Ya ya ya ya ya ya
Alright, J.I.D and Christo
Y'all niggas need to lay off the drugs
Some of y'all need to lay off the dope
My niggas getting it straight off the boat
Pure cut, put it straight to your nose
I ain't nosy, but I know what I know
Mr. Know It All, oh here he go
I'm the GOAT, I never go with the flow
Throwing shots boy, blow for a blow
I'm the nigga kick the do' with the dough
I'm the nigga fuck the hoe with the hoe
I'm the nigga lit the blunt with the blunt
I'ma get it 'cause I want what I want
I'ma say this shit again and again
I'ma go and put the shit to an end
I'm the sickest with the pencil and pen
Hit the blunt and mix the Hen' with the wait
I'ma go ahead and lay off the Xan's
I'ma fall back sipping the lean
I gotta make sure my vision is clear
Oh God, no, it's not what it seems
Six, five, four, one, two, three
.45 toe, you know me
You don't what smoke, so what it's gon' be?
Gotta watch what you say when you looking at me
Looking at God, looking for leaders
Looking for keys, look at the pain in your eyes
Nigga, look where we been
Look at our wins, look at our sins, and look at our skin
I've been on a frenzy binge trying to get me a Benz
Your fuzzy ass dance won't fuck up the ends
Oh God, no, where are my friends?
Lord forgive me yeah, I need to repent
My blood need to lay off the drugs
Yeah God, they ain't praying enough
Niggas dying, we ain't saying enough
Cops fire, stockpiling rottweilers
Tell my little niggas lay off the stuff
Ronald Reagan, I can't thank him enough
Nah, I'm playing, nigga racist as fuck
Told my nigga if leave a pack of ports around me, I'ma take em'
And throw em' away
Smoke em' around me, I'ma break em'
And we almost had got into fighting and I'm talking
My dead dad finna fade him, shit
Maybe I did too much, but fuck it
I love my nigga, I'ma say it
And he probably thinkin' I'm a player hater
I don't hate a player, I just need all my niggas to wake up
And take a real good look, we along way from Decatur
Long day still ahead of us
Grown dads still scared of us
I'm just working my incredibles
Stick my dick into the inevitable
So fuck whatever happen, fucking cinematic
Sins of the father, I'ma fucking addict
Understand the diction, so I'm sympathetic
But I know, I know, I know that I gotta be strong
I ain't trying to be where I don't belong
Little syrup sipping out of a foam
Little powder put the pot in the bong
I ain't tripping, I ain't saying it's wrong
But, it's some other shit, we can be on
Gangster raise hell

Yeah
The old people that's where you get blessed, the bless comes to you
People don't know bless you can see but it come, it come, it come
It come depending on wh-what you do to people
Uh-huh
That's where your bless comes from, you know what I mean
Yeah
You can see that, look at that, look at our first President Reagan, dead, you don't know him
Yeah, I did
Well, okay, he was a criminal, know what I mean
But look a-at Jimmy Carter
Uh-huh
Jimmy Carter more older than Reagan
Uh-huh
Regan gone already, Carter is still here




Mhm, He's a good person
Because he got an open heart, never had a war when he was president, never hurt nobody, happy

"Sins of the father, I'm a fuckin' addict
Understand addiction, so I'm sympathetic
But I know, I know, I know that I gotta be strong
I ain't tryna be where I don't belong
Little syrup sippin' out of a foam

those last few bars hit especially hard for me. Reminds me of my life experiences and my friends.
