How to Rap Lyrics
Uh
Let me break this shit down and make it simple for you nig*as
Yo uh-huh
I remember standing on that block just like yesterday (Uh-huh)
Ds pull up with the captain then I run (Uh)
I turnt your street shit into corporate a pot to a office
I give you How To Be a Rapper 101
First you gotta be nice with it I built my shit ciphering
Long I was in dark studios that was the price of it
Syllables details Spoon’s house where I tightened it (Uh-huh)
Then I got so nice I looked up and I wasn’t writing it
Closer to your dream now you’re ready for a team now
Nig*as who keep you focused the only ones you should be ’round
I chosе the hustlers who was with me holding thе streets down
We making dope money off of a MP3 file (Woo)
Now you go crazy you make the streets hot (Hot)
They should be playing shit out every car and every weed spot
Every club every barbershop ’til everything’s locked
Make sure when the peoples speak your name that everything stop
Now look at you you lit you getting twenty for a feature
Your old hoes gotta hit your manager to reach ya
Your nig*as think you changed nah that change made you a thinker
You seen this game break the best of ’em it’s getting deeper
Remember to stay crowded don’t let ’em make you into a diva
You know them little traps be andthem rap beefs and leeches
The Jack boys will sneak ya them tax boys can see ya
Your security and lawyers didn’t enjoy you with your feet up
Got the labels calling you they fly you out to talk to you low-balling you
And kinda still doubt if they could market you (What?)
Turn it down and show ’em that your number was unarguable
And when they double back you charge ’em triple what they offered you
That’s how you rap they probably thought this was a coke song
‘Cause so far I been the industry’s Omar turned this shit into snowfall
Go off every chance that I get I guess I’m a show-off
Flow on any beat that you play I feel like I showed y’all
When I was up-and-coming I had your favorites up and running
Had ’em dodging features with me when my album drop they ducking
I do press runs they get quiet around that time I don’t hear nothing
When they drop I’m in they city I’m outside like I’ve been hunting
Boss shit investing my own paper now like “Fu*k it”
Build another source of income ’cause rap alone won’t cut it
Don’t leave no money on the table let’s meet and discuss the budget
If they let me go today my own career I could fund it
How they gon’ weigh out your legacy? How the critics gon’ judge it?
Is your chapter gon’ be legendary status when they shut it? (Huh?)
So work delivery add in some versatility
Double your workability and now you know how to be a rapper
I remember standing on that block just like yesterday (Uh-huh)
Ds pull up with the captain then I run (Uh)
I turnt your street shit into corporate a pot to a office
I give you How To Be a Rapper 101 (Uh)
I remember standing on that block just like yesterday
Ds pull up with the captain then I run (Yeah)
I turnt your street shit into corporate a pot to a office
I give you How To Be a Rapper 101 (Ah nig*a)

Benny the Butcher How to Rap Song Meaning
Benny wants to explain something to us in an easy way.
He remembers being on the street corner like it was just yesterday. When the cops arrived, he would run away. He turned his street life into a business and wants to teach you how to be a rapper.
First, you need to be really good at rapping. Benny got better by practicing a lot in studios.
Find people who support and motivate you to keep going. Benny chose friends who were also hustlers.
Make your music so good that everyone wants to listen to it, everywhere.
Once you’re famous, people will pay you a lot for your music and appearances.
Stay humble and don’t let fame change you. There will be challenges like people trying to take advantage of you or starting beef.
Be smart with your money. Invest in yourself and other businesses because rap alone might not pay all your bills.
Make sure your music is remembered even after you’re gone. Be legendary.
He repeats that he used to be on the streets but turned his life around. He’s teaching you how to do the same.
