I see you lying lil homie, that's big boss capping
If I got the bag, she got the bag then we okay
If i'm down bad, but she my half, we on gang
Now if I tell you I got it that mean I got it we don't pop it
Cause i hate how they pop it, show it then blow it empty pockets
Niggas toxic, it's nauseous, when niggas cap for trending topics
But i'm better, much better
Take me away, yes I am withdrawn
A seat at the table, that's upper echelon
You want a attention, wells here's a response
When I talk now, they listen
When I talk now, its tension
When I talk now, its best shut up babe girl and pay attention
I done came in made my imprint
So i guess i'm stamped or sum
If i'm the mail its priority
I need my expressive shipping
I leveled up my lifestyle, now i float like i'm in the wind
If you didn't get the message now,
I bet I go and press resend,
Bet i press resend, I bet i, said I bet I
Big boss moves, big boss habits
I see you lying lil homie, that's big boss capping
If I got the bag, she got the bag then we okay
If i'm down bad, but she my half, we on gang
Now if I tell you I got it that mean I got it we don't pop it
Cause i hate how they pop it, show it then blow it empty pockets
Niggas toxic, it's nauseous, when niggas cap for trending topics
But i'm better, much better
I can't flex for socials because they know my real motive
How i stand is how I stand it's like I got my own oder
Cause i'm up top with big dawgs
I'm up top and they pissed off, flicked off
Can you imagine what it's like to stand out not stand off
I'm giving sermons to these niggas,
Now i'm preaching young dolph
From one bed room till i'm flexing in the loft
I had to tell myself, that I really want it all
Big boss moves, big boss habits
I see you lying lil homie, that's big boss capping
If I got the bag, she got the bag then we okay
If i'm down bad, but she my half, we on gang
Now if I tell you I got it that mean I got it we don't pop it
Cause i hate how they pop it, show it then blow it empty pockets
Niggas toxic, it's nauseous, when niggas cap for trending topics
But i'm better, much better
