Above Average Lyrics

Verse 1

Finally I’m getting rich
Oh fuck, it was a dream
Nevertheless I’ll keep on writing on my piece of sheets
Cause when you’re craving man, man I swear you’ll never quit
To get that dream you always wanted till you get that shit fulfilled
Nigga that’s where I’m at
I’m paying dues leading niggas as if they asked for that
Kind of like, Pac n BIG and what they mean to rap
You niggas way too scared
Could never give us praise
Like we can’t handle that
This shit is from the heart
Type of shit not from the brain
Same brain she be giving every times a man just come her way
Her name I don’t remember
That shit don’t really matter
Don’t wish to swim in money
I don’t think I’ll keep my head up
Idols told me to aim high
Most recently it was T.I
You friends say you’re too good, nah nigga they lie
The truth is lacking homie
You would think this shit is gold mines
These rappers give me hate, like my skin is all white
These rappers spitting lies
Dishonest motherfuckers shit I swear no truth no more
Coming every crime
And brag about how everyday they all be fucking whores
So keep on asking nigga, “Who the hell you pose to be?”
I sit back and tell that nigga, “I’m what hip hop truly needs”
I’m what hip hop used to be
When you was back up in your teens
Exactly what I wanna be
In simple nigga words – Luther King in what’s black history
And you can’t get on that
Need 30 just to pen
Spitting thoughtful rhymes nowadays that shit is hard to get
You catch?
You catch nigga?

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 [?]
