You know she like the swag let's go get it (Let's go get it)

Tryna live my dream instead of living in denial
I'm young and fly gotta get to it in style
My mother said work hard until she get a house (Ayyyyyy)
No more cable on that couch
Only watching netflix when shawty back in town
You know what it is, you know what this bout
Fluid with my craft so my pockets never in a drought boy
Getting cake, i'm in the bank i'm in and out (I'm in and out)
Can't believe i'm the one these lil' bitches use to doubt (Bitch)
She ain't give me play now she want me in her mouth (Hahh)
Cause she see i'm on a wave she want status and some clout boy
But bitch i put the work in and i earned it
Want the type of money keeping white people nervous
Reparations coming and my bloodline deserve it
Cream of the crop, watch me rise to the surface, i'm perfect
You know i'm bout that bag let's go get it (Let's go get it)

Life i got now ain't what i'll settle for
Me and destiny gotta settle score
Look at me, young boy rising from the east
Where they dying in them streets, if you ain't know now you know boy
Our black lives never mattered to police
So i'm grinding for some peace, if you ain't know now you know boy
Ayyyy i made my passion my addiction
They could stay the same way, a nigga like me different (I'm like i'm different)
Only thing i cared about was changing how we living
And this nine to five life ain't shit that i'm content with boy
When Plan A ain't work, i learned to plan better (Plan better)
Then got my ass up off that tan leather (Tan leather)
When it comes to status we gon stand better (Stand better)
Nigga my gifts is the revenge for my ancestors uhhh
You know i'm bout that bag let's go get it (Let's go get it)
You know she like the swag let's go get it (Let's go get it)
You know i keep em mad let's go get it (Let's go get it)
