about

U Boy is a track about believing in yourself and following your passion.

lyrics

Verse 1
Now this just in I’m not a big thing
I’m no big deal my wrist don’t bling
I don’t own a Jesus piece don’t got a pinky ring
To step my game up I may need ginseng
I don’t lack confidence I lack consequence
And a lack of consequence is no coincidence
We all know that’s hip hop philosophy
It may be philosophy but for me it’s prophecy
It’s fucking with me mentally something to overcome
Rap is cannibal we fight over every crumb.
That’s why the proclamations are so wild and grandiose
Alleged suicide doors leaving haters comatose
That’s some ill shit wish I had thought of that
The creativity is what inspired me to rap
Not rich contracts candy painted Cadillacs
Me getting faded in the back honies catching contact
They say it’s glamorous I don’t see the glamour
Some shit I can’t touch please forgive me MC Hammer
I’m too legit to quit so I soldier on
Though there’s bitter with the sweet I’m only tasting Toblerone
Rose colored shades for those throwing shade
I take lemons in this bitch and produce minute maid
I don’t need encouragement my passion never dies
There’s a voice in my head so sweet I get a rise

Chorus

I believe in you boy you are so damn fly
I believe in you boy baby that’s no lie
I believe in you boy can you show them why
I believe in you boy nobody does it like you do boy

Verse 2
If you do music you gotta stick with it
The praise will be loud be loud but so will be the critics
And some will use gimmicks, imitation, mimicry
But there’s nothing like the good ole time delivery
Wish I could deliver me distribution is a bitch
I’m so strung out look I got the itch
Involuntary twitch so addictive
If music is the drug then I’m afflicted
I could detox but I’d rather OD
So much talent so much skill pay me what you owe me
Though they below me they get recognized
All because they brag boast and self aggrandize
Even if I advertise it’s a futile exercise
They love the standard fare radio supplies
Top 40 shit I ain even mad
I’ll take any recognition Boise to Islamabad
Extraterrestrial hope you get my meaning
Radio’s terrestrial that’s enough explaining
I told someone my dream they told me keep dreaming
Well I’m a keep dreaming you just keep on cleaning.
Never share your dream ditto for your joy
The defeated joyless only think destroy
I’m releasing mad tracks you know it’s not a ploy
And I approve this message Dox U BOY

Chorus

I believe in you boy you are so damn fly
I believe in you boy baby that’s no lie
I believe in you boy can you show them why
I believe in you boy nobody does it like you do boy(x2)

Baby you, baby you, do those things no one else can do
Baby you, baby you, do those things no one else can do
Baby you, baby you, do those things no one else can do
Baby you, baby you, keep doing what you doing boy do you

I believe in you boy you are so damn fly
I believe in you boy baby that’s no lie
I believe in you boy can you show them why
I believe in you boy nobody does it like you do boy
