Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Throw them benjis up in slo mo
Can't trust a broke hoe
Never fight over a bitch, call that the bro code
Ask me how I been lately I tell em so so
Get up all in my business dawg that's a no no
I've been different ever since
Yeah I'm in the mix
I'm in control, I'm in my zone don't tell me how to live
Everybody say they on top, but dawg show me evidence
She said boy when you spit you so cold, you in yo element
Too many tricks
We swerving the whips
They asking too many questions I'm pleading the fifth
That nigga ain't popping he irrelevant
Give me a few seconds, give me room while I vent
Get turnt by myself I don't need no event
Ain't nobody as lit as me
I'm the type to make history
When I'm gone ain't no missing me
They all tricks and they lames
Think they funny so they all quips to me
Imma be what I'm equipped to be
Allergic to y'all (Need Antihistamine)
I ain't gonna play these games
Matter of fact imma flame these lames
Throwing it up imma take my aim
Y'all can't stand heat, well I love the flames
It crazy what people would do for the fame
Wipe him off man that shhh a stain
Me and lil homie is not the same
Got the Midas touch like I'm Court Cobain
Ain't got no time do it pronto
Foreign chick but she do it for the 1 4
Wonder why she looking at me four
Imma blow that shh up like a C4
Spanish Chick I just told her Adios
I'm cool but I can still be a demon though
When I blow they won't believe me though (Believe me hoe)
Painting pictures like my name Michelangelo (Michelangelo)
These boys wanna talk about rap
But honestly dawg just shut your trap
What's the point of spitting if you can't have no fun with that
No matter how popping I'll never be stopping
One foot on the gas pull up like a rocket
They all slowed down took the plug out the socket
These chicks all bait steady pocket watching
Here for the love I'm here for the profit
You fake as hell already told you to stop it
In my head I made promises to myself it's me vs me
Why I got to top it
Back then y'all was on my mental
But I changed now dawg it's evidential
Cool nigga with lots of potential
Don't ever discredit what a nigga went through
We ain't rapping for the hell of it
Competition booming I freaking love the smell of it
But I won't play with none of y'all this time ain't got no fun in it
Took the game I'm a menace god I had to run with it
Screw it dawg I got to win
Urban nigga but I'm still classy b
We just made a classic b
They don't wanna clash with me
Guarantee that's a catastrophe
Pour it up y'all used to laugh at me
Type of niggas that won't last with me
Think we made it to the end
So right now call it wraps for me
Spanish Chick I just told her Adios
I'm cool but I can still be a demon though




When I blow they won't believe me though (Believe me hoe)
Painting pictures like my name Michelangelo (Michelangelo)

Hey there little lovers, why we fighting with each other
Ain't no use in crying like the others
We're fools in need, fools to believe
We're all fools in need too foolish to believe
I'm gonna somebody
Somebody
Somebody
Somebody
Killer don't you please, I got time and time to bleed
And there ain't no use in trying to deceive
I've been fooled by the lover, fooled by the sinner
Fooled myself into thinking I was living
I'm fightin' just to breathe
As I get back on my knees and say
Help me somebody
Help me somebody
I'm fightin' just to breathe
As I get back on my knees
I'm gonna somebody
Somebody
Somebody
Somebody
She said
Suicide's easy

Hey there little lovers, no more fightin' with each other
Ain't no use in suffering like the others
They're fools in need, fools to believe
They're all fools in need too foolish to believe
