Applause

(Intro)
They say that they gonna stop me
They say that they gonna shoot me down
So I ain't leaving 'till I get my applause
Oh-oh
Get my applause
Oh-oh

(Verse)
Yo , I be down for applause
I ain't leaving 'till I hear the crowd
Pounding their palms as they vote for me
They memorize the sound of my songs
So we can leave the city soured and bombs
Drop on 'em when the wolves come
They won't even know what to do
Tell them haters on the new it's number 2
And know that I'm the number 1,
But you get what I really mean
Raining our parades as we thunder
Through retreat these mics
Like mice on food ,if I'm underground
I'm digging right up under you
Pop up on your ass by surprise
Like homie, wassup with you
Trait out nerdy, but you know I do it dirty
Dead wrong like a blood wearing the colour blue
I've hustled through the lies
And mistakes, and now my rivals will greet me too
So I will just wait, 'till the time that I make it
To deny in this face , if I hide what I'm facing
I'm a fly through the place I survive on the stage like

(Chorus)
They say that they gonna stop me
They say that they gonna shoot me down
But I'll just keep performing
So I ain't leaving 'till I get my applause
Clap for 'em
Get my applause
Clap for 'em
They say that they gonna stop me
They say that they gonna shoot me down
But I'll just keep performing
So I ain't leaving 'till I get my applause
Clap for 'em
Get my applause
Clap for 'em

(Verse)
Who really wants to mess with my day
Got the whole crowd screaming my name ,hey
Hey,hey,hey, negativity be slipping away
But I just got to throw my fist in it's face
Kill these dudes out with confidence
So I'm 'bout to pass on 'em,hell
I'll even swag on 'em, I'm throwing the mask on 'em
Hold me the spot now, I'm ready to rock now
And once the show is done
All they gonna do is clap for 'em
Clap clap clap
But the bullies got the best of me
And everybody brought me down
And tried to mess with me
Rock this confidence,on my wrist
My accesories, next to me,
And this determination is my extasy
We ain't leaving now, we ain't leaving never
This is for the chi chi's and the friends
That end up and left my side
Be the realest in it
That phrase just has the best words
When the show's done
They gon' be yelling Pryde

(Bridge)
So clap for
Clap for me when I walk on stage
Oh-oh
Clap for
Clap for me before it's too late
Oh
So clap for
Clap for me when I walk on stage
Oh-oh
Clap for
Clap for me before it's too late
Oh
Clap for, Clap for,Clap for , Yeah
Now Clap for, Clap for
Clap for, Clap for,Clap for , Yeah
Now Clap for, Clap for, Yeah

(Chorus)
They say that they gonna stop me
They say that they gonna shoot me down
But I'll just keep performing
So I ain't leaving 'till I get my applause
Clap for 'em
Get my applause
Clap for 'em
They say that they gonna stop me
They say that they gonna shoot me down
But I'll just keep performing
So I ain't leaving 'till I get my applause
Clap for 'em
Get my applause
Clap for 'em
