Flex
KJ-52 & Poetics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Tell the whole world I'm a flex on em
Flex on em flex on em
Watch me supplex on em
Watching from the sidelines drawing a play
The referee can’t see the foul, I’m bout to call it a day
But just before I threw the towel I heard a message that say
The enemy is on the prowl, you can’t leave it this way
So I hopped back in that 22
Dancing on the beat like it’s JuJu
I can’t leave it incomplete, what would you do?
The enemy, he say he feel it, (he) think it’s voodoo
Who knew?
I’d still be rapping, man it wasn’t the plan
I still remember hitting KJ up when I was a fan
Didn’t care about a sale, didn’t call it a brand
I just thought the rhymes were fly, and I’m praying they land
Yes sir!
In the hearts of people that’s in the dark
Maybe the words I write could be the spark
Leave it to them to argue about a chart
I’m trying to be the start
I’m trying to leave a mark
Somebody stuck me for like 20k
They took the money then they went away
Things got ugly but I been ok
Sometimes you gotta know the plans got to changes
Fin to say fin to state had it all then it crashed
Been this way get to say now its all coming back
I be flexing on them but its never been about the cash
Blessings that i had can’t be counted with the things I have
If you would’ve caught me on the wrong day
I would've spassed out like im kanye
So many times I went the wrong way
I had to find what the psalm say
Rolling now with andre doing just what God say
Just wanna eat picante and watch the palm sway
And I aint gone fall away
Even when they said I was washed like the laundry
