When you answer your calling, they'll hate on you
And stop you from soaring 'cause they want you
To fall from the light
Watch the throne as we conquer and build
They don't want you to own it, they want you to kneel
Here today, but tomorrow, get forgotten until
You are just another cog in the wheel
All the opps, they just wanna topple us from the top of the hill
From the acropolis, but stopping us is not on the bill
When you answer your calling, they'll hate on you
And stop you from soaring 'cause they want you
To fall from the light
My downfall ain't what's holding you up
What I'm accomplishing ain't stopping them from showing you love
Ain't nothing owing to us, with every stroke of my brush
I weave a tapestry of rhapsody that's sewn in my blood
And every stroke of my pen, it's like I'm choking 'em up
It's like my pen is a pin the way I'm sewing it up
It's like these men are some kings the way we flow in the cut
The H is for Hilltop, they throwing it up
We get cut up when we claw for fame
They all shut up when they call our name
They want us never, never, never, never
Never to come back again
We get cut up when we claw for fame
They all shut up when they call our name
They want us never, never, never, never
Never to come back again
Listen, you are not welcome now
Most hated, most popular
When you answer your calling, they'll hate on you
And stop you from soaring 'cause they want you
They want us to crawl on all fours all day
They all wanna wall up the hall of fame
The game is a ball, but it's a ball and chain
But can't be tied down like a tourniquet
When they all throw shade, I just grow brighter
Putting words in my mouth like a ghost writer
When you answer your calling, they'll hate on you
And stop you from soaring 'cause they want you
Yeah, it's like riding in a rickshaw, I get carried away
Nothing getting past me like a Faraday cage
Hit the track and it's a wrap like a kimono
I go so ape like a bonobo
Used to run your mouth, now you're all
Silent through my success, but loud when I fall
Cut down all the tall poppies, I'll grow one
But you'll get no love until you show some
We get cut up when we claw for fame
They all shut up when they call our name
They want us never, never, never, never
Never to come back again
We get cut up when we claw for fame
They all shut up when they call our name
They want us never, never, never, never
Never to come back again
