VERSE 1:
I tried to tell them. They were like "oh" /
Now I'm excelling, they be like "Wwwwwhoa" /
"That's actually pretty dope" /
Thanks alot. I Gotta roll /
Hit up the radio and shoot a couple videos /
Cd after cd. TIME TO RIP IT every single show /
Sign a couple cds and peace out up on the low /
While ya'll going clubbing, I'll be dubbing up in my studio /
I tried to show them. They were like "coool" /
NOW I'M EXPLODING. They be like "Owwww"/
"That's sick!" "Man." "Dude." /
"That's wow." "That's you?" /
"When did you do all this? You made this? I didn't even have a clue /
You told me you did music, but this sounding super smooth /
You produced the beat? Makes me wanna move /
I can't even front. From the jump, THIS MADE ME GO... /
CHORUS:
WHOA! WHOA!
WHOA! WHOA! UH OH!

WHOA! WHOA!
WHOA! WHOA! UH OH!

VERSE 2:
I tried to explain it. But they didn't hear me though /
But now I'm bumping, bangin' /
EVERYWHERE THEY GO /
I guess success could be a little difficult /
But did you really have to be sooo skeptical? /
But "F" it, yo I put my effort up in every flow /
My work ethic got me going non(stop) 24 /
Every record sell. Another plaque gold /
Don't really wanna rub it in /
But I TOLD 'EM SO /
Yeah I told them, I'ma blow up. "Man, I don't know" /
That's what they told me. Now they dead center, front row /
Singing every lyric as I rip it so specific /
I barely gotta rap or sing a lick. I could just lip it /
But skip it, I'ma zip it. / I'ma let it go /
"Who's Sanova man?" (I don't even know) /
"Crank this record up. I never heard this song before" /
Oh that's Sanova! Never thought, but HE CAN REALLY GO (hard)!
CHORUS:
WHOA! WHOA!
WHOA! WHOA! UH OH!
YEAH I tried to tell them before
But they didn't listen
Guess the only way to convince them is to make 'em go
WHOA! WHOA!
WHOA! WHOA! UH OH!

VERSE 3:
I TRIED TO CONVINCE THEM. THEY WERE LIKE "riiiight" /
THEY DIDN'T LISTEN. BUT NOW THEY LOOKING LIKE... /
"MAN" "DAMN" "That's TIGHT" /
(See I knew you'ld go places, make it..) Yeah right /
Its funny how when I was coming up, money super light /
that you wasn't talking like that. Almost overnight /
You changed your tone. Dig my songs. You SUPER SIKED? /
Back then you wasn't. Now I'm BUZZIN'! YOU JOKING, RIGHT? /
Came Up (with) NO HYPE. "Must be doing something right" /
In a business where competition is tight /
Where its NOT cool to be different, but its COOL to "BITE" /
And everybody racing for recognition on the mic /
But why chase the mic, if its sitting here on my right (arm) /
No matter where they place me.. I know I'm "Nice" /
WHO NEEDS SOME PROOF? /
I'ld hit the booth /
HAVING 'EM ALL GOING LIKE... /
CHORUS:
WHOA! WHOA!
WHOA! WHOA! UH OH!
YEAH I tried to tell them before
But they didn't listen
Guess the only way to convince them is to make 'em go
WHOA! WHOA!
WHOA! WHOA! UH OH!
YEAH I tried to tell them before
