"Huh, ya dig goin' up way to big, cause I gotta make sho ya dig They real count the wig
Huh, ya dig goin' up way to big, and the drip to sick disease, eat it up and split the cheese. Huh

(Loads) Time to show luv cause we in that mode. (Mode)Tell go dub cause we bout to blow
I'm go show luv with the team tryna run Tain that dream the fame ain't all it seem
I gotta big drip toss and meter with some water on me aquafina and I want a milian Christina
And a good life la vida but, I can't get amnesia
I'm breaking that bread it's a pizza go tell everybody it's time a Rollie, even though I get flay
I'm a goalie punching in always on duty. Acting up on the scene it's a movie
Yeah on big screen no TV
Ain't gotta wonder why no Stevie
Go hard cause the game ain't easy still awake when I'm feeling sleepy yeah
"Huh, ya dig goin' up way to big, cause I gotta make sho ya dig They real count the wig
Huh, ya dig goin' up way to big, and the drip to sick disease, eat it up and split the cheese. Huh
I show luv that's "All I Know" (Know) like a tow truck coming in with loads

Tragic when they hear this
I'm prove it's nothing lavish
I'm in that G-Code let the truth
Be told can't nothing hold me back
This boy in that beast-mode, I've been
Running on em, flexin on em, guessing on em
God's Blessing on em, resting on em, I just exit on em
No days off, who paved the way I've seen some brighter days free my soul astray it's yahweh
I carry heavy loads okay, looking at
These lessons I never would've made it
Show mercy ten fold prayed up when we make it. 1K and Arrow rise up from the basics
All I know from the days rapping in the basement
