They didn't make it true. They made it familiar. And once a lie becomes familiar, people stop questioning it
Different rooms. Different conversations. Different moments. Same message. The truth didn't win. It was repetition!
Flippin' whores, flippin' vocal chords, don't get it twisted
Get it right, did different, did it better, did it nice
Did the impossible then did it twice (get it right)
Seven straight Summers, critics might not admit it
But nobody in rap did it, quite like I did it
If you did it I done it before, you get it I had it
Got mad at it and don't want it no more
And that goes for everything from flippin' that raw
