Timeless time piece
Designer, design me (yeah)
Private jet gon' fly me (shh)
That bitch gon' slide
Racks made my pockets look tiny (racks)
VVS's shining
Elliot tryna blind me (bling)
Can't see the time (yeah)
On my way to the top, I'm climbing
Thought about resigning (yeah)
But the racks remind me (remind me)
The true fans remind me (remind me)
Why don't you encourage me
Instead of burden me?
You're supposed to be lit with me (lit)
But instead you burning me

I changed my life (I changed my life)
'Cause I sacrificed
Nightmares in the day (in the day)
Sleepless nights (in the night)
'Cause I paid the price
So talk to me nice
I need me those (Pradas)
In my size (yeah)
Like I meditate
Got my mind straight (straight)
Dodging all the hate (hate)
Watch me elevate (turn up)
Going state to state (state to state)
Pockets overweight (overweight)
I ain't leave my place (leave my place)
Tell her go close my safe (no)

Timeless time piece

On my time piece (on my time piece)
You think you a snake hoe? (Snake hoe)
You think you slimy (slimy)
I'm with them a-holes (A-Holes)
My killers grimy (grimy)
My first time coming out with this music, ain't get no love (get no love)
Now I really had to make it out on my own, won't hold no grudge (no grudge)
And I had stop sippin' that purple, 'cause I don't want no pudge (no pudge)
They said I'd retaliate off this bullshit, I'm like "So what?"
I just bought four rings, I'm a king (I'm a king)
And I gotta go all out when I do my thing (I do my thing, turn up)
These not SI, they VV'S
Free my guys, I ain't gon lie, I spent 2k on TV (TVs)
Oh, you think you a gangster, and you don't bleed, bleed?
And you're the one that coughed her, know she do weed weed
And I know you ain't mean it
Put the stash in the Demon (skrrt)
Low income apartments (let's get it)
Bankroll was decent (bankroll was decent, yeah)
