Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Goin ham these cold cuts
Walk in with a slow strut
Like look who finally showed up
Well do you know what
Goin ham these cold cuts
Walk in with a slow strut
Like look who finally showed up
Late for fashion but still coming with passion though
Attention rationed beat assassin ready to go
Nothing matters no the cake is a lie
I just wet and lather scrub rinse and I dry
So fresh
Life outta balance it’s a challenge trying to realign
I hit the panic button then I retreat to my
Old ways it’s easy bc the paths paved
So dazed burning up on these cold days.
i just hope we got a spirit
i just hope we got a spirit
I’m clutching onto pain hoping every day I feel it
This money looks appealing
Still I think love the realest
And you can’t have to much so stack it to the ceiling
Well do you know what
Goin ham these cold cuts
Walk in with a slow strut
Like look who finally showed up
Well do you know what
Goin ham these cold cuts
Walk in with a slow strut
Like look who finally showed up
Thats me
So when I walk in
I’m makin everybody look I ain’t just talkin
No I’m the chef now watch me cook
I got the recipe I got that recipe
Tryna please everybody will be the death of me
Just wanna be accept even if I’m the exception
And these are the dreams of my dreams yea that’s inception
Couldn’t wait to nit pick me
Legs arms are dissected
More stress is erected through black mirror protection
I’m changing time zones
Too often my mind gone
ADHD diagnosed
Denied the meds I could have sold
Better late than never together well change the world for better
Loving this game since I met her
Let em hate we remain clever
Well do you know what
Goin ham these cold cuts
Walk in with a slow strut
Like look who finally showed up
Well do you know what
Goin ham these cold cuts
Walk in with a slow strut
Like look who finally showed up
Thats me
Look who finally showed up yea yea
Sorry for the hold up
Y’all should call me show nuff
I’m going ham with cold cuts
Ok my presence is a present we heaven sent got to represent
My presence is a present it’s evident that I’m blessing ya
They don’t want to hear no message Always want shoot the messenger
Draw the line the when they testing ya
Exterminate the pest in here then
So sit back relax don’t act so tough you think you know but your blind
Matter fact I think Your too wound up like a toy it’s time to unwind
It’s my time
Well do you know what
Goin ham these cold cuts
Walk in with a slow strut
Like look who finally showed up
Well do you know what
Goin ham these cold cuts
Walk in with a slow strut
Like look who finally showed up
Thats me
