White-Noise Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm Betting on myself
Gotta play the cards I was dealt (I was dealt)
Yeah
I'm coming for the belt
Thanks but I don't need your help (Need your help)
Yeah
I'm Betting on myself
Gotta play the cards I was dealt (I was dealt)
Yeah
I'm coming for the belt
Thanks but I don't need your help (Need your help)

I do my true self
Y'all actin ta me
Your raps cap
You ain't baggin that b
My girl barely fit her ass in her jeans
It's from her mama so that ass in them genes
I feel blessed
Just to look at the mess
I feel stressed
But there breathe in my chest
I see beauty when my life feel in shambles
Bet on the house is the only way to gamble

I'm Betting on myself
Gotta play the cards I was dealt (I was dealt)
Yeah
I'm coming for the belt
Thanks but I don't need your help (Need your help)
Yeah
I'm Betting on myself
Gotta play the cards I was dealt (I was dealt)
Yeah
I'm coming for the belt
Thanks but I don't need your help (Need your help)

My shit been heavy
I came in on my hippo stroll
Same conviction with my foot down
When they tippy toed
When I get foul
It aint no ticky tac
No mentions till you gain momentum
Then they wanna piggy back (That's real, that's facts)
Ain't rocking Vape
But I got ape on 808's
Though I be bathing with them maaco's
I don't dribble I break ankles
Solo cup under the keg or smoking like a dragon
Never been a beggar my determination on that Schwarzenegger
Place your wager
I

I'm Betting on myself
Gotta play the cards I was dealt (I was dealt)
Yeah
I'm coming for the belt
Thanks but I don't need your help (Need your help)
Yeah
I'm Betting on myself
Gotta play the cards I was dealt (I was dealt)
Yeah
I'm coming for the belt
Thanks but I don't need your help (Need your help)

Peace up
Imma hold the peace down
Score a triple double every time without the rebounds
Tell me how the tea sound
Or maybe how it taste too
I swear it's extra sweeter everytime they say they hate you
The people with the most to say
Weren't around the most
I was tryna turn this to a living
You were ghost
I tell you what it's not
Like I'm tryna wipe my nose
If
You ain't in my class
I ain't studying your notes

I'm Betting on myself
Gotta play the cards I was dealt (I was dealt)
Yeah
I'm coming for the belt
Thanks but I don't need your help (Need your help)
Yeah
I'm Betting on myself
Gotta play the cards I was dealt (I was dealt)
Yeah




I'm coming for the belt
Thanks but I don't need your help (Need your help)
