Control
Bigs Lyrics

I look up
I am focused and determined to succeed

Yeah and I take my time nigga
I am patient and deliberate in my actions

I'mma take my time, woah
I will not rush or be rushed

Power moves only
I only make strategic and impactful decisions

Boy I'm 'bout my business on business
I am serious and dedicated to my work

I drink liquor on liquor
I indulge in excess and enjoy the finer things

I had women on women
I had multiple romantic partners

Yeah that's bunk bed bitches
I had so many women, they had to share beds

I've done lived more than an eighty year old man still kickin'
I have experienced more in my life than most elderly people

Cause they live for some moments, and I live for a livin'
While others focus on fleeting experiences, I prioritize making a living

But this for the girls that barely let me get to first base
This is dedicated to the girls who were not interested in progressing our relationship

On some ground ball shit
On some basic and unimpressive actions

Cause now I run my city on some town hall shit
I am in control and influential in my city's affairs

They prayin' on my motherfuckin' downfall bitch like a drought but
They wish for my failure and downfall like a dry spell

You gon' get this rain like it's May weather
You will face the consequences and challenges I bring

G.O.O.D. Music, Ye weather
I bring the same impact and influence as Kanye West and his label

Champagne just tastes better
I enjoy the finer things in life and savor the success

They told me I never boy, never say never
People doubted my abilities and told me I would never succeed, but I proved them wrong

Swear flow special like an infant's first steps
My rap style is unique and comparable to a baby's first successful steps

I got paid then reverse debts
I earned money and paid off my debts

Then I finally found a girl that reverse stress
I found a partner who relieves my stress and brings me peace

So now I'm talkin' to the reaper to reverse death
I am confronting mortality and seeking ways to overcome death

So I can kick it with my granddad, take him for a ride
I want to spend time with my grandfather and show him my accomplishments

Show him I made somethin' out myself and not just tried
I want to demonstrate that I have achieved success and not just attempted to do so

Show him the house I bought the fam, let him tour inside
I want to proudly show my family the house I purchased and let my grandfather explore it

No matter how far ahead I get, I always feel behind
I constantly feel a sense of inadequacy and feel like I need to achieve more

In my mind, but fuck tryin' and not doin'
I dismiss the idea of attempting something without achieving it

Cause not doin' is somethin' a nigga not doin'
Not taking action and not achieving is not something I am accepting

I grew up to Em, B.I.G., and Pac bitch, and got ruined
I was influenced by great rappers like Eminem, The Notorious B.I.G., and Tupac, and it has shaped me

So until I got the same crib B.I.G. had in that Juicy vid bitch
Until I achieve the same level of success that The Notorious B.I.G. portrayed in his music video for the song 'Juicy'

I can't motherfuckin' stop movin'
I cannot stop progressing and moving forward

Go against me, you won't stop losin'
If you oppose me, you will continually face defeat

From the city where every month is May-
I am from a city where every month is filled with struggle and hardship

Day at home, spray your dome
In my city, violence occurs daily and can result in fatal shootings

Niggas get sprayed up like AK was cologne for a paycheck or loan
People get shot with an AK-47 as if it were a common occurrence for money or debts

Yeah I know that shit ain't fair
I acknowledge the injustice and unfairness of the situation

They say that Detroit ain't got a chance, we ain't even got a mayor
Detroit is seen as a city without hope and even lacks effective leadership

You write your name with a Sharpie, I write mine in stone
Your influence and impact is temporary, while mine is permanent and enduring

I knew that the world was for the taking and it wouldn't take long
I always believed that I could achieve success and it would happen quickly

We on, tryna be better than everybody that's better than everybody
We strive to surpass those who are already considered the best

Rep Detroit, everybody, Detroit versus everybody
We represent and defend Detroit, as we compete against everyone who doubts us

I'm so fuckin' first class I could spit up on every pilot
I am so superior and successful that even pilots would be honored to serve me

The city's my Metropolis, feel it, it's metabolic
The city is my domain and its energy is pulsating and impactful

And I'm over niggas sayin' they're the hottest niggas
I am tired of hearing others claim to be the best

Then run to the hottest niggas just to stay hot
Then they try to associate with the most successful individuals to maintain their own relevance

I'm one of the hottest because I flame drop
I am considered one of the best because I consistently release incredible music

Drop fire, and not because I'm name droppin'
I release amazing music, not because I am referencing famous names

Hall of Fame droppin'
I am achieving great success and recognition in the music industry

And I ain't takin' shit from nobody unless they're OG's
I only respect and listen to those who are experienced and have earned their credibility

Cause that ain't the way of an OG
I adhere to the values and principles of a true OG

So I G-O collect more G's, every dollar
So I will continue to accumulate wealth, earning every dollar

Never changed though, I'm just the new version of old me
I have remained true to myself, while evolving into a more refined version

Forever hot headed but never got cold feet
I am always passionate and driven, never fearful or indecisive

Got up in the game won't look back at my old seats
Having achieved success, I refuse to dwell on my past struggles

Clique so deep we take up the whole street
My group of friends is so large and influential that we occupy the entire street

I need a bitch so bad that she take up my whole week, Sean Don
I desire a woman so captivating that she consumes my time and attention completely

Miscellaneous minds are never explainin' their minds
People with random and unorganized thoughts are unable to effectively communicate their ideas

Devilish grin for my alias aliens to respond
I wear a devilish grin as a disguise to provoke and challenge those who oppose me

Peddlin' sin, thinkin' maybe when you get old you realize
Engaging in sinful activities, questioning if one realizes the consequences with age

I'm not gonna fold or demise
I will not succumb to pressure or fail

(I don't smoke crack, motherfucker I sell it!)
I am involved in the drug trade, selling crack cocaine for profit

Bitch, everything I rap is a quarter piece to your melon
My lyrics are powerful and impactful, they hit you like a piece of crack to the head

So if you have a relapse, just relax and pop in my disc
If you experience a setback or fall back into old habits, listen to my music for comfort

Don't pop me no fucking pill, I'mma a pop you and give you this
Don't rely on drugs, instead I will retaliate and attack you with my music

Tell Flex to drop a bomb on this shit
Tell the DJ (Funkmaster Flex) to play this song with great intensity and impact

So many bombs, ring the alarm like Vietnam in this shit
The numerous bombs in this song create a sense of urgency and chaos, similar to the Vietnam War

One at a time, I line 'em up and bomb on they mom
I target and attack one person at a time, causing harm and distress to their loved ones

While she watchin' the kids
While their mother is left to witness the aftermath and impact

I'm in a destruction mode if the gold exists
I am in a state of causing destruction and chaos in pursuit of success

I'm important like the pope, I'm a muslim on pork
I am highly significant and influential, despite contradicting expectations

I'm Makaveli's offspring, I'm the king of New York
I am the successor of Tupac Shakur and hold the title of being the most influential artist from New York

King of the Coast, one hand, I juggle them both
I dominate both the East Coast and the West Coast rap scene effortlessly

The juggernaut's all in your jugular, you take me for jokes
I am the unstoppable force that attacks your weak point, you underestimate my abilities

Live in the basement, church pews and funeral faces
I dwell in the darker aspects of life, surrounded by death and sorrow

Cartier bracelets for my women friends I'm in Vegas
I spoil my female companions with luxurious gifts, even while in Las Vegas

Who the fuck y'all thought it's supposed to be?
Who did you think would achieve this level of success?

If Phil Jackson came back, still no coachin' me
Even if the legendary coach Phil Jackson returned, he couldn't mentor or guide me

I'm uncoachable, I'm unsociable
I cannot be coached or influenced by others, I keep to myself

Fuck y'all clubs, fuck y'all pictures, your Instagram can gobble these nuts
I don't care about your nightlife or social media, I have no respect for it

Gobble dick up 'til you hiccup, my big homie Kurupt
Engage in oral sex until you can't breathe, referencing rapper Kurupt

This the same flow that put the rap game on a crutch
My unique and influential rap style revolutionized the rap industry

I've seen niggas transform like villain Decepticons
I have witnessed people change dramatically, similar to the transforming robots in Transformers

Mollies'll prolly turn these niggas to fuckin' Lindsay Lohan
The drug MDMA (molly) will likely lead these individuals to be self-destructive, like Lindsay Lohan

A bunch of rich ass white girls lookin' for parties
A group of wealthy white girls seeking wild and extravagant parties

Playin with Barbies, wreck the Porsche before you give 'em the car key
These girls engage in reckless behavior and damage luxury cars before even handing them the keys

Judgement to the monarchy, blessings to Paul McCartney
Criticism towards those in power and admiration for musician Paul McCartney

You called me a black Beatle, I'm either that or a Marley
You referred to me as a black member of The Beatles, I could also be compared to Bob Marley in terms of influence

(I don't smoke crack motherfucker I sell it)
I repeat that I am involved in the drug trade, selling crack cocaine for profit

I'm dressed in all black, this is not for the fan of Elvis
I wear all black as a statement, refusing to conform or cater to the liking of Elvis fans

I'm aimin' straight for your pelvis, you can't stomach me
I am directly targetting your most intimate area, you cannot handle me

You plan on stumpin' me? Bitch I've been jumped before you put a gun on me
You think you can surprise or defeat me? I have faced adversity and violence long before you

Bitch I put one on yours, I'm Sean Connery
I retaliate and put a gun on you, referencing actor Sean Connery who played James Bond

James Bonding with none of you niggas, climbing 100 mil in front of me
I am surpassing all of you, accumulating a fortune of a hundred million dollars

And I'm gonna get it even if you're in the way
I will achieve my goals and wealth regardless of who stands in my path

And if you're in it, better run for Pete's sake
If you are involved in obstructing my progress, it is advisable that you run away for your own safety

I heard the barbershops be in great debates all the time
The barbershops are known for intense and heated discussions

Bout who's the best MC? Kendrick, Jigga and Nas
They argue about who the greatest rappers are, mentioning Kendrick Lamar, JAY-Z, and Nas

Eminem, Andre 3000, the rest of y'all
They mention Eminem and Andre 3000 as other contenders

New niggas just new niggas, don't get involved
New artists are not even considered in the debate, they should not participate

And I ain't rockin no more designer shit
I am no longer interested in wearing expensive designer clothes

White T's and Nike Cortez, this is red Corvettes anonymous
I now prefer a simple style with white t-shirts and Nike Cortez shoes, representing a rebellious and aggressive approach

I'm usually homeboys with the same niggas I'm rhymin' wit
I typically have close friendships with the same individuals I collaborate with musically

But this is hip hop and them niggas should know what time it is
However, in the world of hip hop, these artists should be aware of the competitive nature

And that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big KRIT, Wale
This statement applies to fellow rappers Jermaine Cole (J. Cole), Big KRIT, and Wale

Pusha T, Meek Millz, A$AP Rocky, Drake
It also includes Pusha T, Meek Millz, A$AP Rocky, and Drake

Big Sean, Jay Electron', Tyler, Mac Miller
And even Big Sean, Jay Electronica, Tyler, The Creator, and Mac Miller

I got love for you all but I'm tryna murder you niggas
I have respect and appreciation for these artists, but I want to outperform and overshadow them

Tryna make sure your core fans never heard of you niggas
I am attempting to diminish their influence and ensure their dedicated fans are exposed to better music

They dont wanna hear not one more noun or verb from you niggas
They are tired of hearing uninspired and repetitive lyrics from these artists

What is competition? I'm tryna raise the bar high
I am not interested in competing against others, I want to set a new standard of excellence

Who tryna jump and get it? You better off tryna skydive
Those who attempt to achieve the same level of success are better off attempting something incredibly dangerous

Out the exit window of 5 G5's with 5 grand
Jumping out of a private jet's window with five thousand dollars

With your granddad as the pilot he drunk as fuck tryna land
Your grandfather, who is heavily intoxicated, attempts to safely land the plane

With the hand full of arthritis and popping prosthetic leg
While struggling with arthritis and relying on a prosthetic leg

Bumpin Pac in the cockpit so the shit that pops in his head
Listening to Tupac in the plane's cockpit, influencing his thoughts

Is an option of violence, someone heard the stewardess said
The flight attendant overhears and becomes aware of the potential for violent actions

That your parachute is a latex condom hooked to a dread
Your parachute is actually a humorously ineffective makeshift device made with a condom and a dreadlock

You could check my name on the books
You can find evidence of my accomplishments and influence

I Earth, Wind, and Fire'd the verse, then rained on the hook
I delivered an exceptional and impactful verse, then followed it with a captivating and memorable chorus

The legend of Dorothy Flowers proclaimed from the roof
The greatness of Dorothy Flowers is celebrated and acknowledged publicly

The tale of magnificent king who came from the nooks
The story of a remarkable king, who emerged from humble beginnings

Of the wild magnolia, mother of many soldiers
From the untamed and resilient environment of the magnolia tree, who birthed courageous warriors

We live by every single word she ever told us
We honor and abide by the wise instructions she passed on to us

Watch over your shoulders
Remain cautious and aware of potential threats

And keep a tin of beans for when the weather turns the coldest
Be prepared and have a supply of food in case of extreme cold weather

The Lord is our shepherd, so our cup runneth over
We trust in a higher power to provide abundance and blessings

Put your trust in the Lord but tether your Chevy Nova
Place your faith in the divine, but also secure your belongings and possessions

I'm spittin' this shit for closure
I am expressing these words to bring closure and resolution

And God is my witness, so you could get it from Hova
I attest to the truth of my words, and God himself can confirm it

For all you magicians that's fidgeting with the cobra
To all the artists who try to manipulate and deceive, I am observing your every move

I'm silent as a rock, 'cause I came from a rock
I remain quiet and unmoved, as I emerged from humble beginnings

That's why I came with a rock, then signed my name on the Roc
That's why I arrived with strength and power and affiliated myself with JAY-Z's record label

Draw a line around some Earth, then put my name on the plot
I claim my territory and establish my presence, ensuring my name is recognized

Cause I endured a lot of pain for everything that I got
I have overcome immense adversity and faced many challenges to obtain my success

The eyelashes like umbrellas when it rains from the heart
Tears, represented by eyelashes, provide comfort and protection during moments of emotional pain

And the tissue is like an angel kissin' you in the dark
The softness of tissue resembles the gentle touch and comfort of an angel in times of darkness

You go from blind sight to hindsight, passion of the Christ
You transition from a state of ignorance and unawareness to a retrospective understanding, similar to the story of Jesus

Right, to baskin' in the limelight, it take time to get your mind right
Then, you thrive and enjoy the attention, but it takes time to align your thoughts and perspectives

Jay Electricity, PBS mysteries
I am Jay Electronica, a mysterious and enigmatic figure in the rap industry

In a lofty place, tangling with Satan over history
I reside in a high and esteemed position, challenging Satan himself in a battle for historical significance

You can't say shit to me, Alhamdulillah
No one can say anything negative to me, expressing gratitude to God

It's strictly by faith that we made it this far
It is solely through our belief and trust in a higher power that we have achieved this level of success
