I was hopin’ they would see me just for me, dope rhymer
They do me like my first house, no co-signer

Meaning

Due to Donald Glover’s track record of being hilarious and his celebrity status, people have certain assumptions about his rapping, instead of just seeing him as someone can spit hotness.

Coincidentally, no-body is “co-signing” him (giving their support of), much like how he bought his first without someone else co-signing the loan because he has the money to spend.
