Who complains about what he is owed?
41
And throw a tantrum like he is 3 years old?
42
You gotta love it though somebody still speaks from his soul
43
And wouldn't change by the change, or the game or the fame
44
When he came in the game, he made his own lane
45
Now all I need is y'all to pronounce my name
