(Taurus)

Breathe slow, slow, stalkin' that
Smoke 'em like 'dro, 'dro, let 'em hit 'em up (brrt)
Take it easy, move with ease, ayy
If the reaper come for you in your sleep, ayy
Don't pussy out, don't pussy out (ayy)
I was ready for that (ready)
Young niggas facin' jail and death, but I was ready for that
When big bro took me on my first hit, said, "Hold it steady and clap" (baow)
And I was ready for that (you know that), but I wasn't ready for Cap
I wasn't ready to snap (snapped out), I wasn't thirty as Max
I don't need no more gun case right now, but it's still on my lap (I got that)
I knew sittin' in that trap all day can't get me richer than rap
Put my hood on the map and my city on my back (my back)
Don't post pistols on my Snap' (at all)
When the reaper come, ain't trippin', 'cause my son's just gon' have it (you know that)
And my plug comin' back, all my royalties, that's facts (facts)
I ain't bought no Richard Mille, 'cause my lawyer fees, they high (high)
I react, I don't get get-back, you touch me, you gon' die (pussy)

Breathe slow, slow, stalkin' that
Smoke 'em like 'dro, 'dro, let 'em hit 'em up (brrt)
Take it easy (ayy), move with ease, ayy (ayy)
If the reaper come for you in your sleep, ayy
Don't pussy out, don't pussy out

I saw blood brains (no bap), too many thugs lame (it's right)
Niggas made guns flame, but ain't no gun ranges
Young niggas ain't even aimin', straight gangbangin', dangerous
Commitin' crimes, heinous, niggas ain't never gon' change (fuck)
OG's never gon' change (fuck), walk up to smoke a stranger (fuck)
He let the judge hang him, couldn't control his anger (damn)
Then he went insane ('sane), he be feelin' strange
But he still the same, he still with his gang (gang, gang)
Nigga, what gang? (Gang) can't even trust gang (what gang?)
Feel like, "Fuck gang" (fuck gang), wish your luck changed (luck changed)
This how things go (okay), he ain't even know
Street life, ain't no team goals, on hits, breathe slow

Breathe slow, slow, stalkin' that
Smoke 'em like 'dro, 'dro, let 'em hit 'em up (brrt)
Take it easy (ayy), move with ease, ayy (ayy)
If the reaper come for you in your sleep, ayy
Don't pussy out, don't pussy out

It's like I'm livin' in the dark, yeah
But I'm still doin' shows, yeah
I can't see where I'm goin'
But I'ma GOAT so I get gotted by my whores
Got kids in my rear view, that's keepin' me goin'
Rollin', goin', rollin', keepin' me goin', rollin'
Keepin' me on, rollin', yeah

Breathe slow, slow, stalkin' that
Smoke 'em like 'dro, 'dro, let 'em hit 'em up (brrt)
Take it easy (ayy), move with ease, ayy (ayy)




If the reaper come for you in your sleep, ayy
Don't pussy out, don't pussy out

In the first verse, the lyrics emphasize the need to remain calm and composed in dangerous situations. The line "Breathe slow, slow, stalkin' that / Smoke 'em like 'dro, 'dro, let 'em hit 'em up" suggests a sense of control and precision when engaging in violent acts. However, it also warns against underestimating the consequences, as it states, "If the reaper come for you in your sleep, ayy / Don't pussy out, don't pussy out."
