No More Favors

I can’t see the light in me
They put it on a chain
And told me that it’s right there
Speakin' for the life of me
They lied to me
You can never hold the fire that’s inside of me (x3)
I’m gonna call off the parade to save ya
Unless you wish to meet your maker
When I start yellin' you can feel the danger
No more favors (x3)
I believe in honesty
So, honestly
Your simple problems never bother me
Puttin' in this overtime — I’m about my worth
Watchin' my words, never waste a breath on Earth (x3)
You see all these people out there
With their hands out asking for favors
Just get out there and put the work in
Make your own money, man
Raise your own kids
Shout out to the crew that used to hang out on Pennsylvania & Wheelin
Listen to my six-track beats on repeat and tell me they feelin' it
And maybe they lied, maybe they didn’t want to hurt a kid’s feelin’s
But what they did was light a fire, cuz now I feel like I’m the illest
A motley bunch who never had much — Sex, drugs and pain
Seven old-heads kept me clean, pushin' me to change
Now I’m eighteen and I been ready, time to get the fuck out
So I took all this confidence and left my hometown
Don’t know what they’re doing, don’t know where they live
But if they can hear me I’m still grateful for everything they did
They believed
No more favors (repeated)
