Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ou I can hear myself too
Yea, yea, woo
I feel like Mario
I'm a superhero now I'm a Scorpio
I'm not doing what I was, all that cardio
Text from twenty different models where the party yo
I feel like Mario you hardly know Rosario
Come sit passenger coupe and feel motor go
Don't be in shock im really cool I made honor roll
I got the knowledge and the strength I'm a walking scroll

δΈεŒηš„οΌŒδΈδΈ€ζ ·ηš„
I got tons of different flows
Do you do yoga, I like that
Bitch im Super Mario
Hit the flow and light the floor
DJ open up the door
And tell the baddies come turn up
I got the hits to sell out clubs
Spitting fireballs in rhythm format
Step on you turn you into a dormat
Bowser moves I bob and weave
I counter too my senses keen
Focus every day don't tell me stop this rap gonna pay
Im rocking out the stage
δ½ δ»¬ιƒ½ζ˜― ζˆ‘ηš„ play, yea

Im looking forward never in the past
Not even in the future yank the cord
And I get it fast i'm riding appaloosas
That horse and my whip is fast you get it
Ill out cruise you
Flying first thats in any class nigga I'm unusual
Your face my dude I'll bruise you
Not my bro so keep it pushing
The love that's not an issue
Got a bug to be successful
The time I sit I think and plan
I'm grateful i don't sin, I land
Im Alien of different lands
Im crazy in a cage like rams
You wanna shut me up well dam
I'm led by God I'll never clam
Riding up every wave
The speakers bounce then I get paid
You tried to pounce but then got slayed
I let the queen bitch karma play
I'm from NOLA aye baby
I level up ya thats my thang
Im highly skilled bitch this my trade
Ain't got a twin you saw my face
I been destined for this fame
Im magical I get my way

I'm pretty and that's costly better respect me my skin chocolate
If you bless me here's some rockets
Yea you don't compare there notches
I'm up up all the way
Thank you all the days I prayed
Honestly I had it in my mind
So thank you God I Say
I take mine no seconds waisted
Second line cause life is great
I got all these dimes like chase bank
Cash it up and that's a pay day




Im the one and this my gateway
Cash it up and that's a payday
