Andy Warhol Lyrics - Popular Culture - 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 stared 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
