Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah
B.F.B
Uhmmm okay
Aye May 5th a legend was born
I seen it in your eyes when you was just a newborn
This world is yours so take it by storm
If you anything like me it won't take too long
Grew up poor I didn't have a pot to piss in
You had a head start but somehow still end up winning
Hard work beat talent nigga that's any day
My flow is like a bitch that just went in for surgery
Aye got a brand new ass big boobs and lip service
Changed up the name and start posting nudes on Insta stories
Her only fans jumpin' cause y'all watchin' from your TV
The moral of the story is you niggas ain't fuckin' with me
Red beam on them if he turn evil Knievel
The chopper do magic tricks it can make yo as see through
He end on a shirt nobody wanna be you
At first they wouldn't listen wouldn't pay me attention either
I couldn't get support couldn't even get a feature
Had to boss up now I don't need no feature I turned into a creature
Once I became Soulja I realized I was a born shooter
Jumpin' out of planes with ARs bitch I'm a paratrooper
Time to take over the game like I'm Mike James
Five niggas with 50 clips 55 man
They want me to dig deeper like I'm diggin' up a hole
I fucked around and hit some oil now I'm swimmin' in some gold
They say pressure make diamonds the walls around me start to crumble
I can make this earth move like a titan bitch hear my rumble
I speak this shit from my heart while you niggas mumble
I put the trust in the wrong people that was a big stumble
Fuck this shit I'm so tired of being humble
Give me the rock Trevor Lawrence I would never fumble
You niggas clowns up in the circus I am just a tamer
Like an animal going extinct y'all ass in danger
I look in the face of danger I am no stranger
They sleepin' on me like Snorlax and I'm the trainer
Feelin' like Stella I had to get my groove back
Angela B. still sexy as fuck she can get pipe
Had to go work on my craft I had to get right
Felt like life I am the pappy I can't get right
Hip-hop's my love but I'm part of this rock and roll life
I've been a rock star and I knew this my whole damn life
Fuckin' all these hoes and playin' the chopper like guitar
Triple P-Loans getting niggas fucked up you better think twice




The feds comin' for they ass and they ain't nothin' nice
Hope you got some lawyers or bail money set up yikes
