On the outside lookin in and I dont tail gate
Life is fair like the hare trynna win the Snail race
Pushing whale weight until the scale breaks, packages sold n that shit never get old- like Pharrell’s face
I know success can be stressful but to fail’s safe, so fuck a Fail safe, Ain’t takin stalemates
Follow ya shot like shell casings, Get money first,
The hoes will follow like cell mates in jail breaks
My Pale faced homie can carry in 12 states
Before I take an L, he squeezing the finger n thumb L shape
Self made, Tell chase the beat’s hell flames, I use to read the back of the cereal box bumping big L tapes
Now A lot of mainstream shit is fake to me
But A lot of underground shit is straight pussy
They need to call it in, go head tell em Play hooky
follow trends n prolly swallow dick for a Bape hoodie
Everybody claim life a action movie
So Excuse me if i act unruly
I’d take ya head w it if snatched ya jewelry
there’d only be 2 verses on Bad and Boujee if i clapped an uzi…
She Treat me like a lollipop… Tunechi song
I’ve been different since I came out like the Gucci clone
I’ll Show up to ur concert n take ur groupies home
N check u when it’s showtime like it’s Movie phone
A lot of y’all sound the same I’m like choose a style
I hear u Singing off key, N auto tune u out
All I spit is coke, coughing out blood
So if I rap about rap I’m really talkin bout drugs
This a brick, in the whip prolly knockin max b
Had a Homie washing money like a laundromat scheme
got popped w 20 stacks – he was caught in that sting
It was dirty he beat the case then he got it back clean
Ain’t gotta do shit n the Cops will harass you – officer catch you reaching for ur wallet then blast you
Keep a blade like I’m Carving a statue Sharper then Shrapnel, N Cut quicker Than Chase Chopping a sample
Pouring Salt in a stab wound
If u Talkin a battle, send the bread im there faster than the Gossip can travel
Friends and enemies have Egos n all of em fragile, common example; They move behind my back, like they caught in my shadow
follow me close, then stop when I catch em
feel like I’m haunted by ghosts in a Mario castle
Stick em up
Take a president hostage I don’t give a fuck
Make the ransom one small loan, of a million bucks
N Obama was a class act, that’s fact, but still a terrorist when we get down to brass tax
Racists claim trump gets a bad wrap speaking of bad rap- he’s still a rapist like Kodak black
Tell em U can get the work no Rihanna song
U got a Better shot at prolly keeping Kanye calm At an awards show that did Beyoncé wrong, battle me? I’ll hang u halfway off the balcony that Big sean was on
_____ so By all means hustle
That’s why Keep clones around me like a body double
The Suppressor on the heckler so the shots ring muffled
fuck around n catch a dummy round call em Barney Rubble
What u call beef? When god Take ur offspring from u
Banana clips, going ape in a concrete jungle
I dodge swings, bob weave, then I Ali shuffle
N Take off at Mach speed like a Lockheed shuttle, I’m Rocky
Ali, Tyson, I’m Drago, Hopkins, Apollo, Rocky Marciano, u could call me a combo
Got me watchin Sopranos, trynna rob me a Capo, coppers follow, fiends take cane to the neck but it’s not the Apollo
Naw, pops warned me of the danger,
told me there’d be traps and they’d short me on my paper
Battle rappers got something for me in the chamber
They been chasin me forever like Corey did Tapenga
Wide awake, but feel like I’m very slept on, Kickstarter- just to pay my library debts off
DMX told us It’s dark and hell is hot
But ain’t a soul on earth that could Argue that heavens not,
Naw— guess that’s the Price of waging war
I Seen a burning bush smoking out a Bible page before
Seen em gentrify us, trynna Isolate the poor
I was Born in 86 but this is 1984- Ill
