Song lyrics
Yeah, levitatin' off the blacktop,
Used to struggle getting started now I can't stop,
Used to be the quiet kid in the sandbox,
Now it's “Hands up” every time that your man rocks.
You oughta stop me coming in again,
You mad? You thought we were synonyms?
Too bad, that's the water you're gettin' in,
You're too fat for the sharks that you're swimming in,
From where I'm sitting contenders, lookin' like fruits spinnin' around in a blender,
Hardly a snack when I'm here lookin' for dinner,
I eat 'em, delete 'em, they're barely beginners,
Main course is my main sport,
Play major, but Minor's my main Fort,
Put a chain around everything I came for,
Look but don't touch, sucker!
Tell 'em take an I.O.U.
[Chorus:]
Say they want respect now, thinking they deserve to have it next now,
Tell 'em take an I.O.U.
Believing what they makin' up, talking loud but never really sayin' much,
Tell 'em take an I.O.U.
I been drawin' plans out and they think I'm givin' them a handout,
Tell 'em take an I.O.U.
Thinking they're entitled to a piece, no, I don't think so,
Tell 'em take an I.O.U.
[Verse 2:]
Levitatin' in the blackout,
Used to drink at least a forty, 'fore we mashed out,
Used to think that workin' forty was a max-out,
Now I'm workin' even when I'm sleepin', do the math now.
'Cause even when I'm sleepin', eyes keep 'em open,
Stripe across 'em both the color of your hemoglobin,
A huge act man like I'm known for being Logan,
X-23 I'm keen to leave 'em with a femur broken.
Takin' it too far, maybe,
Friends like, “Mike, I don't know who you are lately.”
But pride and hate has made nay-sayers mistake me
For wasting brain space on ratings they gave me,
I don't need your respect, I got history,
I'm ‘81 Reagan with that nonsense, miss me.
Father like Francis, Anakin or John Misty,
Not to be touched, sucker!
Tell 'em take an I.O.U.
[Chorus:]
Say they want respect now, thinking they deserve to have it next now,
Tell 'em take an I.O.U.
Believing what they makin' up, talking loud but never really sayin' much,
Tell 'em take an I.O.U.
I been drawin' plans out and they think I'm givin' them a handout,
Tell 'em take an I.O.U.
Thinking they're entitled to a piece, no, I don't think so,
Tell 'em take an I.O.U.
