Lil B
B.O.R. (Birth of Rap) Lyrics
[Intro]
Just for now, just for now, just for now
Just for now, just for now, just for now
It's that time of year
Leave all our hopelessnesses aside
If just for a little while
Lil B, Based God
[Verse]
King of rap, I can bet my money on that
Can't face the facts that a young guy killin' shit
Give me another shot and I'mma come with my mask on
Seen a lot of growth since I came with the Vans song
Now it's '09 and I'm runnin' with the Based God
Fire in my eyes, mix my soul with the napalm
Mix and master, all I need is dro and one mic
One pad, one pen, iPod, dim lights
Feelin' like a plane when it's up and it's in flight
Dressing everyday like I'm dead with the pinstripe
This a few things that show that I'm the rawest
Spending cash everyday so I'm ballin like Spalding
Want beef, like six I’ll have you baldin' like Baldwin
Your favorite rapper out, I'mma lay 'em in a coffin
No talkin' when I'm talkin', cause it's legend, pay attention
Only time I sat in class was when I'm serving a detention
I fuck with Soulja Boy, get money nigga
Everytime I see rappers, all I'm thinking, "I'ma get him"
In the booth or in the streets, I been known to tear and rip 'em
Fifteen and sixteen, eyes breaking down the system
Nobody can tell me nothing, I was living off my system
Head fucked up, I thought it would be cool to go to prison
Watching Hot Boyz on BET getting all these women
So I got my gold grill because I'm thugged out with 'em
B-Town, Waterfront, and I put on for my city
We done did it for six years, just reached twenty
A lot of dudes I grew up with didn't see twenty
Everytime I have a birthday, I'm thinking, "God love me"
Everytime I hit the beat, man, I do it for my Mom
Workin' hard every day, I'mma make it where it's mine
I'mma hustle all the time, like Lil Wayne do
If you up against me, you get ate like grapefruit
My first reaction was like, just chill and stay cool
The rap game is slow, and it just ain't cool
Always jocking on my style and it just ain't you
Only time I feel you is if a based boy do
Because I'm a rap god and a based boy, too
I can listen to the hate and put the volume on mute
So the only thing I hear is the horses in the coupe
And when the roof go down, it reminds me of my chick
Getting money off the floor because I'm trapping like a bitch
Like Gucci Mane said, but it's rich nigga clique
And my name is Lil B, you can call me "king of rap"
I done did a few things and I'm never going back
Mirror mirror on the wall, shit, I'm askin' who the man is
Lil B for "Lil Boss," I'm prayin to my canvas
I deserve the crown because I'm speakin for the masses
And I'm into weed, I'm gettin chiefy like Kansas
Word to the wise, you should fear the competition
Because I'm the only vet that's a Based God spittin'
And you ain't in the game until you make a thousand songs
And you dyin' for this rap, 'cause it's the only thing you love
@yuriikadirov@GergelyOrosz yeah man, I want this to end too, but we dont decide such things, better to help each other in this hard times. you just never know where your money will go if you donate to army
@GergelyOrosz So does the Ukrainian army, unfortunately. That's what im saying, you can't know where your money will go if you donate to killing machine, no matter which side. Helping refugees just seems like a more transparent thing
I'm probably one of the few people who is happy to see people steadily have their jobs replaced by AI like this.
Some days I salivate shamelessly if I think of it too much.
Most jobs are filler & LARP.
Made up and unnecessary.
If you watch people work, you realise hardly anybody does anything and often they do it poorly anyway.
I don't blame them. Why pour your blood, sweat, and tears into companies that don't value you, harvest your creative energy, and drain your life force?
Many people reading this secretly know they're getting paid to do nothing for more than 85% of their 'working' day.
Great civilisations of the past such as Ancient Greece could advance fields like geometry, philosophy, art, music, and engineering so immensely because people had idle time to think –– they didn't waste their entire day and peak consciousness pretending to be busy, doing mundane non-life affirming tasks.
It'll look much worse until it gets better, but we may see an intellectual boom in our lifetime. An entire new economic landscape that rewards creativity and up-skilling.
I am so bullish it's unreal.
I think people over emphasize training, and under emphasize reasoning. Once you’re trained on many programming languages programming becomes a language independent concept. Then all you need are the rules of any particular language and you can write the code. We’ve all discovered this as humans. It should not be surprising that the AIs have managed to do the same thing.
5.5 closed a really big gap to claude but a couple things still are missing:
- rampant acronym use still, overcomplexity. try learning a new subject (like trying to understanding of astrophysics) with 5.5 vs claude. 5.5 instabtly loses you with equations or acronyms or shorthand where claude does not, and the multi turn for this is really where this shows. i had a super long convo with claude about elementary forcrs and it was so wonderful.
- claude is also so good at just telling you cool facts or interesting things in a tasteful way that 5.5 doesnt. when i did that physics convo it kept helping me dive down new rabbitholes bht no chaotically or in distracting ways. openai is just missing better sft and rn data for how to tastefully do this, its not that hard to collect a bunch of examples by hand
- explanations from claude are just better. 5.5 will give overly simplistic or overly complex responses often that are kind of simple. once again i just think gpt isn’t a manually tuned model in the same way that claude is, even though this might mean claude is more opinionated about behavior and response style and gpt. openai needs to move 30% more towards anthropic here
