Hey, Hey
Okay do what you wanna
Go where you wanna
If i kick game then you know its a hunnid'
My dreams came true cause i knew what i wanted
For 24 years there was room in my stomach
Thats hunger
Turned me from a man to a monster
I was making jams as a youngster
Wasnt even fans at the concerts
Not a damn band in my pocket
Still I plan to conquer
When you see a nigga like that gotta watch 'em
9 times out of 10 bet a nigga plottin'
At the door knockin'
Niggas wanna wait till you poppin'
Just to say you great nigga stop it
I been on top nigga
Hey

Saw it all coming imma visionary
Niggas think its sweet so I pistol carry
Taking shit deep might get you buried
Homies moving birds they don't fuck with Larry's
Coming where I'm from it get fuckin' scary
On my vegan shit I don't fuck with dairy
Married to the game like Chuck and Larry
Lil' stoner bitch love puffin' berry
But she always mad cause she don't wanna share me
I stay to myself cause love is scary
Stacking my wealth nigga more the merry
So many European trips I get bored in Paris
If he take my soul now ask the lord to spare me
Spare me
Ask the lord to spare me (yeah)
I know its sort of scary

But I been on top nigga
Hey

Screaming fuck a 9-5 Its a trap nigga
Fuck a slow dollar i would rather stack nigga
They addicted to the flows like its crack in it
Stay in ya lane less you wanna be an accident
These lil' rappers need to go and get some practice in
Every songs like a bull off of laxative

If you have a dream then its do or die
If you dont try thats like suicide
