I don’t think you who I be
I’m from the city where the lions head peak
The same dude haters didn’t believe
But the bigger I do it the better and better it feels
Why do they always think it happens overnight man
I’m just on a flight plan
From the stage to the moon but back man
Pound for pound I go like Tyson
I’m insane in the membrane
Feeling like I’m Bruce Wayne, top of the food chain
Driving in the Gold Lane, doing my own thing
Jumping on your couch like Rick James
Yeah, you can’t do it like I can
I’m the best there ever was in forever ever land
Spitting these bars like it’s my funeral plan
Doing it over and over and over like the running man, now

Cos I remember being Starvin’ Marvin
Life is better in a Aston Martin
Now they treat me like I’m foreign
My success is make 'em nauseous
I'm I going to fast, you wanna pause this?
Watch out, Roundhouse kick Chuck Norris
Boom I’m about to blow up
Where ever I go, I get 2 thumbs up
Now these suckers want my true blood
Give me that, give me that, give me that, summer love
She said I’m not even famous
But everybody love me like Raymond
She say Lay Roo please replay this
Fifty Shades of me on her playlist

Critics, what do they know
They about carve my face in Kimberly's hole
Yo you don’t even know my math
You were never in my class, you will never understand
How I minus the hate to multiply my path
So I could hold the world in my hands
Yeah yeah catch me if you can
I don’t think you got enough gas
Turning these dreams over in rands
Doing it, doing it, doing it because I can

These labels wanna sign my fame
My ex trying to get my last name
