Know what I'm saying?
Lexicon legend, hahaha
Niggas hate and niggas love
Niggas hate and niggas love
Niggas hate and niggas love
Yeah, packin' my bag, nigga
Tell them niggas who so called pass, I'm on that ass, nigga
Rare bitches in Raf Simons, my pack lit up
Loud in me, I'm flying high as Bilal singing
Boy, back in my groove, youngin'
Hundred-thousand for jewels, but it's cool, I let my clothes cover
And the hoes love it, but I got a good woman
And I never post it cause all them vultures will probably hover
What up? Thuggin', addressin' the mass public
Attitude is fuck it, I'm living what they covet, so run it
Younging, troubled, beginning was humble
Niggas flexin' for that Gram, but they still live with they mothers
They suckers, they lyin', they liars, V's on my tire
It's two things I never mind is their opinion and stylists
I'm ridin', I'm sorry Folarin gotta be so defiant
See you Chiciate, Chico, leave your people to violet
Violent, quiet, I'm young, stackin' my fund
And the back of the backing, I got my back to the sun
Got my eye on this young chick who be actin' and such
Never act up in public and really ratchet and clueless
I'm quite distinguished, and rarely do I mingle
And I really do my thing out here, really I just stay single
Eyes is on the prize, moon is in the sky
I used to sit up at night like I knowin' this isn't right, like God!

Ain't anyone fuckin' with the mufuckin' God Folarin
No one can compete with me, Folarin, who is like a god
Know what I'm saying?
Do you understand what I'm trying to say?
Lexicon legend, hahaha
I'm a legendary wordsmith, haha
Niggas hate and niggas love
People either love or hate me
Fuck with me
Challenge me if you dare
Yeah, packin' my bag, nigga
I'm getting ready to hit the road
Tell them niggas who so called pass, I'm on that ass, nigga
I'm coming after those people who thought they were better than me
Rare bitches in Raf Simons, my pack lit up
I have some beautiful and expensive women with me, and I'm feeling great
Loud in me, I'm flying high as Bilal singing
I'm feeling euphoric, like I'm soaring through the air while Bilal sings
Boy, back in my groove, youngin'
I'm feeling like my old self again, like I'm young and fresh
Hundred-thousand for jewels, but it's cool, I let my clothes cover
I have expensive jewelry, but I don't flaunt it, I let my clothes do the talking
And the hoes love it, but I got a good woman
I could have any woman I want, but I'm loyal to my partner
And I never post it cause all them vultures will probably hover
I don't share my personal life on social media because it attracts unwanted attention
What up? Thuggin', addressin' the mass public
I'm here, representing the streets and speaking to the masses
Attitude is fuck it, I'm living what they covet, so run it
I don't care what others think, I have what they want, so they should just accept it
Younging, troubled, beginning was humble
I'm still young and facing struggles, but I started from humble beginnings
Niggas flexin' for that Gram, but they still live with they mothers
People show off on social media, but they still live with their parents
They suckers, they lyin', they liars, V's on my tire
Those people are fake and dishonest, I'm the real deal and have V-shaped treads on my tires
It's two things I never mind is their opinion and stylists
I don't care about people's opinions or fashion experts
I'm ridin', I'm sorry Folarin gotta be so defiant
I'm riding high, but I apologize for being so rebellious
See you Chiciate, Chico, leave your people to violet
I'll see you later, Chico, and you should focus on your own business
Violent, quiet, I'm young, stackin' my fund
I'm a peaceful person, but I'm still young and making money
And the back of the backing, I got my back to the sun
I have my back to the sun, and I'm ready for whatever comes my way
Got my eye on this young chick who be actin' and such
I'm interested in this young woman who acts in a certain way
Never act up in public and really ratchet and clueless
She never causes a scene in public, but she has a wild and naive side
I'm quite distinguished, and rarely do I mingle
I'm sophisticated and prefer to keep to myself
And I really do my thing out here, really I just stay single
I'm successful on my own and prefer to be single
Eyes is on the prize, moon is in the sky
I'm focused on my goals, and the night sky inspires me
I used to sit up at night like I knowin' this isn't right, like God!
I used to stay up at night feeling like something wasn't right, like I was questioning God
