Role Models Lyrics

Role Model Interlude verse :

The biggest boss
Im swimming in women, got my fingers lost
Michael felt up
Call that breast stroke
Fiends only call up for the best dope
Thats why my phones ringing off
All the ballys, all the straps, they are all deya!
I move in clubs like a ball player
Promoters ask if I'm a ball player
Na...not at all, I just ball player

Verse 1 :

I stand up in the club looking at them
Bottles in they fist, pissed, rapping
Saying every line, re-enacting
Claiming they the boss, swear to GOD that they stacking
It just dont work
With all these bosses, who the hell gon' work?
With all these killers, who the hell you murk?
With all these shottas, who the hell's your sales
I mean, you gotta check it proper, someones telling tales
And everybodies looking at me sideways
Rocking louis belts screaming crime pays
And talking 'bout a 9-5 violates
Cause walking down the straight and narrow's like a crime nowadays
Well lock me up and throw away the key bruvva
Cause I rap, but I dont trap, Im the other
Option
Cause if the children are watchin'
I'd rather be a role model, than just hold bottles

Chorus :

You say you say what you did
But would you say the same to your kids
I really doubt it
But you're saying it to kids
Who put you on a pedestal
Do you ever think about it?
Role Model Role model

Verse 2 :

Mummy tells em off and they dont listen
Instead, they'd rather listen to you spittin'
And in his short life, a teen
Might not decipher between your life, and how to treat women
Im trying to lift us like dumbells
Excuse my introspective delivery
But you just clicked on like thumbnails
That these young males use you as a reference for chivalry
I guess that means the doors ain't getting open
And I ain't talking dating, Im talking hope and Progress
Careers in dope is no less than two years inside, its hopeless
So I just Hope this gets heard and noticed
By the same kids that quoted
I think the same kids should focus
On real live role models
Not just hold bottles

Chorus x2

About

Role Models is a track from The Where Is He Mixtape – It is a two part track linked with the Role Model Intro.

The track looks at the effect rap songs have on people and challenges rappers who talk reckless on songs, influencing people to mimic them – Would what these rappers on say be repeated by them to their kids?

The intro/interludes starts in a nightclub. The DJ introduces one of these typical “Hype” songs and plays it. So the track on the interlude is a representation of the kind of hype song Im challenging – your typical, ignorant rap song. As they are in a club, you can hear everyone rapping along to it and buying into the hype.

The next two verses of role models (The main verses of the actual song) is what I think about those kind of songs.
