(Finish)
(PinkGrillz)

Paper planes (paper planes), Novocaine (Novocaine)
Mary Jane (yeah)
Say one thing to me, you Texas toast, no Raising Cane's
I can't lie, life's good, man, I can't complain (yeah)
Walkin' through the hood undoubtedly without a stain
Hopped off the porch, I'm a prodigy, they know the name
Had to run it up like my prophecy, financial gain (PinkGrillz)
If you ain't with me, you against me, then get out the way (whoa)

We be spinnin' on you and your people, dancin' on your grave
Keep them choppers like Resident Evil, we dress like BloodRayne
Rocked out, American Eagle, hoodie got blood stains
Now my brother whippin' up them kilos, I told him, "Fuck the game"
Twin Glocks, Max Payne, kickin' shit, Johnny Cage
Ice us out at Johnny Dang, beat shit, Liu Kang
Flamin' shit, Liu Kang, brand new day (PinkGrillz)
Brand new K, ballin' like 2K

I swear I been betrayed ('trayed)
One too many times (times)
Too many to count (count), yeah
All them nights I prayed
Solid how I stayed (stayed)
No matter how they played it, I still don't mind (whoa, yeah)
There's too many to count (ayy, ayy, PinkGrillz)
Times I been betrayed, fuck is that about?
Paper plane, Laker game, Novocaine (Novocaine)
Head shot, Drizzy, man, you know the aim (grrrt)
Niggas prayin' that I spare 'em like a bowling lane (woo, woo)
Yeah, like Mike (like Mike)
Corleone (Corleone), sporty flow (sporty flow)
I done done it all, it's like I'm Shawty Lo (Shawty)
All these fools I'm beefin' that I barely know
Forty-five, forty-four (burned out), let it go
'Ye ain't changin' shit for me, it's set in stone
Rollin' stones, heavy stones (PinkGrillz)
Precious stone, let me make my presence known

Paper planes (paper planes), Novocaine (Novocaine)
Mary Jane (yeah)
Say one thing to me, you Texas toast, no Raising Cane's
I can't lie, life's good, man, I can't complain (yeah)
Walkin' through the hood undoubtedly without a stain
Hopped off the porch, I'm a prodigy, they know the name




Had to run it up like my prophecy, financial gain (PinkGrillz)
If you ain't with me, you against me, then get out the way (yeah, whoa)

He claims he has "done it all" and has no reason to change for anyone. The chorus then returns to emphasize the many times the singer has been betrayed.

That transition from Trippie's to Drake's voice is under rated. Shout out the engineer.

@TheGuitarislove

As an engineer… shout out to drake for the performance. It’s mixed perfect, but that wouldn’t matter if drake didn’t come in like that.
