Forest Green
Mike G Lyrics

Follow the leader, bad senoritas in two seaters
I am the leader and I am followed by beautiful women riding in expensive cars.

She loves green, that's money, Mary Jane and Margaritas
The girl I am with loves money, marijuana, and drinks.

The way it seems, the streets be looking at me like a teacher
People look up to me, as if I'm a teacher guiding them through life.

They hounding me, like desperate rappers waiting for a feature
People are always asking me for favors, just like rappers always asking for features on songs.

I ain't saying I don't need you, I'm saying let's keep the pace
I don't want to rush into anything, but I still want you around in my life.

Should be back at your place, just being patient with your feet up
We should hang out at your place and just relax.

They say he's so chill, how does he show no stress?
People wonder how I can stay so calm and laid-back.

He can't see into the future, how does he know what's next?
People are amazed by my ability to make informed decisions without knowing the future.

Seeing all of these steps that he's taking
People are taking notice of the efforts I am making to succeed.

You're mistaken if they say we ain't so complex
People who say we are simple are wrong, we are actually very complex individuals.

I'm tryna be in a blue coupe, you can't pronounce the name
I want to ride in a fancy car that you probably can't even pronounce the name of.

With a bad yellow bitch and she's singing Purple Rain, so insane
I want to ride with a beautiful and talented woman who will make me feel amazing.

And people talking down on me, I don't really think they should
People should not criticize or talk negatively about me because they don't understand what I'm going through.

They said they could do it better, I don't really think they could
People claim they can do better than me, but I doubt they actually can.

I ain't one for niggas wishes, but I wish a nigga would
I don't normally care about what people wish, but in this case, I want someone to test me.

This ain't as easy as it looks, I just make it look good
What I'm doing is not easy, but I'm able to make it look good and effortless.

If it's politics, we're the presidents so presence serves a purpose
If this is about power and influence, then we are the ones in charge and our presence matters.

It's obvious that we're evidence, you're paying for a service
We are proof of what we can offer, and people are willing to pay for our services.

And I feel, you always think you're less than what you can be
You have the potential to do more, but you don't believe in yourself enough.

What does it mean if I think I'm the one these niggas can't see?
What if I am the one who is overlooked and underestimated by others?

Gang mentality, Odd Future is a family
We function like a gang, but we are actually more like a family.

My niggas thrash, I was always Anti, Plan-B
My friends are wild and reckless, while I am more reserved and have a backup plan.

Did I lose you? I know I'm much more than you're used to
Did I confuse you? I am aware that I am not what you are used to or expect from me.

Now I got these girls stepping out from their usual
I have the ability to attract and impress women who are not typically interested in my type.

So they tune in, T.I., see I, realize I'm a stand up guy
Women take notice of me and realize that I am a good and respectable person.

And these niggas realize they can't stand to see me on TV
Other men are jealous of my success and hate to see me on TV.

So they lose their footing like they were gluttons with diabetes
Other men become disoriented and lose their balance, like people with diabetes who eat too much sugar.

But fuck the bullshit, I'm just tryna get rich
I don't have time for drama, I just want to become wealthy.

With my middle fingers up screaming swag me out bitch
I am proud of my style and persona, and I express that by flipping people off and exclaiming my swag.

Black kid on the corner selling drugs, go figure
People make assumptions about me because I am a black youth standing on the corner, but they don't know the full story.

Salute them with 21 guns, I'm killing these niggas
I am succeeding and proving people wrong, so I am metaphorically saluting my haters and killing their negative opinions.

Uh, bitch
Just an expression of attitude and confidence.

Oh, and Free Earl motherfucka'
A shout-out to the incarcerated member of Odd Future, Earl Sweatshirt, and a call for his release.
