[Verse]
Wonderin' how we gon’ come again (Uh)
My golden rule was not to focus on the fame game (Uh)
In retrospect, the game ain't the same, mane (The same, mane-the same, mane)
The heart and soul is divided
They ramshacked the music, no control up inside it
Now (Now, now), look at this, it's all stretched out and nasty
But (What-what-what?), let that money pass me? I doubt that (Huh)
And niggas from the bottom know (Uh huh)
Pumpin’ hard, wind, sleet, hail, or snow (Uh huh)
(So, so) you got to get your gate right (Right)
No matter what (Uh), you got to treat your weight right
On the block if you focused on greed then (What?)
Nine out of ten times you'd be bleedin'
The analogy is clear to all of my peers
I'm a motherfuckin' vet, don't mean to disrespect
'Cause I write rhymes, I write checks (It's clear today)
Bust, hey, yo, what happened to the love for the game?
Love for the music?
I need realness in my life
Hey, yo, these niggas in the game

Bryson Tiller

Bryson Tiller is an American singer-songwriter from Louisville, Kentucky. His debut studio album T R A P S O U L, was released on October 2, 2015.

Tiller started receiving massive internet attention from music industry insiders with his breakout single “Don’t” which he originally released on SoundCloud, which has since been streamed over 35 million times.

Early co-signs from super producer Timbaland and Drake led to multiple major label deals for Bryson. One of those major label deals being a OVO contract from Drizzy, but Bryson surprisingly declined the offer. Later he eventually chose to sign a creative partnership with RCA Records on August 25, 2015. It wasn’t easy for Bryson coming up although. Bryson realeased Killer Instinct Vol. 1 back in 2011. While at the same time, Bryson was working some real overtime and was a big hustler, working two jobs and also dealing with relationship issues. At one point, Bryson even considered applying for a third job, to provide for his little daughter, Harley (who is featured in the True To Self cover art). Bryson struggled but then he released a song that would change his life forever. He dropped this song on Soundcloud in 2014. This song is the one we all know and love, Don’t. Bryson instantly became an overnight sensation. And from that we already know he received props from Timbaland and Drake and since then has released three T R A P S O U L in 2015, True To Self in 2017 and A N N I V E R S A R Y in 2020, exactly five years after the release of his debut album.
