Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nigga hang loss they can get choked with the rope
And I talk to God like I hang with the pope
In a plateau coming out the slope
If life's a trip then this shit a dream
Ah life is bitch you can get hit with a beam
Shit not the same
Doesn't seem what it seems
Shit not the same
Doesn't seem what it seems
Doesn't seem what it seems, yea
If you want the pressure like the dope that I smoke
Nigga hang loss they can get choked with the rope
And I talk to God like I hang with the pope
In a plateau coming out the slope
If life's a trip then this shit a dream
Ah life is bitch you can get hit with a beam
Shit not the same
Doesn't seem what it seems
Doesn't seem what it seems
Shit not the same
Doesn't seem what it seems
Doesn't seem what it seems, yea
Imma go hit them with DDT's
Wait till I bang like I'm DDP
None of y'all really believe in me
We just gonna wait and see
I got the juice and power
Yuh niggas just our here just dwindling
I'm not belittling
Y'all to little y'all shivering
I cannot fall cause ignorance is eminent
Rolling on E pushing 10 like I'm Michelin
Sensing shit loosing my innocence
Heaven sent but a nigga still a deviant
Hell-bent I'm kinda mischievous
Look for wishes gotta find where the genie is
Gave me dumb brain does that make her genius
Rolling with Phineas I know he got herb
I live in the noun, uh nigga that's verb
Going round for round nigga fuck what you heard
Going round for round nigga fuck what you heard
If you want the pressure like the dope that I smoke
Nigga hang loss they can get choked with the rope
And I talk to God like I hang with the pope
In a plateau coming out the slope
If life's a trip then this shit a dream
Ah life is bitch you can get hit with a beam
Shit not the same
Doesn't seem what it seems
Doesn't seem what it seems
Shit not the same
Doesn't seem what it seems
Doesn't seem what it seems, yea
If you want the pressure like the dope that I smoke
Nigga hang loss they can get choked with the rope
And I talk to God like I hang with the pope
In a plateau coming out the slope
If life's a trip then this shit a dream
Ah life is bitch you can get hit with a beam
Shit not the same
Doesn't seem what it seems
Doesn't seem what it seems
Shit not the same
Doesn't seem what it seems
Doesn't seem what it seems, yea
