R.I.P. Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ezra Henderson]

I’m next in the spot let’s face it
I’ma kill the game and then I’m gonna change it
I was a kid with a dream so I chased it
Running for the throne, keep on going till I take it
They see me headed for the top and they hate it
But they’re just mad I’m in their girlfriend’s playlist
Going in on a beat cause I made it
But now I think I’ll bring the melody and the bass in
Triple threat so you know the beat bang
Singer, producer, writer, it’s all the same name
We ain’t in the same league, I’m a different game
Cause I’m puttin' in the work, and you work for the fame
I do not know what you think you just heard
You're bumping average, but this is absurd
Told you I’m headed for greatness, I’m sure
So now you should probably start marking my words

[Chorus: Ezra Henderson]

I’m tired of trying to figure out who I should be
Music is my best friend and my enemy
At least I got my fans they’ll always ride with me
And if they sleeping on us, let ‘em rest in peace
[Verse 2: Ezra Henderson]

I don’t know what you think I came here for
I mean a Grammy would be nice but I want more
I never take a hater’s advice, so therefor
I got my opinion, I don’t need yours
My team is winning take a look up at the scoreboard
My fans are with me and we’re selling out the Fillmore
If you ain’t riding with us yet, you get ignored
But you’ll come running when you see us on the Billboard
This is for every single person that told me I’ll never make it
This is for every time you called me Justin Bieber, I embraced it
Yeah, cause as far as I can see you’re working hourly minimum wages
Huh, and I’m working stages, the girls at these shows they all know what my name is
(Crowd Chant: Ezra ! Ezra ! Ezra !)

[Chorus: Ezra Henderson]

I’m tired of trying to figure out who I should be
Music is my best friend and my enemy
At least I got my fans they’ll always ride with me
And if they sleeping on us, let ‘em rest in peace

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
