Ayyyy

Add it up
All these dates on my calendar
Add it up
Keep increasing my stamina
Add it up
Keep increasing my salary
Running the faculty
See why they mad at me
Add it up
Play the game like monopoly
Add it up
Don’t know why they keep doubting me
Add it up
My new bitch Lois Lane
She tryna get saved
Like we in Metropolis
Add it up
All these dates on my calendar
Add it up
Keep increasing my stamina

Keep increasing my salary
Running the faculty
See why they mad at me

Play the game like monopoly
Add it up
Don’t know why they keep doubting me
Add it up
My new bitch Lois Lane
She tryna get saved
Like we in Metropolis
I'm out here looking like ripley
Believe it or not hoe is really me
Ballin like I’m in a major league
Had a show out in Tucker Major League
Then I called up my partner let’s make a team
Feel like Baby and Drake
Yes indeed
We like Jordan LeBron joining teams
Out here pulling my weight
Balance beam
Know the cameras gone flash when I hit the scene
I stay fresh as a bottle of listerine
I’ve been hated my whole life don’t pity me
Now these hoes wanna try me like Billie Jean
Keep a close eye on all of my enemies
I’m allergic to negative energy
Ain’t got time you should speak to my manager
He go deaf if it ain’t about the Benjamins
Add it up
All these dates on my calendar
Add it up
Keep increasing my stamina
Add it up
Keep increasing my salary
Running the faculty
See why they mad at me
Add it up
Play the game like monopoly
Add it up
Don’t know why they keep doubting me
Add it up
My new bitch Lois Lane
She tryna get saved
Like we in Metropolis
Add it up

I’m on a mission impossible
Like tryna to find family in Africa
Like tryna to get Kodak to watch his mouth
Bout to shit on you n***as laxative
They gone book me a show out in Canada
They gone claim that I owe em a feature
They gone want me to sign with the ink pen
They gone want me to sign on the dotted line
Only signing big tittiess and t-shirts
Used to dream I was fucking my teachers
I would wake up with nut on my t-shirt
Now I wake up to pussy and D cups
Try and rob me you gone meet Ms. Nina
I Can't go out like Nino and peanut
Live forever like Michael and Tito
Add it up
All these dates on my calendar
Add it up
Keep increasing my stamina
Add it up
Keep increasing my salary
