure they show less
Richard dreams not the Rolex
I want saying that you used to know me to be a whole flex
Cuz I felt a little off but on what I just caught
Played you out your own game now I got you dumb hot
Is it even ironic how the hitman got you one shot
Still a baby in the game these tools is out the lunchbox
You could never compare a good punch to a gunshot
It's two different battles
Just like the road you chose to take man it's two different travels
If they won't let me in I'll drill my way in like I'm axel
Fighting the average and steady beating the odds
Born as a mortal man but I'm tryna go out a god
Little rough round the edges the boy is full of them flaws
I'll be the goat but for now I'm a dog
Bring the drums back in
Yea
I'll be the goat but for now I'm a dog
Yea
I'll be the goat but for now I'm a dog
For now I'm a dog
