Machine, bitch Put some respect on my name Machine, bitch You gotta salute me Forever (yeah) And ever and ever, ever Are you not entertained, you bitch? Put some respect on my name (uh) Forever, Bangladesh (uh) And ever and ever, ever (talk to 'em) Put on for my city, you know who kicked in the door first (huh?) I still got a lot to do, I still got more work Before the music popped, I usеd to rap on my porch first Then we used thе pot, got it in with the fork work Shed so many tears like a Mr. Shakur verse Before rap, I fell in love with the sports first (no cap) Before the 'Bach, I fell in love with the Porsche first Yeah, young woman giving up her body for a Dior purse She don't understand that she really have more worth You a queen, baby, you just need to see your worth Machine back, givin' them the gospel, this more church My dog went to prison, came home and did more dirt Had to tell my young boy to chill, that's your fourth Perc' I love him, somethin' happen to me, he finna scorch earth (brrt) I don't listen to these niggas' music, it all be cap I was uninspired for a minute, this brought me back I'm an Outkast like Big Boi, but I'm more Three Stacks I might retire and play the flute, I'm so bored with rap Shit, feelin' like I needed more Even though I had just completed that European tour When I was feelin' defeated, nobody even called To check on me at all, you 'posed to be my dog (be my dog) Even when I accomplish somethin', they don't give me applause They just down-talkin' my name when speakin' to them broads You the same niggas that always "Big bro, big bro" me to death, was MIA when I needed y'all That's why I cut my ringer off I don't wanna even talk, nah, I don't wanna text 'Bout to change my number next But look, on another note, I just left the bank and I deposited another check That was just a subtle flex (talk to 'em) Machine Rain (put some respect on my name) Rain, tears to fall, they leave a glow (forever) Look how far we've traveled through the pain (Machine, bitch, you gotta salute me) Made tears of water, here's the grow (forever) Look how far it's brought us, here's a way Long nights, fighting through the pain Another day I made it through the rain Gotta lose yourself sometimes to find you Gotta move yourself just to remind you Rain Rain, tears to fall, they leave a glow (forever) Look how far we've traveled through the pain I love how the drums got textures, the live music That used to be our escape when the sky was bluish Grayish cloudy with chance of rain, I'm a silent nuisance And my feelings bottled up, used to pry, but useless Effortless and futile attempts to break through my wall and feel helpless I was so selfish, you not a Cancer, but turned to shellfish Pearl of the clam, preserving your precious heart that melted Every time we let that flame do its thing and I went Elvis Dancin' on your boundaries Every man done been a joker, confronted the clown in me It's a shame you had that clover in hand and was countin' leaves "Do he love me? Do he love me not? Or is he bound to leave?" I recall when we were hiking, observing astounding trees And it began to rain and what beauty we found indeed It soothes me you would move on to new things that make you smile like Christmas Eve Every crown hits the ground, but you still a queen, believe Rain (put some respect on my name) Rain, tears to fall, they leave a glow (forever) Look how far we've traveled through the pain (Machine, bitch, you gotta salute me) Made tears of water, here's the grow (forever) Look how far it's brought us, here's a way Long nights, fighting through the pain Another day I made it through the rain Gotta lose yourself sometimes to find you Gotta move yourself just to remind you Rain Rain, tears to fall, they leave a glow (forever) Look how far we've traveled through the pain
