Street
You ain't built like me
Wrist frozen
I'm straight out the street
Tell these niggas im chosen, wrist frozen, pullin' up 2019 fleet
Now yo' main bitch choosing, and she going, not even knowing she ain't even nominee
DMC but I ain't running, yeah I'm coming, like yo' bitch put the pussy on me
Control Alt Delete put yo' bitch ass to sleep
You ain't going where I'm going, you ain't built like me cuz I'm straight out the street
Straight out the Straight out the street
Straight out the Straight out the street
I'm straight out the street
Skirt Skirt straight out the street
Straight out the Straight out the street
Yeah I'm straight out the street
Straight out the Straight out the street
Straight out the Straight out the street
Straight out the street
Skirt Skirt straight out the street
Straight out the Straight out the street
Straight up out them apartments
I remember sleeping on the carpets
Ain't have nothing but a target
Shot for the stars like a martian
Shot like James Harden with a carbon
All I know is heartache and pain
Pain running deeper than the sea
And you can see my scars run the same
Ain't nun but money on my brain
I stay in my lane and maintain
Potnas switching up and that shit lame
Plus these bitches fucking for some fame
Tell me what done happened to the game
Tell me what done happened to the code
Everybody wanna be gang
Till the gang gone down the road
That's who be the first one to fold
That's who be the first to switch sides
I can't go out bad on my soul
Ego coincide with my pride
Gotta make it out the streets alive
Gotta make it home to my daughter
I've been working harder moving smarter
Came from nothing now I'm riding charter
Tell these niggas im chosen, wrist frozen, pullin' up 2019 fleet
Now yo' main bitch choosing, and she going, not even knowing she ain't even nominee
DMC but I ain't running, yeah I'm coming, like yo' bitch put the pussy on me
Control Alt Delete put yo' bitch ass to sleep
You ain't going where I'm going, you ain't built like me cuz I'm straight out the street
Straight out the Straight out the street
Straight out the Straight out the street
I'm straight out the street
Skirt Skirt straight out the street
Straight out the Straight out the street
Yeah I'm straight out the street
Straight out the Straight out the street
Straight out the Straight out the street
Straight out the street
Skirt Skirt straight out the street
Straight out the Straight out the street
Skirt
Cash
Bang




Huh
