The Editor
Editor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Imma catch a snitch then imma pop 'em like it's quidditch
Imma run a fade on your house now, this cribbage
Not your business
Do this shit too simple
It's the principle
Imma sell some copies of my music up in physical
Imma take your bitch ass to class call it simple school
Higher a professor cuz you know that I'm too cool for you
Then imma take my girl
Tell her she my world
Take her to all the places I know you can't afford
From Paris to London
To Cali I'm busting
Then we gon' bring it back and you gon' see who she be trusting
I'm not playin'
Spitting real shit, no heart so I'm just clubbing
Spitting all this real man I don't do it for nothing
My flow to cold but I'm not Russian
You can call me underground but you can't take that shit to Tubman
I'm abundantly spitting
Like camels in Sahara
Yes I do peep the vision
I just think you need it clearer
Take a look in that mirror
Lookin like that discount that muh'fucking clearance
I can't relate I guess, I guess I should call it fate
Got my momma at my house dictating my day to day
I can't wait just to say
(Not a) damn thing when I leave the muh'fucking house
I'm the predator, The Editor, how Imma make it out
But I'm still chillin' at the top like a muh'fucking scout
No doubt, I'm getting fame
No doubt, I'm getting clout
(All these) rappers sound the same
Y'all should really be ashamed
Getting bested by that kid but he just got his own lane
I rap and I direct
I make cover art the best
Always under pressure but I'm never in distress
I produce, get lettuce
Everybody else at my feet like a fetish
I run the streets from the East to the West
And every other block North to South know I'm the best
I'll put that on my label and I'll say it from my chest
I don't need to fake flex cause I got what's real
Spit it from lips cause I'm just too ill
I spit it like I'm gifted
I do it with persistence
I go hard on the beat like a piston
I'm just living
Think you need a genie cause all you do is wishing
Run the game up and imma clean it like some dishes
Cause I'm pristine, I'm clean, I'm mean
I do everything
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
I don't write verses bitch I write stanzas
Shawty on my lap like this is Christmas and I'm Santa




That ass on my wishlist, I'm the man of the hour
I plan to devour cause I got the power
