Imma run a fuckin check up
Imma run a fuckin check up
Aye
Before I run away from all my fuckin problems
Or lose my mind and go insane
Imma run a fuckin check up
Imma run a fuckin check up
Before I die make the vision come to life
I’m a mastermind I’m out my brain
Imma run a fuckin check up
Imma run a fuckin check up
Oooo
I put my pride to the side get some more bucks (Get some more)
I got a shawty down to ride on the tour bus (On the tour)
She know that everywhere we go they can’t afford us (Can’t afford)
I told the bank we need some acreage to hold us (Yessir)
Ayyeee I stack it high and it don’t fold yeah
I got coverage freckles and moles yeah
I am the niche like a mol
My momma say we need some acres just to hold us
Spend a stack and get it right back yeah
I’m a peace with my smoke sack yeah (With my smoke sack)
And I know my family got my back
You feel this beat up in yo soul you gotta run it back (Run it back)
Before I run away from all my fuckin problems
Or lose my mind and go insane
Imma run a fuckin check up
Imma run a fuckin check up
Oooo
Before I die make the vision come to life
I’m a mastermind I’m out my brain
Imma run a fuckin check up
Imma run a fuckin check up
Oooo
I know you coming for my place
Cuz shorty coming from my place like everyday
I’m whipping in and out of state can’t change the pace
I twist a wood for every word I’d never say
But I told ya I ain’t never sober
No one really knows ya
Now you off the doja
Now you on promoters
Putting on a show for whoever
Stuntin like its worth the effort
And now you on goooo
Now you on the road
Maybe there’s nothing for us left
Now I need a bag for every set
I’ll stake it on a nigga rep (Before I run away)
Before I run away from all my fuckin problems
Or lose my mind and go insane
Imma run a fuckin check up
Imma run a fuckin check up
Oooo
Before I die make the vision come to life
I’m a mastermind I’m out my brain
Imma run a fuckin check up
Imma run a fuckin check up
Oooo
