I been here for a while / y’all don't see me?
Not an elder or a child / somewhere in between be
thinkin' any day now / the crowd'll believe me,
when I say I'm comin' out / wit da product you need
Leave you a number you could dial / if you tryin’ to reach me
you could facebook message me, text, or tweet. Three
of the ways you could holla on my bizness card,
sendin’ a message through my website, isn't hard

I got the logo, the website, the contact info,
did so many free shows, 'n neighborhood benefits tho’
I use to be self centered - that's the worse,
now I care 'bout ya needs so I'm askin FIRST (12)
was sorta too eager to lead those who ain't know da flow
led a horse to water BEFORE ih HAD da THIRST
If you had LEAD all in ya water, on a regular basis,
*before I offer my water, my first order ought to be
to change ya... (16)

expectations* , cause if you don't know my slang
den what I'm sayin you ain't get, 'n if you ain't
hol' my resume yet, then dependin' on me, you ain't wit (18)
*I get it, how could you want me givin gift?
when you didn't know that I was gifted*(20)

The details of what people need, they hesitant wit
until we set a precedent provin we could present it,
Witout dat past evidence they look past my presents
Mistakin' my gift wrappin fa my actual essence

dey hear me makin' noise
how dey not listenin?
I'm inna buildin' how dey
treat' me like I'm distant }x2
'm bot'a give 'em what dey want
'ntil 'ey all listen!

dey hear me makin' noise
why dey not listenin?
I'm inna buildin' how dey
treat me like I'm distant
until I give em what dey want,
's like I'm not existin'
'm bot'a give 'em what dey want
'ntil 'ey all listen!
about to clear my inbox,
dat's wassup wit me, if
you need me, it should be Easy
to get in touch wit me
don't mean I'm gunna be
loggin on every website,
but it's easy to see me,
like, deer inna headlight
jus leave a message,
I'll hit u back as you expect,
get at me thru text might
hit u back in a few secs
already know me,
probly get back to ya quicker,
if not, my email
or voicemail you could hit up,
it's better sendin' text
if I'm busy, don't be bitter,
when I'm not expectin ya message,
consider, if you don' know me -
it’s quicker ta senda little mention
ova twitter
gotta website fyou ta getta picture
a who I am, what I do, what I
could deliver to you,
plus couple a interviews 'n
a bio review, I print cards
wit my contacts, give em na'you
so now you know ALL ABOUT me right?
let me ask you

dey hear me makin' noise
how dey not listenin?
I'm inna buildin' how dey
treat' me like I'm distant }x2
'm bot'a give 'em what dey want 'n,
'ntil 'ey all listen! (repeat)

what you need, what you want,
what I ask you,
if it was obvious to me,
I wouldn't have to
if it was obvious to you,
it would be dat smoove, but
sometime inna mirror, ya
own face could mask you, hidin
'at truf behind low expectations,
if not fa ourselves den
fa everyone else
leads to no delegation,
n low celebration
no man's elevatin without
some congregation
so I don ask how ta
help, jus ta find out,
but also so u know
dat somebody tryin now
not withstandin, you might just have to cry it out,
use context clues,
in case you ain't tryina pout
we got deadlines,
n time runs out
so I'm goin outta my way to fin' out
what I could provide, fa ma
peeps to be shinin' now,
da see how I get DOWN, n LOVE when I'm in town,
when I'm in town...

dey hear me makin' noise
how dey not listenin?
I'm inna buildin' how dey
treat' me like I'm distant }x2
I got what you want
ACKNOWLEDGE MY EXISTENCE!!!
