Got damn, I demand an advance
I know you like the beat, get your hand out ya pants
They praying that I quit, but that ain't in the plans
I killed this shit check the blood on my hands
Got damn, got, got damn
I pop style while they all pop Xans
I run miles while they all run scams
Y'all get by yeah while I got damn got damn
Yeah I'm goin for the head
Don't got time for no got damn bed
Only got time for some got damn bread
But if I eat then we all stay fed stay fed, yeah
I grind twenty-five eight
I mean yeah you say you run it but you runnin' in place
Look, tryna catch a hit instead of catchin' a case
Made a hit like Freddie Freeman, say I play for the braves
Rip the smoke detectors out the ceiling, that's how I'm feeling
Her outfit's too teeny and its revealing
Look how many people streaming the second season
Might have said I liked your shit, ehh I was teasing
Y'all say you run the game but I beat it like I'm cheating
Sipped too much juice, now I started leaning
Sun roof punched through did it for no reason
Life is fleeting, gotta live every moment cheesing
Damn, I demand an advance
I know you like the beat, get your hand out ya pants
They praying that I quit, but that ain't in the plans
I killed this shit check the blood on my hands
Got damn, got, got damn
I pop style while they all pop Xans
I run miles while they all run scams
Y'all get by yeah while I got damn got damn
Rules a human invention
So imma follow suit and go ahead and invent some
If someone tells you what to do, don't give it attention
I guarantee, you'll be making money and them some
Music lasts forever if you're one of the greats
But you'll never make it there if you get killed in the race
All you gets a rap caviar feature for a day
And after that, people start forgetting your name
Yeah look, and shoutout to Russ
If he can make it outta Fulton County, How about us
He got a bust of his head from all these heads goin' bust
Like how you take the high road if there ain't a way up?
But I can't look back, I got a crick in my neck
Look I started lookin up instead of lookin upset
Look I started doublin' down and makin sure I project
Call me Travis with whats happenin', Butterfly Effect
Got damn, I demand an advance
I know you like the beat, get your hand out ya pants
They praying that I quit, but that ain't in the plans
I killed this shit check the blood on my hands
Got damn, got, got damn
I pop style while they all pop Xans




I run miles while they all run scams
Y'all get by yeah while I got damn got damn
