Uh uh
Uh, uh uh, uh, uh, uh
Guess I'm finna pop shit
Niggas run and they hide when I drop shit
Balenciagas on my paw print
Twelve ask a nigga questions
Wait, I mean I didn't see shit
I line 'em up and then I shoot
I Bloc B shit
They gon' miss me when I leave shit
'Cause all these other rap
Niggas won't be shit
Uh, I gotta check the stash
New whip, oh my God, you gotta check the dash
Real-ass nigga, so I don't fuck with trash
Niggas mad 'cause I'm makin'
Cash fast like Dash, yo
My big bro is telling me
"You finna blow, lil' bro, be a celebrity"
And I don't even need no melody
I'm killin' rappers
All you niggas is in jeopardy
Lil' boy, I am killing ya
Keep a stack in the bank, no Azealia
Last night, I just made about a milli', uh
On my soul, man, you niggas not real enough
Uh, lil' boy, I am killing ya
Keep a stack in the bank, no Azealia
Last night, I just made about a milli', uh
On my soul, man, you niggas not real enough
Ugh, you niggas not real e-
Pour up the cup with some lean, yes

Flow is on go, and you know that my bro
Chop off your pinkie toe, so lay low
He a killer
Yeah, platinum Pateks, Yappas automatic
Lil Nas X up next
So you upset, say, "He problematic"
Niggas so dramatic, uh
Yo, I'm James, yes, I'm Harden
I go gorilla when guardin'
Shit on you niggas, I'm fartin'
Minks and chinchillas, I'm startin'
I'm disregardin' all your barkin'
At a party and I'm sparkin'
So fuck the sneak-dissing, please listen
You beef with yourself
While my 'Rari is parkin' bitch
Lil' boy, I am killing ya
Keep a stack in the bank, no Azealia
Last night, I just made about a milli', uh
On my soul, man, you niggas not real enough
Uh, lil' boy, I am killing ya
Keep a stack in the bank, no Azealia
