Background lyrics
by Eem Triplin
[Intro]
Yo, ayy!
Hahaha hahahaha! (Haha)
Yeah!, how we doin', Rose?
We doin' great, we doin' great! (Yeah!)
Haha, yeah! (Yeah!)
Ayy
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy!
[Hook: SonofaRose & Alec May]
I was just another guy in the background
I don't wanna be that guy in the background
Took a long ass break for the right sound
Now I'm hearing gunshots in the background
I was just another guy in the background (Ayy!)
I don't wanna be that guy in the background (Ayy!)
Took a long ass break for the right sound
Now I'm hearing gunshots in the background (In the background!)
[Verse 1: SonofaRose]
All you lil' f*ckers want a piece of me (want a piece of me!)
f*ckin' on a b*tch and now she's f*ckin' leaving me (f*cking leaving me!)
But I cannot give a sh*t because I'm feelin' me
I really wanna do this sh*t without having to leave this sh*t (goddamn)
Constantly losin' all of my remorse (remorse)
Feeling unstoppable with every verse (every verse)
You cannot do this sh*t, this sh*t's a curse (it's a curse, yeah)
So leave this to me, I'll continue my birth (My birth)
Continue everything that I have ever wanted (whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
I just felt a presence and I made myself so brokenhearted (Ay!)
Why did everything come crashing down, I felt it was so solid?
Everything you said was liquid, nothing said was the truth (Ayy!)
Everybody 'round me on the same sh*t (on the same sh*t)
Can I get a play on Spotify and makin' millions? (makin' millions!)
I was depressed, killing this sh*t
Now all these b*tches wanna make my drip (My drip!)
[Hook: SonofaRose & Alec May]
I was just another guy in the background
I don't wanna be that guy in the background
Took a long ass break for the right sound
Now I'm hearing gunshots in the background
I was just another guy in the background (Ayy!)
I don't wanna be that guy in the background (Ayy!)
Took a long ass break for the right sound
Now I'm hearing gunshots in the background (In the background!)
[Verse 2: Alec May]
Always in the background, no one really paid attention, yeah
And I was just an outcast, no one wanted the connection
Some affection was the only thing that I had truly longed for (yeah)
But I would always sit alone at parties 'til I put my hands in fire! (uh!)
Yeah, I need the right sound (right sound)
I need a pen and paper, got sh*t need to write down (write down)
No time to clown around, I'm tryna hit the ground runnin'
Got some music gotta make, I can't afford to drown!
f*ckers tryna call me friends, they forget they're the ones who ran
I had a lot of sh*t occurring, they didn't wanna help me mend (hey, hey!)
And now they tryna come around and leading me on with their bullsh*t
"Alec, you can count on me!" I call that f*cking bullsh*t!
Stuck in my depression, struggling to find a way out
And now I'm putting words together, getting to where I've been hurting
I'm a motherf*cking wordsmith and I'm crafting godly verses
I'm a master with my words and that's exactly what I'm f*cking cursed with! (Hey!)
[Hook: SonofaRose & Alec May]
I was just another guy in the background
I don't wanna be that guy in the background
Took a long ass break for the right sound
Now I'm hearing gunshots in the background
I was just another guy in the background (Ayy!)
I don't wanna be that guy in the background (Ayy!)
Took a long ass break for the right sound
Now I'm hearing gunshots in the background (In the background!)
[Outro]
Rose! I'm sick of bein' in the background
So sick, so sick (yeah)
So sick, so sick, so sick, ay
Yeah (ay, ay, ay, ay)
Yeah (ay, ay, ay)
Uh, b*tch
