lyrics

I’m a phenom
I’m a leader but believe the whole team strong
Got my angels and I balance it with demons
You may not like me or my music
how I look or how I’m movin
but the hustle is something we can agree on
I ain’t ever lookin for your validation
Mama took me to church for my conformation
Only a matter of time ‘til I conquer nations
Build it from the ground up like my occupation
Is a mason I’m amazing
God I’m brazen, success is what I’m craving
Insatiable appetite glutinous and impatient
Not the best traits but it’s a deadly combination
Coming for your head no hesitation
Murderous intent won’t relent like I’m Jason
Ima get my rest when I’m dead and I’m ancient
But until then get this bread like I’m baking
What in tarnation is the bread of this man
Impregnate the beat like when semen implants
Give birth to the seed and indeed it’s a jam
My verses they reach from the sea to the land
Cali to Japan. From Greece to Sudan.
New Guinea to Chile to Philly to Afghanistan
Gah damn! The list goes on and on
It’s BTE man the Don of Dons
Y’all Better Recognize

Y’all better recognize
Can’t see it? Then you need a new set of eyes
People gon’ study how I bend the rhyme
This is gon’ last ‘til the end of time

A living legend
My whole life been given lemons
That I turn to lemonade. I’ve sold since I was six or seven
Made a profit off my lack of privilege
I’m a prophet I don’t care if that is sacrilegious
Never let the universe confine me
Never given labels cuz no labels can define me
Challenging your social norms. Challenging your mind, g
Life is a game ima win it like Jumanji
I’m just taking what is mine schee
Lyrical Al Capone on a written crime spree
Headed to the top doesn’t scare me that the climbs steep
Earning my spot. If you want it then come find me
BTE he a beast
This animal shouldn’t be released in the streets
Apex predator he feast on the weak
But the ladies still love him yo they weep when he speak
But let me slow it down make it smooth
For all the ladies that wanna just move with the groove
Let me talk to you and your crew for a few
Baby turn around get that 360 view (oof)
I try to keep it chill
I know I be a lot like a full course meal
Got a big mouth hard to keep my lips sealed
But I wanted to remind y’all that I’m the real deal
Better Recognize

Y’all better recognize
Can’t see it? Then you need a new set of eyes
People gon’ study how I bend the rhyme
This is gon’ last ‘til the end of time
