Be There, Be Square

[Intro]
Yeah!
Hahaha, Vizzy!
Popular Culture! Ayy, Xaphoon
You crazy! Hehe, yeah
See, my grandma, she would always tell me
Set out to be something
Not someone, you’ll figure you out
Uh

[Verse 1]
I used to rap like Mase, back in '9-8
With a bubble goose and black pager strapped to my waist
Actin' like Harlem was a half a mile ‘way
Them n***as at the mom and pop would laugh in my face
Forgot I was a dude from a very small place
Smallville feels, mama brought me my cape
Said if they call you a square, don’t get bent out of shape
Let them gay n***as hate boy 'cause you gon’ be straight
Yeah, I used to rap like Biggie
But I wasn’t from Brooklyn and weighed less than one-fifty
Shoveled snow to get Versace, girls still didn’t dig me
I was like Dwayne Wayne if he didn’t have Whitley
Bobby without Whitney, Stooges without Iggy
Mickey without Disney, in other words, it ain’t fit me
So that lasted long as the braids on 50
I decided to be myself even if they didn’t get me, I’ma
[Chorus]
Be there (Be there), be square (Be square)
And I’ma see y’all when you get here (Uh-huh)
Let me see those L7s in the air (In the air)
Let me see those L7s in the air (In the air, yeah)
Be there (Be there), be square (Be square)
And I’ma see y’all when you get here (Uh-huh, yeah)
Let me see those L7s in the air (In the air)
Let me see those L7s in the air (Haha, uh-huh, yeah)

[Verse 2]
I used to rap like Hov before I got signed
High school talent shows, threw up the Roc sign
Pourin' liquor on hoes, sippin' on white wine
‘Til I realized that whole life was not mine
I never seen Jigga play Chrono Trigger
Sneak out the house just to go out and skateboard with his n***as
Tell me if his favorite Nirvana song is Sliver
Cut down the family tree, I just can’t relate to you n***as
So I speak for those who are not spoken for
On Twitter and Boxden, gossipin' if I’m gonna blow
I’m on they heels, they probably wearin' open-toes
Sold out shows across the globe, my label barely even knows
You watch a throne, I just see a chair
And a crown that I’ma get and not even wear
‘Cause before I got on, they didn’t seem to care
So I said fuck yo' circle, I’ma be a square
[Chorus]
Be there (Be there), be square (Be square)
And I’ma see y’all when you get here (Uh-huh)
Let me see those L7s in the air (In the air)
Let me see those L7s in the air (In the air, yeah)
Be there (Be there), be square (Be square)
And I’ma see y’all when you get here (Uh-huh)
Let me see those L7s in the air (In the air)
Let me see those L7s in the air (Uh-huh), yeah
Be there (Be there), be square (Be square)
And I’ma see y’all when you get here
Let me see those L7s in the air
Let me see those L7s in the air
Be there (Be there), be square (Be square)
And I’ma see y’all when you get here
Let me see those L7s in the air
Let me see those L7s in the air
