I ain't in the business of repeating my my self twice
Let's go
We just made the news and nobody had to die (mh-mh)
We ain't on the run, we ain't never had to hide (uh-uh)
I been on the way, while you niggas on the ride (yeah)
They wanted me dead (dead), bitch, I'm still alive
Banging on the net, but they never be outside
And I see 'em fold, I can never act surprise
Aim for the head (head), shattered they pride (pride)
Camo on a nigga, want a nigga, but I'm never into (mink shit)
Wait until I'm done for the applause, ayy (mink shit)
I can spot the bullshit from afar, ayy (mink shit)
That BB-gun won't help you in a war
I should be in a Tesla
Then we swish these heads that I got up on the board
Yeah (yeah), yeah (yeah)
Heard you tryna be the big dawg
I gave them the sauce

She want my baby, but to fuck me, gotta pay me for it too (pay me for it)
I was showin' niggas love, they wanna hate me out the blue
But it's cool, it ain't lonely in this coupe
I ain't hidin' from the truth
I go disco, crack it like a wishbone (like a wishbone)
I don't kiss hoes, mouth like a fishbowl (like a fishbowl)
I'm a sicko, think I gotta switch flows (gotta switch flows)
Fuck the lipstick, the Birkin hold a pistol
You can't be lackin', I can show you boys what happened
I'm the only one who didn't need the boy to get it crackin'
Heard they got him, man, what happened?
That's the consequence of cappin'

Who is armed and dangerous has barricaded himself for hours
We're not going to show you the house
Just to maintain he integrity of this ongoing investigation
But what we can tell you is that we're near-
