Be There, Be Square Lyrics

[Hook x2]
Be there, be square
And I’ma see y’all when you get here
Let me see those L7’s in the air
Let me see those L7’s in the air


[Verse 2]
I used to rap like Hov before I got signed
High school talent shows, throw up the Roc sign

Pouring liquor on hoes, sipping on white wine
‘Til I realized that whole life was not mine
I never seen Jigga play Chrono Trigger
Sneak out the house just to go out and skateboard with his niggas
Tell me if his favorite Nirvana song is Sliver
Cut down the family tree, I just can’t relate to you niggas
So I speak for those who are not spoken for
On Twitter and Bossip, gossiping if I’m gonna blow
I’m on they heels, they probably wearing open toes
Sold out shows across the globe, my label barely even knows

You watch a throne, I just see a chair
And a crown that I’ma get and not even wear
‘Cause before I got on, they didn’t seem to care
So I said fuck yo circle, I’ma be a square

[Hook x4]

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 [?]
