A Flexx - Backhanded Compliments Lyrics

From the ground in the dirt to the penthouse mama we made it
To everyone who counted me out I know you sorry you hated
And all those backhanded compliments and no congratulations
Look at me now
Look at me now
I ain't no baseball player but I make hits boy
Better quit all the ra-ra fore you get hit boy
And get the lil ones to get you,
You know them hit boys
5 finger discount a shout out to all them slick ones
(IG) I see that they hungry so I keep (feed)in em
It's like I'm rich, it don't matter what they do see me in
How first impression everything when you gon see me again,
And again and again,
And again and again
Cant stumble and no I'm not humble no more
I'm a narcissist won't sink my ship I stay on a float
Yeah since a child I left the house a lot I been on the go
Got plenty sun up in my life but shit I still bring my coat
It's all fun and games until that day you go and hit my funny bone
Watch my tone change, I talk my shit like I got tonsil stones
Round the bases off my emotions if it ever hit home
I hope you love me everyday cause one day I'll be gone
You gave me shot after shot swimmin I'm splashing
A bigger titan see me clashing in these battles like I'm Cassius
The uppercut,
Don't ever undercut on my rations
Go ask myles about the miles in this engine ain't blown no gasket
Say plenty love me some may hate me add em all to the list
Cant understand where I'm coming from so you won't get the gist
Most you niggas like some sandals be floppin and flippin
And like Scottie I'm pimpin
I know the lord gon forgive me
No feeling sorry for myself cause I don't do all that dwelling
So stop buggin me in case you don't I brought the repellent
Yellow everything and I make lemonade with these lemons
Sour that I had made something out of what you had gave us
There ain't no remedy
It's only melodies
I put myself in a position where I could lose it all
But I love jeopardy
No little league,
Don't play for no trophies
I'm wanting all the cream
Pop my collard show I got class
Yeah hand me all the greens
You never know until you know that's for certain
Wrapped this shit up like a turbine
And I switch up the verdict
Close the curtains
What they do not see or know cannot hurt em
Ain't no crashing out with dummys wont go back to the derby
Ima say it once I hope you listening and you heard me
F*ck a permit get some drive up in yo life find yo purpose
Take yo Ls up on the chin and go jump over them hurdles
It's a virtue stay away from all the ones that do hurt you
Yeah
(Yeah yeah)
From the ground in the dirt to the penthouse mama we made it
To everyone who counted me out I know you sorry you hated
And all those backhanded compliments and no congratulations
Look at me now
Look at me now
