Cicero on the beat
Diamonds make 'em sneeze, so I bless 'em (bless)
Once I get them thangs then I stretch 'em (stretch)
They forgot that we the ones apply the pressure (press)
I can see them when they foldin' under pressure (press)
Eyes wide, geeked up in that Tesla (eyes wide)
That's a wise guy, and you better not test him (wise guy)
Watch them birds fly, bird keeper catch 'em
It's the last pie, so I had to stretch it (stretch)
I'm on Fox 5, try to take my necklace (neck)
On Instagram Live, updates every second (sec')
Five Guys in the kitchen, heavy on the veggies (heavy)
Niggas ain't got money, all cap if I tell it (tell)
Niggas gon' get Take the whole pack if I sell it (take)
We ride like the service secret, niggas' mob tellin' (mob)
The reason if the breakfast seasoned but it not digestin' (oh)
Once I get them thangs on the stretcher I'ma stretch it (stretch it)
Bet they know the game, do they know I'm not a question? (question)
Eyes blood rushin', and your bitch is smilin', blushin' (blushin')
I'm worth too much money, ain't no talkin', get to dumpin'
Hunnid round drum on me (drum), Andre Drummond (drum)
They don't want smoke with me (smoke), they know how I'm comin' (come)
I'm geekin' and trippin', I tried to fit Tommy in front of my timing (Tommy gun)
I shed a tear every time I smoke, 'cause I roll like the onion (onion)
Diamonds make 'em sneeze, so I bless 'em (bless)
Once I get them thangs then I stretch 'em (stretch)
They forgot that we the ones apply the pressure (press)
I can see them when they foldin' under pressure (press)
Eyes wide, geeked up in that Tesla (eyes wide)
North Side, we apply that pressure (North Side)
That's a wise guy, and you better not test him (wise guy)
Watch them birds fly, bird keeper catch 'em
The dark side, my nights they get reckless (side)
They send spies, just so they can catch us, yeah
Don't use lines, must avoid the set up (set up)
It don't shine, gotta check the set up (yeah)
Believe me (believe me), nightmares keep me up it ain't no sleepin' (ain't no sleepin')
Flashes outside, know somebody's peepin' (peepin')
Look down in my cup I keep on drinkin' (drank)
Why you take so much? I have my reasons (yeah)
Done with the silence when she sees us
A hunnid on the smile, she keep on askin' why I'm teethin'
Runnin' up the vibe, we brought the ratchets, make it even
Tiptoe through the front door, out the back door, left it geekin'
Diamonds make 'em sneeze, so I bless 'em (bless)
Once I get them thangs then I stretch 'em (stretch)
They forgot that we the ones apply the pressure (press)
I can see them when they foldin' under pressure (press)
Eyes wide, geeked up in that Tesla (eyes wide)
North Side, we apply that pressure (North Side)
That's a wise guy, and you better not test him (wise guy)
Watch them birds fly, bird keeper catch 'em
In the song "Bless Em," by Quality Control, Takeoff, and Travis Scott, the lyrics center on blessings and applying pressure to their enemies. The opening lyrics state that diamonds make people sneeze, and the artists bless them with their presence. Once they obtain their goals, they stretch them and apply pressure to their enemies. They warn their enemies that they can see them folding under the pressures applied. They also lyricize their lifestyle, being "geeked up" in a Tesla and applying pressure from the "North Side." The song's overall message is that once they obtain success, they will continue to apply pressure and blessings to those around them.
The chorus repeats that "diamonds make them sneeze" and that once they get what they want, they stretch it out. They remind their enemies that they are the ones who apply pressure. The second verse talks about the "dark side" of their life and how people try to catch them using spies. They explain that they do not use lines and must stay aware of the setups that their enemies might plan. The verse is centered on distrust and the need to stay vigilant to survive. The song ends with repeating the chorus.
