No Excuse
L.A. Symphony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To be be honest I just don't know how you do it
Niggas talk behind my back but yeah I knew it
I be turning Shii to stone like madusa
Aye aye aye aye aye I was rooting for ya
The whole time y'all was tripping I was rooting
Anything my people need you know I'll do it for you
AHHHhhhhhhhh
Niggas lying they make believe like mythology
Hard to find if you think I'm hiding I'm by the beach
A nigga try it just flip his car no apologies
Let's just roll a big ass blunt of that 93
Lexus on the highway I'm doing 93
Next up want a Bentley coupe and I'm buying 3
Flex up I be throwing wood like a flying tree
Yessir know the truth hurt but don't you lie to me
It's messed up how you call a Uber but ride for me
Don't let up cause I'm the person they try to be
It's messed up you ain't living right but you try to give my lectures
My mind be moving by itself it's just a Tesla
I be waiting to do my stunts cause I ain't extra
