Forest Green
Mike G. Lyrics

Follow the leader, bad senoritas in two seaters
I'm surrounded by beautiful women who are willing to do anything I say.

She loves green, that's money, Mary Jane and Margaritas
My girl likes money, weed, and alcohol.

The way it seems, the streets be looking at me like a teacher
People see me as a role model.

They hounding me, like desperate rappers waiting for a feature
People are constantly bothering me, hoping to get something from me.

I ain't saying I don't need you, I'm saying let's keep the pace
I value my independence, but we can still be together.

Should be back at your place, just being patient with your feet up
Let's relax at your house and take things slow.

They say he's so chill, how does he show no stress?
People wonder how I can stay calm and cool in stressful situations.

He can't see into the future, how does he know what's next?
People question how I can have such confidence without being able to predict the future.

Seeing all of these steps that he's taking
People are watching and analyzing my every move.

You're mistaken if they say we ain't so complex
Don't underestimate me and my crew.

I'm tryna be in a blue coupe, you can't pronounce the name
I want to have a luxurious sports car that's hard to pronounce.

With a bad yellow bitch and she's singing Purple Rain, so insane
I want to be with a beautiful woman who's awesome enough to sing a Prince classic.

And people talking down on me, I don't really think they should
People are criticizing me, but I don't think they have the right to.

They said they could do it better, I don't really think they could
Critics think they could do my job better than me, but I doubt it.

I ain't one for niggas wishes, but I wish a nigga would
I don't care about other people's opinions, but I'm daring them to test me.

This ain't as easy as it looks, I just make it look good
My job is harder than it seems, but I make it appear effortless.

If it's politics, we're the presidents so presence serves a purpose
We are the leaders in our field, and our presence makes a statement.

It's obvious that we're evidence, you're paying for a service
We are the proof of our talent, and people are paying for our services.

And I feel, you always think you're less than what you can be
I have a sense that people settle for less than they can achieve.

What does it mean if I think I'm the one these niggas can't see?
I feel like I'm overlooked or underestimated by my peers.

Gang mentality, Odd Future is a family
We have a strong group mentality, and Odd Future is like a family to me.

My niggas thrash, I was always Anti, Plan-B
My friends are wild and crazy, but I was always the one with a plan B.

Did I lose you? I know I'm much more than you're used to
I'm aware that my style may be hard to understand, but there's a lot more to me than meets the eye.

Now I got these girls stepping out from their usual
My success has allowed me to attract a new, often conservative, audience.

So they tune in, T.I., see I, realize I'm a stand up guy
People are starting to recognize and respect me for who I am.

And these niggas realize they can't stand to see me on TV
My success has made my haters jealous and resentful.

So they lose their footing like they were gluttons with diabetes
My critics are stumbling and making mistakes like they're in a sugar coma.

But fuck the bullshit, I'm just tryna get rich
I'm all about making money and I won't let anyone stop me.

With my middle fingers up screaming swag me out bitch
I'm embracing my unique style and attitude, despite what other people think.

Black kid on the corner selling drugs, go figure
It's ironic that people stereotype black youth as drug dealers, when often it's the system that forces them into that position.

Salute them with 21 guns, I'm killing these niggas
I'm taking down my competition and celebrating my success.
