I can hear 'em snoring
I can hear them sleeping soundly
I went and fucked my money up, I was horny
I impulsively wasted my wealth, driven by desire
Y'all music on some Thanksgiving dinner

Shit was corny
It was utterly unoriginal and dull
Racks on me, yeah, what? (Money, yeah)
I possess significant wealth and financial resources
I was lovin' that, I was lovin'

These bitches a sled
These women are easily manipulated and used
I really love to take all these drugs
I genuinely enjoy consuming various substances
I'm sipping red right now
I am currently drinking red-colored liquid
Bitch told me I'ma die, told
A woman warned me about the dangers of my lifestyle
Her, " I don't care, " but I'm good though
I responded to her by expressing my indifference, but assuring her of my well-being
Y'all not, y'all on that dog food
You all are delusional, consumed by harmful substances
That good dope
Referring to high-quality illicit substances
I remember when I didn't care
I recall a time when I was emotionally unaffected
In case it's something up
Just in case something unexpected happens
I keep it extended all they shit is trash
I constantly maintain an extended magazine, as everything they produce is of poor quality
The car they got is rented
The vehicle they possess is not truly theirs, they have only rented it

They just do what the fuck is trendy
They simply follow whatever is popular and trendy, without originality
Yeah (Let's go), and I guess right now, that's me
Yes, at this moment, that role is fulfilled by me
For a year straight
Continuously, without interruption, for an entire year
Every week I heard a new kid soundin' like me
Every week, a new young artist emerged, imitating my style
Yeah, that shit was bad
Yes, that situation was unfavorable and disappointing
You know I wasn't lying
You are aware that I was not being dishonest
Takin' a Perc' before brushing my teeth
Taking a Percocet painkiller before performing basic hygiene
This is the first time I slept this week
This is the initial occasion in which I have rested during this week
I'm feeling blessed like I just sneezed
I am experiencing a sense of gratitude, as if I sneezed and received a blessing
Vibed out ah, we been riding around
Relaxed and immersed in the experience, we have been cruising in a vehicle
Don't test me, I always hold my ground
Do not challenge me, as I consistently stand my ground
They say "Yeat
They call me 'Yeat'
Why the fuck is you growling?"
Why are you expressing your anger and frustration in such a manner?
'Cause I'm high
Because I am intoxicated
And that mean that I'm falling down from it
This results in me descending and losing control due to the intoxication
I'll leave you traumatized (yeah)
My actions will leave you emotionally damaged and distressed
And I'm still in this thang (yeah)
I am still actively involved in this lifestyle
I changed my style so much (yeah) yeah
I have altered my artistic approach extensively
(Turn that shit up, 2)
Increase the volume and intensity even more
So so up, up, up, so so up, yeah
Elevating higher and higher, reaching new levels
I think I'm in love, yeah, ah, ah yeah
I believe I have fallen in love
I'm 'bout to, I'm 'bout to eat
I am about to indulge in success and abundance
