They often say, "In love and war, all is fair"
I'm a boss, reinforcin' order here
Callin' shots and all of 'em are clutch like I was switchin' gears
You ain't makin' moves as if you ran into a Polar Bear
We not the same, do not compare (for real)
Motivation for my successors (yeah)
Checkin' off the checklist (yeah)
Business class boys, that means champagne for breakfast (right)
The fans are the investors (right)
Revenge Club Records, don't test us like skippin' a semester, uh (keep goin', yeah)
So fuck a nigga top 5
Been at it more than half a decade and I'm still in my prime my nigga
My mama callin', remind me to pray
You know the devil right behind you on your way to be great
And I'm still, runnin' my race, ain't no hittin' the wall (nah)
You know the sayin', "In the game you either rise or you fall" (yah, yeah)
Who thought we'd make it this far?
Think we ain't shinin', you just left in the dark (yes, left in the dark)
