Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna kill em one by one
Middle Fingers up
Fuck what they gotta say
I'm on my way
Level'd up into this game
Middle Fingers up
Loyalty over the table, guilliotine for the traitors
I don't listen to no hater
See you later alligator
I could answer as a favor
Drop the location
No holding backs in my mouth
I just let it out
Hear the mumbles
What the fuck is they talking about
For the bark but no bite
I ain't got no time
Snakes lurking gotta keep an eye on my grass
If they get judgmental, I'm not sentimental
I got the potential to go presidential
While my word is being preached nobody heckle
Tryna to set me on fire, i'll blow them like a candle
Snakes all the way around
I'm gonna kill em one by one
Middle Fingers up
Fuck what they gotta say
I'm on my way
Level'd up into this game
Middle Fingers up
Got no worries on my mind
Unbothered when they talk
My ego gets bigger every time
There's clownery around
On god they make me laugh
Clowning while i'm dripping swag
Step the court to play a match
Giannis height up in the stacks
Punching lines like Canelo
Knocking rounds for the record
Legendary as a pharaoh
You ain't my fellow
Fuck them all middle fingers tall like the Lakers
If it ain't about the business, scrap the labor
In my role of landholder collecting acres
Big stepper like Goliath coming with a laser
Throw the Sticks and stones, i make a castle of my own
Up in the throne because i'm pro to the bone
For the chasers they should know i never leave traces
Pressed about me? Watch me flex it right on their faces
Snakes all the way around
I'm gonna kill em one by one
Middle Fingers up
Fuck what they gotta say
I'm on my way
Level'd up into this game
Middle Fingers up
Snakes all the way around
I'm gonna kill em one by one
Middle Fingers up
Fuck what they gotta say
I'm on my way
