Mhmm mhmm mhmm
Yeah yeah
I just want the money
Fuck that lil bitch I don't need her
If she waste time Imma leave her
Got credentials like a teacher
Just want my sound to be heard
My music loud on the speaker
They gon' be mad in the bleachers
Can’t fuck with snakes, don’t care to meet ya
I just be doing my thang
These niggas fraud, they just be phony
So Imma just stay in my lane
Eating my veggies but these niggas corny
Don’t know what goes on in my brain
Been going through shit, I been down and lonely
But I haven’t been the same
If you jack you fuck with me
Then you gotta show me
I peep people true colors
Loyal nigga can’t switch on my brothers (Can't fold)
Blood don’t mean that you my family
You do not fuck with me
Cause they look out for each other
Just like Khaled, man I need me another (Another one)
Stackin' my bread till I see that shit double (Cash)
Real nigga and I’m gonna stay humble
These niggas ain't real man you know they gon' fumble (He fumbled)
Had to stay outta trouble to stay on my grind (My grind)
Can’t fuck with a bitch if she wasting my time
I ain’t a artist but I’m sick of shit
So I’m painting pictures and I’m drawing the line (Drawing the line)
Can’t trust a soul cause its gon' do you slime (Slime)
And I mean that man, so I’m all about mine (About mine)
And I speak the truth it just happens to rhyme (Happens to rhyme)
I act happy but deep down I'm not fine
Man I been going through it all ah
Nobody there for me so I don’t got no one to call aye
Facing all this pressure, man I feel like Lonzo Ball (I feel like Lonzo Ball)
If you ain’t real then don’t fuck with me at all (Don't fuck with me at all)
I just want the money
Fuck that lil bitch I don't need her
If she waste time Imma leave her
Got credentials like a teacher
Just want my sound to be heard
My music loud on the speaker (My music loud on the speaker)
They gon' be mad in the bleachers (They gon' be mad)
Can't fuck with snakes, don’t care to meet ya (Can't fuck with no snakes)
I just be doing my thang
These niggas fraud, they just be phony
So Imma just stay in my lane
Eating my veggies but these niggas corny
Don’t know what goes on in my brain
Been going through shit, I been down and lonely
But I haven’t been the same
If you jack you fuck with me
Then you gotta show me
You do not know me so don’t try and judge me
Don’t try and run up get hit with this 40 (Boom)
Been feeling real low I been feeling so lonely
If you fuck with me then you gotta show me
I stay on my 10 and I’m watching my 6
Step in the booth when I’m talking my shit
I can’t fuck with a snake, I can’t fuck with no rat
So I stay on my doley, I'm getting a chip
Imma just stack it till I get rich
Ballin' on niggas I feel like a Knick
You say ya girl love you but she on my dick
I can’t trust a fem cause they be on that sneak shit
You showed me ya true colors so I won’t trip
My circle so small I can’t call it a clique
If a nigga run up Imma empty the clip
40 with a beam sending them shots at ya lip
Aye
I been losing my all trust
Gotta do it by myself like 2016 Russ
You crossed me once I let it rock
Despite what we discussed
I knew something was up
Man I felt it in my gut
I just want the money
Fuck that lil bitch I don't need her
If she waste time Imma leave her
Got credentials like a teacher
Just want my sound to be heard

They gon' be mad in the bleachers (They gon' be mad)
Can’t fuck with snakes, don’t care to meet ya (Can't fuck with a snake)
I just be doing my thang
These niggas fraud, they just be phony
So Imma just stay in my lane
Eating my veggies but these niggas corny
Don’t know what goes on in my brain
Been going through shit I been down and lonely
But I haven’t been the same
If you jack you fuck with me




Then you gotta show me
Yeah yeah

Tell me it's real
This feeling that we feel
Tell me that it's real
Don't let love come just to pass us by
Try, it's all we have to do
It's up to me and you
To make this special love last forever more
Baby, you told me that you love me and you never leave my side
Through the bitter end, through the thick and thin
You promised me baby, that you wasn't going anywhere, yes you did
Baby, keep it real, let me know just how you feel
Tell me it's real
This feeling that we feel
Tell me that it's real
Don't let love come just to pass us by
Try, it's all we have to do
It's up to me and you
To make this special love (special love) last forever more
I can't explain the way you made me feel
Every time that you told me that you loved me
And you know you did
Too many times
Just when I thought that love could never be a part of me
That's when you came along, you showed me happiness
Baby you are the best, I think you're different from the rest
And I really love you
Tell me it's real
This feeling that we feel
Tell me that it's real
Don't let love come just to pass us by
Try, it's all we have to do
It's up to me and you
To make this special love last forever more
Tell me it's real
This feeling that I feel
Tell me it's real
For your love I will do anything
Tell me it's real
This feeling that we feel
Tell me that it's real
Don't let love come just to pass us by
Try, it's all we have to do
It's up to me and you
To make this special love last forever more
Tell me it's real
This feeling that we feel
Tell me that it's real
Don't let love come just to pass us by
Try, it's all we have to do
It's up to me and you
To make this special love last forever more
Tell me it's real
(I'll be there for you, baby)
This feeling that we feel
(If you be there for me, sweetheart)
Tell me that it's real
(I thought that we were meant to be)
Don't let love come just to pass us by
(For eternity, I thought you loved me baby)
Try, it's all we have to do
(And mama told me take it slow)
(Boy you just don't know, anything about love)
It's up to me and you
(If you and I were meant to be)
To make this special love last forever more
(Then you would know, you'll be sure by the end of the song)
