GED Army
Young Money navy
Fuck you, Pay me!!
It's simple, ha ha
What happens when ya enemies, once friends and everything ends
My glory begins
Two miles from his house
A spot that they slung out
Lil kids play out
Shit foul in my town
They talk but want shout cause snitches neva be found
Just look straight
No squares around just quilts and cake
Half way growing age
Started seeing different ways
Illegally paid
Getting lawyers legally paid
Im saying
Polaroid boy just want the fame
Never my image to betray but never soft like sulfate nicca
Nicca
Chorus:
I started from the very end
Look around look where I begin
Woman sittin sippin with him
But what happens when the glory ends
What happens when the glory ends
What happens what happens then
What happens when the glory ends
And enemies once friend kiss my glory ends
Verse 2:
Look at'em tyga slim skinny no pig
I don't fuck with them
Denver dens bitch no ticket shit
Here's a tab write it off my taxes
Get paid more than you faggots
My sun shine like I waxed it
Get backwards move forward get blasted
I'm Dave Matthews
Great figure this nigga asked it
Actually my swag mastered
Show the masters my taxes
Performing off like Julio bastards
Young graduate no degree with a bachelor
Pack full off cash
Look at the way I sag
Look at the balance on that natty hat
Match the Gucci bag
Wearing shit the store never had
Even dads is cool mothers love my ass
Them ghetto jags is threw im in the newest class
Limited edition no tints bitch see who in it
Now back the fuck up like strippers
Nicca
Chorus!
Verse 3:
I hate his only motive
Scope my every slogan
Blog my every word
Rephrase shit I've spoken
The whole nine the truth is really unfolding
Couple Folgers if ya sleeping we gone wake ya owner
Hold ya like groceries no Kenneth Copeland
But im on some poor shit
Drug flow im close to dopest
Really singing this sick shit no nursery but row ya boat bitch
White phantom call it big toll whip
In motion an eagle colder than zero below
Don't pour motive hoes know what I D.O
Already put on a show from the day he was born
Through the form deform
Ima monster yall
Jewelry look armor raw
The money monopoly born
The shit is fraud
And I don't play games you see what happen in that movie saw
But this is real life shootin no director

1Cor 1:19-21: "For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe."
