Brilliance Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once I dropped I give a fuck, I stopped giving a fuck
Ran into my past and said youre running out of luck
I know the dead jobs hired then fired me
Still, had enough balls to shoot it up. Sike I can turned the steering wheel
I used to rob the cash register for fiftys
I reported it myself, I though that I was mad shifty

Back when you used to rock a northface and sperrys
I was scheming on a million, writing in my blackberry

Been at this shit for years like hitting college
Where girls will snort straight a's, and brothers get acknowleged
Crowd around the same girl she always looking snobbish
Cell phone running out of battery she had to borrow it
My classic was to slide it get the digits
But her phone was out of battery I guess I couldn't fix it
Some other guy told her that,he really had a big cock
But hold up you forgot, this just a metaphor for hip hop

Where rappers who like 5'8 got lyrics and they sound great
But I bet they couldn't go and find a prom date
I was told that after high school it all gets better
I was told after that you live your life just like whatever
So I was cold, I didn't listen to the teacher
I was more concerned with music that was coming out the speaker

How bout the rappers taking notes but then they finish last
But me I spit the most high, with a tedency of skipping class
Enough of that school shit cause im over it

As I grew up, when I grow up I became a lot less sober kid
I was living at my brother's house for a couple years

I guess thats where I really learned how to finish all my beers
Before I know it i'll be 45 rappin' with a pocket full of napkins
Sitting there like what happened
Over and over always hear the same piano chorus
Talking to the same girls on all the same mini tours
If you think about the unknown you'll never see it
Somethings I try to tell people, they still never believe it
So I just keep a rubber and my sleeves ripped
And always weigh my options out with some deductive reasonin'

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
