Cordae — Cant Take It

[Intro] Uh, yeah [Verse 1] You ever have a love for something and it's taken away? Tryin' so hard to forget all of the pain and mistakes Don't know how much fuckin' stress that my brain can it take On top forever 'cause I'm so afraid of fadin’ away This music shit my love and passion That's why I fell in love with rappin’ God forbid something happens, y'all still have my rhymes Even though y’all didn't fuckin’ listen half the time Got my reason, comeback season, dawg, I had to grind I mean this shit is not a hobby, waitin’ out hours in the lobby Ain’t no labels tryna sign me, but I’m flowin' like tsunamis Through the struggles through the grimy, I’ma make it out Couple years, there's no debate that I’m the greatest out Better yet, just admit it now Split the reel and switch the style Niggas pay attention now, nobody is ill around And when I say that "Nobody fuckin’ hot as me" I’m not even being cocky, that's just honesty [Chorus] All I wanna do is chase my dream Gotta make it, everybody’s fuckin’ hatin’ me, oh I can’t take it, oh no, I can’t take it I can’t take it, well, no, I can’t take it It’s crazy that I can’t trust my friends Let me know when the lust will end ‘Cause it’s killin’ me I can’t take it, well, no, I can’t take it I can’t take it, I know I can’t take it [Verse 2] Anything I spit was nothing but fact Can’t say the same for other niggas who be frontin’ in wax Takin’ pictures up on Twitter and they stuntin’ with straps Overall, cause overhaul ‘cause they suck and they whack And stress have you fuckin’ jumpin' off the floor and the wall I’m tryna holla at my pops but he ignore my calls Got me thinking like, damn man my father is trippin' Momma got paper but spend it all on college tuition So my first day of class I’m screamin', “Fuck the professor” What this nigga gotta say for 30k a semester Grandma claimin’ that you always gotta pray to get better Can’t believe it when my niggas gettin’ sprayed with Berettas And meanwhile the school's collectin’ they fuckin’ checks We get a fancy sheet of paper with a bunch of debt Man, that don’t sound right Its like your fuckin’ whack ass music, it just don’t sound right The beats with the sound like… [Chorus] All I wanna do is chase my dream Gotta make it, everybody’s fuckin’ hatin’ me, oh I can’t take it, oh no, I can’t take it I can’t take it, well, no, I can’t take it It’s crazy that I can’t trust my friends Let me know when the lust will end ‘Cause it’s killin’ me I can’t take it, well, no, I can’t take it I can’t take it, I know I can’t take it [Outro Sample] And what you need And what you need And what you need And what you are What you are What you are What you are
