Find A Topic ft. J-Ideas Lyrics

I don't think you can rap like me

Only nigga on the mic I see

Mess around and still crank out heat

But if you wanna dance

Gimme the mic, lemme recite and shed you some light

This shit is L1TEWORK, a different quality you can find

Aye I don't ask my friends no more if they like what I write

Half of them don't even know what's going on in my life

So when they finally do listen they caught by surprise

And type stupid shit on Instagram like "J. Cole Inspired"

Or "wow your music's come a long way, you gotta be hype"

Like I ain't show the process right in from of their eyes

Or maybe half these muhfuckers are blind, that ain't my problem though

What I know is most of these niggas can't rhyme

Even worse to me? Their words and actions don't quite align

So even in text, they come off to me as maligned

Or double minded, but honestly the standard's been raised

But most these niggas don't care if you ain't punchin' for days

That ain't a problem for me, but that's a problem for me

Like I ain't Killswitch before, like JasonMartin with me

Whaaaat

I ain't rappin' to rap, ain't no passion in that

What's the purpose in that

Gotta find a topic I swear

I ain't blackin on tracks, just to make you react

It's been deeper than that

Gotta find a topic I swear

I ain't rappin' to rap, ain't no passion in that

What's the purpose in fact?

Gotta find a topic I swear

I ain't blackin on tracks, just to make you react

It's been deeper than that

Gotta find a topic I swear

I ain't rappin' to rap, ain't no passion in that

What's the purpose in fact?

Gotta find a topic I swear

I ain't blackin on tracks, just to make you react

It's been deeper than that

Gotta find a topic I swear

I do like rappin' to rap though, I'm in love with the vibes

And good music makes me glad so, I love the nerdy things like

Pocket and flows, but if it ain't leading me somewhere that's

Mindful of the time then I ain't dyin' to go

I'm tired of niggas staring blankly in cameraphones

Reciting bars that's supposed to make me up and just go

"Ok he next up, he the best ever" if you ain't on Sway or

OnTheRadar you might as well save that effort for a purpose

…But I think that most of us know

That if you really love this music and you think that you cold

Then you been laughing at like every single word I just spoke

Because I have a history of doing the same thing

AH, WELP

Blink and you might miss that my goal

Was creating a safe space for these transparent flows

Even in these freeverses I been giving out gold

Cause I been him from the jump, and I'll be him til I'm old

Just make a note

I ain't rappin' to rap, ain't no passion in that

What's the purpose in that

Gotta find a topic I swear

I ain't blackin on tracks, just to make you react

It's been deeper than that

Gotta find a topic I swear

I ain't rappin' to rap, ain't no passion in that

What's the purpose in fact?

Gotta find a topic I swear

I ain't blackin on tracks, just to make you react

It's been deeper than that

Gotta find a topic I swear

The funny thing is that all of this was really

Just a rap criticizing people who like to rap

With raps for the sake of raps

Until I made my point at the end

But I like irony, so…
