Burna
Coolie baby hit the kill switch
I know some niggas who′ll pull up on you real quick
I got that
I know we lookin' like a meal ticket
But if you disrespect the crew, you gotta deal with it
We ain't on the same page boy
I snatch the mic, you try to walk up on my stage boy
I got that
See I don′t do it one way boy
I took the slave boy, freed him from the cage boy
I got that
Said you got a couple niggas with you in the city
With your pretty bitches taking pictures with you
I got that
How you go from rappin′ like you went to college
Droppin' knowledge to this track and actin′ like you with it
I got that
I be drinkin' heavy liquor
That′s the only time a nigga gon' decide what I′ma give him
I got that
You be steady second guessin',
You got problems and you stressin',
You ain′t seein′ no direction nigga
I got that
You ain't seen this fuckin′ caliber, you're just a dabbler
We ain′t the same line straddler, I'm not a battler
An amateur, and not a haggler, bitch I ain′t playin'
Look I got the wood, I'm a paddler
I got that
Ain′t a motherfucker savage
And don′t bring a bitch around me
Fuck it up and probably damage her
Don't hand her into four-nine
No one′s fucking manager
I ain't responsible and I don′t no one's fuckin′ handler
I got that
Coolie baby hit the kill switch
I know some niggas who'll pull up on you real quick
I got that
I know we lookin' like a meal ticket
But if you disrespect the crew, you gotta deal with it
I got that
We ain′t on the same page boy
I snatch the mic, you try to walk up on my stage boy
I got that
See I don′t do it one way boy
I took the slave boy, freed him from the cage boy
I got that
I don't do the disrespectful shit
Somebody probably should′ve told you who you messin' with
I got that
You ain′t takin' up prerequisites
And that′s the only thing I'm seeing as a definite
I got that
Don't nobody know your name no
She tryna kick it with the nigga with the chin though
And I′ma probably knock the pussy out the bando
She never scopin′ boy, she did it when she can no
I got that
Get familiar, I am chiller than manilla
That incision like a scissor
I could get it all delivered
This one thing you gon' remember
See when you don′t have a filter
You gon' have some that attack you
And these women gon′ be bitter
I'm a lover, I′m a fighter
I'm a saint and I'm a sinner
You ain′t watering the plants
And the flowers finna wither
Man it′s hard to be this quiet
My attention is the center
I can handle what you can't
And that is exactly where we differ
I got that
Coolie baby hit the kill switch

I know we lookin' like a meal ticket
But if you disrespect the crew, you gotta deal with it

See I don't do it one way boy

It's good. But, what happened to clarity? Granted, Joey is cleaner then a lot of the mumble rappers right now. But... There are times he isn't clear with the lyrics. The beginning gave me goosebumps though.
