Two Weeks Notice

I can see the plan now

God, I see it all laid out

You can't keep a good man

You can't keep a good man

Mm

Epic1

Mm, mm

Walked in the label and gave 'em two weeks' notice

Yeah, looked at me back and they told me: Do stay focused

You'll take flight if it works, just go write a new verse

We gon' make it together, we are right on the verge

No, y'all flipping my feathers, I try to fly and it hurts

Tell me change for the money, I'd rather lie in the dirt

I go poppin' my verse, you applaudin' my verse

I put God in my verse, you don't nod at my verse

I was silent at first, I would lie in my bed

I didn't get any sleep, I was all in my head (I was all in my head)

They think the only way to sell out is through cursing and sex

You could sell out screaming Jesus while securing the check

Used to chase the ticket sales, I can't do it no mo'

What good is selling out the show if you selling your soul?

But I'm still selling out the show, 'cause the fans want the real

I had to say what I feel, I had to get out the deal, look-

Walked in the label and gave 'em two weeks' notice

Yeah, looked at me back and they told me: Do stay focused

You'll take flight if it works, just go write a new verse

We gon' make it together, we are right on the verge

Okay now

We are right on the verge, we are right on the verge

We are right on the verge, we are right on the verge

We are right on the verge, we are right on the verge

We are right on the verge, we are right on the verge

Yeah, yeah

I can't be a slave

Just to have my place

I must break these chains

I must run my race

I can't be a slave

Just to have my place

I must break these chains

I must run my race

Yeah, walked in the label and gave his two weeks' notice

Yeah, he was impatient, I told him: Duly noted

But communication is all we needed this time

I mean we got you the placements, you bought the lease on my dime

And you're a beast with the rhymes: Right, then I gave him a smirk

Every relationship takes some patience to make that thing work

Let's not blow this apart, you'll be your own a&r

Yeah, won't own all your music but you'll control all the art

He was silent at first, there were lies in his head

I could tell he didn't sleep, 'cause his eyes were all red

He think I want him to sell out to put a plaque on the shelf

He don't know that if I could, I would just back him myself

So I backpedaled and told him that the fact that he's ventin'

Makes sense to me and we don't him to feel trapped our intent-

-Was to grow the brand, but in the event that we actually didn't

He should go on, be free, he told me that was his mission, yeah

I can't be a slave

Just to have my place

I must break these chains

I must run my race

I can't be a slave

Just to have my place

I must break these chains

I must run my race

I can't be a slave (I feel like a man now)

Just to have my place (ain't nothin' against me now)

I must break these chains (you can't keep a good man)

I must run my race (you can't keep a good man down)

I can't be a slave (I can see the plan now)

Just to have my place (God, I see it all laid out)

I must break these chains (you can't keep a good man)

I must run my race (you can't keep a good man down)

Mm, mm, mm
