Ihateking - Standing Ovation Lyrics

Cigar please, some of ya'll right vision and the wrong peers
Some of ya'll got the right peers and the wrong vision
You only get one first impression with life
So when you do it make everything count
Let's make a toast

Imagine giving a speech and all of your peers chanting
The day I graduated I swear I made it to Canton
I did it on Gods timing I promise I know what faith is
So when you see me shining give me a standing ovation
If you see how far I came they said I wasn't gone make it
So when you see me shining give me a standing ovation
I need a standing ovation
I need a standing ovation

Don't be the one you had just be the uncle you needed
I know a couple secrets I'm hoping my nephew peep it
Look me in my eye I groomed you to be a better me
Blood of my blood I hope you surpass my pedigree
Why would I sit and loiter when the world is my oyster
Searching for something grand and worthy enough to hoist up
Long as God is your witness speak it into existence
The key is staying committed and always staying consistent
Shout out to Boyce Watkins for showing me options
I study the stock market before I being my shopping
Establish some business credit use it as an accessory
So Take this 300 and go start up your own LLC
You spent that on a belt that type of shit don't excite us
Women will sit beside ya when your touch is like midas
Never ran with the losers I hung with entrepreneurs
It's time we be producers and instead of being consumers

Imagine giving a speech and all of your peers chanting
The day I graduated I swear I made it to Canton
I did it on Gods timing I promise I know what faith is
So when you see me shining give me a standing ovation
If you see how far I came they said I wasn't gone make it
So when you see me shining give me a standing ovation
I need a standing ovation
I need a standing ovation

Pennies on dollar for cotton they got em picking
I wanna know the company buying it from the prison
Those private owned prison systems I think it's time that we boycott
Till we see the paper that Michael Jordan and Floyd got
And time is money I hope you made a good ROI
Ten thousand for a funeral baby you can't afford to die
I want to show the world and NFL that we don't need them
And lead all my people and give em financial freedom
What if m]Mike and Lebron formed a conglomerate
And wouldn't sell out no matter the price you're offering
I respect Lavar for the vision he had for JBA
Fuck the NCAA let them young boys get paid
Billions that they made is like a slap in the face
Compare it to scholarship is like some minimum wage
These kids play for free you sit back and you applaud em
Soon as they make a dollar you get ready to discard em

Imagine giving a speech and all of your peers chanting
The day I graduated I swear I made it to Canton
I did it on Gods timing I promise I know what faith is
So when you see me shining give me a standing ovation
If you see how far I came they said I wasn't gone make it
So when you see me shining give me a standing ovation
I need a standing ovation
I need a standing ovation

They say the grave yard is the richest place on this earth
It is here you'll find ideas that were never given birth
Whats the point of getting a bag if you're not spending it right
I was told when I buy some land keep the mineral rights
Learning much as I could cause I couldn't get comfy
Cause I was eavesdropping on people with oil money
The only time a white man would debate my greatness
Is Max and Skip Bayless on a sports syndication
Back when I paid for college fixing your air condition
Killing my dreams slowly while keeping somebody's living
Over looking the cattle resting under the terrace
Most of them benefited from the land they would inherit
Thousands on rent houses build it all for my son
At the end of the month you put it in trust funds
I want my heaven on earth before I'm buried in dirt
The difference is I got my flowers and I'm smelling them first

Imagine giving a speech and all of your peers chanting
The day I graduated I swear I made it to Canton
I did it on Gods timing I promise I know what faith is
So when you see me shining give me a standing ovation
If you see how far I came they said I wasn't gone make it
So when you see me shining give me a standing ovation
I need a standing ovation
I need a standing ovation
