Lyrics
[Intro]
Ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh
[Verse 1]
Courtside, dope seats not up in the nosebleeds
Oh damn, woah, sheesh
Everybody knows me now
Life speedin', and it don't slow down
For a **** like me really a
Rockstar, wake up bella on my belly
Wagyu steak stay casin' for a safe space
Working on my communiqué
Real familiar with love
But I'm not immune to hate
Free all my folks from the judge, they came in to clean the place
(Free)
Free our mind
We smoke da' vine cause we divine
I scope the vision with three eyes
I'm aligned and I'm alkalined
I'm baba, my ori proper
Boom chakra, lockdown, can't stop us, young conquer
[Chorus]
I'll be loved when no one's around
(When no one's around)
(You might as well come around)
I'll be loved when no one's around
(When there's no one around)
(You might as well come around)
I'll be loved when no one's around
(When no one's around)
(You might as well come around)
I'll be loved when no one's around
(When no one's around)
(You might as well come around)
[Verse 2]
My uncle called me, he been jammed since I was hardly walking
Told me them **** in the yard be always talking 'bout me
"****, that's my nephew," what he said, it make him proud, he smiled
I can imagine how he feel 'cause every time my sister call me
Tellin' me them stories
'Bout how Lil JJ done got straight As
That boy astronomic
A single mommy, well, not for real, her dude in jail
Revolvin' story 'round by where we lay our nappy heads
I wrote this song to thought-provoke a empty heart that's broke
Defibrillator full of flavor as I roll my smoke
Wish I could pass it but this Panny turned me to germaphobe
Bitch, we the wave and the boat, my heart been glacier cold, but if you needed to know
[Chorus]
I'll be loved when no one's around
(When there's no one around)
(You might as well come around)
I'll be loved when no one's around
(When there's no one around)
(You might as well come around)
I'll be loved when no one's around
(When no one's around)
(You might as well come around)
I'll be loved when no one's around
(When no one's around)
(You might as well come around)
[Outro]
And, uh, so, uh
When she told me your rap name, right
Yeah
I said, "Smino?"
They were just tellin' me about him
I didn't know your rap name right now
I went to put it in the kiosk one day, boom it popped up
I tried to spell it, I said "How you spell it?", and I put it in there, you know?
It popped right up
I was like, "Wow, hey, look, my nephew, he all over here on the kiosk
He doin' big things
His daddy was gifted, now he gifted, you know?"
