Gotta Luv Me - Maino

The industry got Drake

But the streets got me

I watch them praise others

And then deny me

At first i was saying to myself

Well why me?

And then i thought about it

They simply not me

Just what I expected

How can I accept this?

Held my whole city down

I’m still not accepted.

Maybe I ain’t bright enough

Songs ain’t tight enough

Full-blooded weirdo

Pants ain’t tight enough

Going to hard Maino

You need to lighten up

Never that, Imma speak my mind, keep winding up

Black flag wrapped on my face or my billboard

Look around, Diddy got a flag on his face y’all

Is this reality or my imagination?

But n****s really watching me is my evaluation

Watching how I move

Captivated by the thug in me

Studying my music

And act like they don’t f**k with me

Look at me.

Please don’t let these p***y n****s fool you

Even if you hate and gotta love me cuz I’m true fool

Too real, too hard, put that on my mother dawg

Deep down, everybody loves a underdog

Even if you hate to admit it, gotta love me

Did it by myself, no help, you gotta love me

I done made something from nothing, you gotta love me

You gotta love me, you know you love me

Even if you hate to admit it, gotta love me

Did it by myself, no help, you gotta love me

I done made something from nothing, you gotta love me

You gotta love me, you know you love me

If i tell you what’s on my mind, they gone say I’m angry

Tell you Imma spaz out, they gone say I’m crazy

Should i take it personal?

I feel like trying blame me

Maybe I should brush it off, just the way the game be

Came in this game all black, no mistaking

Now hold out on all black

I said it, am I hating?

Look at all these hypocrites, think that I don’t see this s**t

I ain’t in their circle, I be on some different s**t

I be on my own, all alone, like an exile

Guess I ain’t cool enough to fit in with the in crowd

Is he such a bad dude?

Look at all his tattoos

Heard he got a temple, is it true he like to smack dudes?

This what they be asking

They whisper while I’m passing

Forget that I’m the only New York n***a with the smashes

In your eyes you realize you can’t fuck with me

I reared up, now you b***h n****s stuck with me

Even if you hate to admit it, gotta love me

Did it by myself, no help, you gotta love me

I done made something from nothing, you gotta love me

You gotta love me, you know you love me

Even if you hate to admit it, gotta love me

Did it by myself, no help, you gotta love me

I done made something from nothing, you gotta love me

You gotta love me, you know you love me

Yeah.

The streets got me

How can they choose them, and not acknowledge me

At first I was saying to myself, well why me?

And then I thought about it

They simply not me.

Just what I expected

These n****s got they eye on me

They don’t wanna let me in they secret society

I can hear the tone in their voice, that they follow me

Then they turn around and purposely not acknowledge me

You ain’t gotta holla see, cuz you can never stop me

Hit you inconsistancy, Imma make you watch me

Watch me.

Nothing in the world gone make me f**k with you

How you really hate me?

I’m so so lovable

Even if you hate to admit it, gotta love me

Did it by myself, no help, you gotta love me

I done made something from nothing, you gotta love me

Even if you hate to admit it, gotta love me

Did it by myself, no help, you gotta love me

I done made something from nothing, you gotta love me

You gotta love me, you know you love me

Ohh.
