Can I get an Amen?

V5

[instrumental intro] - [verse, rap] I didn't mean to be mean about it But you lookin like you got a price tag, let's sit down and talk 'bout it. You need to step your paper up, that's what the real truth is I only shop at places where they don't know what a 'coupon' is. My crib got a view that's historical, like the Louvre, man You got a Hyundai accent, I'm driving in a coupe, man. Heard you were talking numbers, check the spreadsheet, baby hate me, love me, but you still gotta pay me. You're still buying mixtapes, let me laugh (hahaha) My mistakes still pay more than your successes, fast or Slow, that's the difference, I own the whole chart, This ain't just rap, this is abstract, this is Mozart. Built this empire from a single prayer, Now the whole world wearin' what I decided to wear. They try to copy the wave but the frequency's higher, I talk to God like said wazup on the wire. [Chorus] Can I get an Amen for the man who paid me? (Amen!) Yeah, the devil tried to block my sunshine, but the Father came to save me. (Amen!) My spirit's on a hundred, you can't contain me. The check cleared, the sky cleared, baby, you can't break me. [verse] See, the critics try to box me in the narrative again They mad 'cause my new painting sold for more than their stipend. The museum called, they need the canvas, need the texture Y'all worried 'bout the likes, I'm worried 'bout the lecture. I tell 'em, "Don't mistake the ego for the vision, I had to get loud for them to finally start to listen." My therapist said, "The genius is the burden," But who cares, when the money's too large to confirm, man? See, the pressure's a privilege, the stress is the sign, That I'm operating on a frequency that's solely mine. They want the secrets, but I only whisper 'em to the choir, Used to pray for success, now I pray for a private island, I am higher. I could rap about a thought and the market'd shift, watch it spiral, My voice is like a signal, my word is viral Attempt to catch up to the standard I set when I was sixteen, I'm the reason the whole world's talking 'bout the supreme I'm the reason they listen, the reason they discuss, My silence is louder than your whole tour bus. [Chorus] Can I get an Amen for the man who paid me? (Amen!) Yeah, the devil tried to block my sunshine, but the Father came to save me. (Amen!) My spirit's on a hundred, you can't contain me. The check cleared, the sky cleared, baby, you can't break me.
