[Intro]
Yeah
Not that Major
Listen
[Verse 1]
They hear “Major”, think stripes on a shoulder
Or XXL tags on a hoodie in October
I laugh like, nah, you ain’t gettin’ it, chief
It’s Major me, Major Tihedi on the beat
Not rank
Not size
I’m the name in the lines
On the fly, on the rise
In the frame, never cropped from the sides
I’m the headline scribbled in a spiral
Not a title that you pin on a rival
[Chorus]
I’m Major, not the one with a salute
Not the one on a label of a suit
Not the size on a tag in a store
It’s Major me, Major Tihedi, say it more
I’m Major, not a number, not a grade
Not a box on a form you gotta shade
When you talkin’ ’bout the name that you see
That’s Major me, Major me, Major T
[Verse 2]
They say “what division?”, I say “independent”
I don’t march, I move, whole crowd in attendance
You think ranks, I think roots in the pavement
Built from the basement, self-made statement
They say “extra large?”, I say “extra real”
I don’t fit in your chart, I just bend the steel
You see letters on a tag, I see legacy
This ain’t size, this identity
When the roll call hits, I stand free
Ain’t a title that they gave, that’s just me
[Bridge]
Spell it out slow so you feel that hit
M-A-J-O-R, my own script
Not a badge, not a box, not a chart on a screen
It’s the way that I walk when I step on the scene
[low vocal register] Major me, Major me
[whispered vocals] Tihedi in the seams
[Chorus]
