Andy Warhol - XV

Drop the top on that Continental GT

Riding through, let everybody see he

That dude killing cyphers at award shows on BET

I spit like 24 bars, they told me only 16

But gave me one whole minute cause they gave me only 15

So in the meantime and in the between time

I had hoes that pick and rolled cause I was getting screen time

With TV commercials, everybody telling me «awesome»

Even Joey was like «Woah!»

I was starting to blossom

The money was finally talking and often I heard what it was saying

But I was more 'bout making history than conversation

Especially when you know how much time you wasting

And then you started racing before your time run out

You got 15 minutes to shine, boy you better show out

Everybody want a piece of that limelight, you better get up

(They say you got 15 minutes to shine

So I’mma grind like ain’t no time left

They say I got 15 minutes to shine

So I’mma ball 'til I foul out, no ref

They say I got 15 minutes

And I’mma get it cause the sky’s the limit, ya hear me

I only got 15 minutes

All I need is 15 minutes)

Niggas wanna be pop icons on they dot coms

Stunting like they pop Dom and living with they pops mom

You are not a rapper just because you turned a mic on

Like you are not a blogger just because you bought a Nikon

Hate to crush your dreams but sometimes you gotta hurt

To see if they get up, I overcame so many hurdles

Grew up around shells and dudes with bandanas

Damn, you would think I’m talking 'bout Ninja Turtles

Big kid from a small town

With a hat they call the crown and a world they call round

Now he leaps tall buildings in small bounds

Give me 15 minutes 'fore it all falls down

And labels don’t come around but what can they say?

They give one hit wonders one million, that shit cray

Then you get 15 minutes once that hit fades

And paint your picture for you before you get to the grave

And then your time run out
