Yeah, yeah, yeah
Aha, is that Kory on the beat?

But right now I need to be higher
And damn, that lil' bitch fine
But ain't no way she gonβ€² get hired
β€²Cause this lil' heart of mine
Seems like itβ€²s finna be expired (Yeah)
Tell 'em just to charge it to the game
No, I donβ€²t trust these bitches
See, I only trust my gang
Man, these people actin' different
Donβ€²t think I could handle fame
Yeah, the way they fucking switch up make a nigga go insane

Vroom, finna skrrt my tire
All you hear is that demon shit
Yeah, you know lil' Lone be on fire
Yeah, and that's a demon bitch
Where my lilβ€² soul go?
Damn, she got it, yeah
Know we love narcotics
And the way she ride my dick
Woulda thought this bitch came with some damn hydraulics
Yes, I touch money, didnβ€²t go to college
Got this shit off real street knowledge
Got your bitch off a Percocet, no Lil Gotit
I'm a real, rich slime, yeah, know Iβ€²m 'bout it
Iβ€²m a real young nigga, you know I'm β€²bout it, dawg
Know I got me and I got my dawgs
Origami, niggas bound to fold
Forever straight, don't worry 'bout me, dawg
Catch me, Iβ€²m about to fall
And Iβ€²m with my Blooda
He gon' pop it off
Can I get your number
Bitch, letβ€²s chop it up
Got the devil on me
I can't shake him off
And I thought I told you once
Iβ€²m moving fast, lil' baby, now Iβ€²m lost

And yeah, I told a lie, but I'm no liar
I been gettin' high
But right now I need to be higher
And damn, that lilβ€² bitch fine
But ainβ€²t no way she gon' get hired
β€²Cause this lil' heart of mine
Seems like itβ€²s finna be expired (Yeah)
Tell 'em just to charge it to the game
No, I donβ€²t trust these bitches
See, I only trust my gang
Man, these people actin' different
Don't think I could handle fame




Yeah, the way they fucking switch up make a nigga go insane
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
