Float, float, float, float, float
They ask where I been
Been, been, been, been, been
I done learned to float
Float, float, float, float, float
They ask where I been
Been, been, been, been, been
Float, float, float, float, float
They ask where I been
Been, been, been, been, been
I done learned to float
Float, float, float, float, float
They ask where I been, been, been, been, been
Nigga, I can't lie, I been alias
I'm with the same eyes every area
Been heard the same lies
They ain't scaring us
We brought the same knives
That we had got from the grapevine
I've been carrying shit at the same time
Brodie gon' waste time tryna embarrass us
Nigga, I stay on the mainline (Hey)
She love when my hand on her waistline
But it's various spots I'ma make mine
Turned on your shit, heard the same lines
Where the variance? Turned a K9 to a chariot
How I done faced climbs and
I buried 'em still?
Hit my idols and say, "What's the deal?"
I ain't idle, I'm looking for meals
I done learned to float
Float, float, float, float, float
They ask where I been
Been, been, been, been, been
I done learned to float
Float, float, float, float, float
They ask where I been
Been, been, been, been, been
I done learned to float
Float, float, float, float, float
(Hey) they ask where I been
Been, been, been, been, been
I done learned to float
Float, float, float, float, float
They ask where I been, been, been, been, been
(Been) Hey uh (Been)
All I had, ayy, all I had, ayy
All I had was my shadow to hear me
Grabbed that mic and the battery dead
Never needed nobody to fear me
When I speak, they gon' feel what I said
When I seep, they just looking for red
I keep all of my limbs in the whip
Riding through and I'm not saying shit
Me and, we attached by the hip
Look at him and see me 'cause he hip
You be lying, that shit ain't gon' stick
And complying, that shit make me sick
You ain't in the fire
Don't claim that you lit
They handed you sight and then painted you in
One man choir, I sang in this bitch
I won't hide for a day in this bitch (Ayy)
Still outside when it rain in this bitch
Nigga
(Been, Been)

They gave you a limited perspective and manipulated your perception
One man choir, I sang in this bitch
I am a solo voice, making my presence known
I won't hide for a day in this bitch
I will not retreat or hide from any situation
Still outside when it rain in this bitch
Even in difficult times, I will remain resilient and present
