People Keep Talking - Hoodie Allen

I’m gonna talk when I wanna talk

I don’t need the long distance to plan this shit

Did it on my own with no management

Must be why nobody can manage him

A&R's always want to take advantages

Find a poor kid, sell him on a fantasy

But I’ve always been way above the average

That’s why nobody else can compare to me

Other rappers don’t offend me

Cause I got more drive than a Bentley

In the driveway with a Hemmy, dream girl Rossum

I’m just tryna get an Emmy

Fuck that, I just wanna get a Grammy

Then add three more for my family

Got a plan but I never had a plan B

If you think you’ll fail then you might as well drive in a Camry

And I may never get the cover of that Rolling Stone

Didn’t fit the vibe they were going for

But it’s XXL, but I couldn’t excel

They said we really don’t get it but we’re wishing you well

Oh well, LOL, ain’t got time for no print

Fame come and go when you rhyming so shit

Ain’t gotta sign on no dotted line

But if I do, fuck you for criticizing

When I pick up the phone, they don’t even call back

They just leave me a voicemail

They gon' tell you you changed and shit ain’t the same

Like this shit was a choice, hell

My haters are kicking the bucket

It must have been hard to be wrong all along

But isn’t it love when they memorize every damn word of your song?

Cause they be calling my phone but you already know

I be hitting ignore cause you late

I just throw it away, I don’t care what they say at all

Cause people keep talking, people keep talking

But I don’t hear nothing when people keep talking

One shot, two shot, three shot, super drunk

Four shot, wrong shot, jump shot, no fucks

Even when I spit it I’mma be the spitting image

Of somebody you recognize when you watching television

I’m just trying to be like Jordan, I’m tired of being Pippen

I’ve been coming off the bench and watching my haters get it

It’s a young Jake Gyllenhaal, drop the beat cause I kill 'em all

Grab a seat cause I fill them all

Go hard motherfucker, ain’t a pen involved

Y’all try to get up any way that you can

Step on the back of your favorite fan

Charging like 50 to take a quick picture

You scummy ass rappers are not in demand

And you certainly ain’t in it for love

I’m just saying this shit cause it’s true

I know that all of y’all wanted a bus cause the image important to you

Well I guess that’s human nature

Selfish motherfuckers never do you favors

Till they all get dropped and they sent to waivers

Go shop get shelved like it’s Lord and Taylor (what?!)

I’m the man in the city, well I guess that’d make you the miss

These rappers are acting all over the mic nowadays and they ain’t Ludacris

You tell me you hate I exist while your girlfriend is grooving to all of my

songs

She made you a Spotify playlist and there ain’t no room for you dog?

Cause they be calling my phone but you already know

I be hitting ignore cause you late

I just throw it away, I don’t care what they say at all

Cause people keep talking, people keep talking

But I don’t hear nothing when people keep talking

«Hello?

um Hoodie I just wanna tell you if you’re listening you’re my favorite

artist ever, and I’ve just watched you come so far and you’re just so amazing

and I love your song ‘No Interruption' and oh my god ‘Two Lips' oh my god.

I can’t wait for the new music to come out and um I was really wondering will

you follow me in instagram?

um, my handle is PattyMayo565 um and oh underscore.

Heh, I’m so sorry.

oh my god yes and you have to come back to Wisconsin

because I made you a bracelet and um oh my god I’m so nervous I’m sorry I’m

like a little girl okay um I gotta go take shit but it was really great to I

guess talk to you ok.

Bye Hoodie.»
