The Boss
Abstract Soul feat M.A.R.A Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm boss status
I'm boss status
I make a business out it
Cause I'm boss at it
I'm boss status
I'm boss status
I made a business out it
Cause I'm boss at it
Proceed with caution
I'm stressed and highly reactive
I make my way through any environment
I'm adaptive
I give these birds wings
Them suckers holding 'em captive
Now break fast or you in a crunch
Hoe I'm the captain
I pick the speed up
I'm Vegas in the middle of August
I bring the heat up
I'm meeting up with a bitch from OF
That do no meet ups
It's money when we kick it baby
I'm lacing my cleats up
The goalie gon' get beat up
I'm bout to ruin lives fool
I'm past ass whippings
I got some bubble in my bowl
This high is hash driven
I keep my eye on the future
Like fuck my past visions
I traded in some nice girls
For some bad women
Not only choosing they all perusin'
Who is who-ing
I know some niggas that look like losers
But they ain't losin'
It's all tactics it's not confusion
So I never judge a book by it's cover
I judge it by the words included
I'm boss status
I'm boss status
I make a business out it
Cause I'm boss at it
I'm boss status
I'm boss status
I made a business out it
Cause I'm boss
Not only am I checking these bitches
I got a checklist
And if I crash and burn
I got insurance for the wreckage
The dopest nigga out
I'm surprised you ain't got the message
I got 'em fiending for me
I'm the reason that they neck itch
And I don't need a necklace
Two chains or bracelets
I'm the baddest here
And they'll embrace it
They don't wanna face it
Cause they know I eat faces
And they can't hit a lick
Up in this bitch because they tasteless
I can't be bothered with nonsense
It don't jostle me
Everything I do
Is done colossally
I am an anomaly
Do not rile me up
You gon' pray to God for the calmer me
You better bring an army
And an armory
I'm trying to be the bigger person
But they scared of giants
I hit that loud
Like I'm scared of silence
I'm feeling fabulous now dog
I can't deny it
I'm in the passenger with God at the wheel
Babe I'm a straight rider
I'm boss status
I'm boss status
I make a business out it
Cause I'm boss at it
I'm boss status
I'm boss status




I made a business out it
Cause I'm boss at it
