I.O.U. |
| Yeah, levitatin' off the blacktop |
| Used to struggle getting started now I can't stop |
| Used to be the quiet kid in the sandbox |
| Now it's “Hands up” every time that your man rocks |
| You oughta stop me coming in again |
| You mad? |
| You thought we were synonyms? |
| Too bad, that's the water you're gettin' in |
| You're too fat for the sharks that you're swimming in |
| From where I'm sitting contenders, lookin' like fruits spinnin' around in a blender |
| Hardly a snack when I'm here lookin' for dinner |
| I eat 'em, delete 'em, they're barely beginners |
| Main course is my main sport |
| Play major, but Minor's my main Fort |
| Put a chain around everything I came for |
| Look but don't touch, sucker |
| Tell 'em take an I.O.U |
| Say they want respect now, thinking they deserve to have it next now |
| Tell 'em take an I.O.U |
| Believing what they makin' up, talking loud but never really sayin' much |
| Tell 'em take an I.O.U |
| I been drawin' plans out and they think I'm givin' them a handout |
| Tell 'em take an I.O.U |
| Thinking they're entitled to a piece, no, I don't think so |
| Tell 'em take an I.O.U |
| Levitatin' in the blackout |
| Used to drink at least a forty, 'fore we mashed out |
| Used to think that workin' forty was a max-out |
| Now I'm workin' even when I'm sleepin', do the math now |
| 'Cause even when I'm sleepin', eyes keep 'em open |
| Stripe across 'em both the color of your hemoglobin |
| A huge act man like I'm known for being Logan |
| X-23 I’m keen to leave 'em with a femur broken |
| Takin' it too far, maybe |
| Friends like “Mike I don't know who you are lately” |
| But pride and hate has made nay-sayers mistake me |
| For wasting brain space on ratings they gave me |
| I don't need your respect, I got history |
| I'm ‘81 Reagan with that nonsense, miss me |
| Father like Francis, Anakin or John Misty |
| Not to be touched, sucker |
| Tell 'em take an I.O.U |
| Say they want respect now, thinking they deserve to have it next now |
| Tell 'em take an I.O.U |
| Believing what they makin' up, talking loud but never really sayin' much |
| Tell 'em take an I.O.U |
| I been drawin' plans out and they think I'm givin' them a handout |
| Tell 'em take an I.O.U |
| Thinking they're entitled to a piece, no, I don't think so |
| Tell 'em take an I.O.U |
