Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I’m crazy, ain't no more live in me
Let's go (Uh uh, uh, uh) yeah

(No lie) oxy' already got me flying
It ain't no lifting me (I'm fly)

When I take this Tesla pill
I don’t have more misery (It’s gone)
These diamond buss like river
These bitches Missouri (Bussing)
And eventually
One day they gon' be missing me (RIP)
Ain’t that sad how I knew they
Had no faith in mе (Hell no)
I always be hoping for the bеst
That's how you should picture me
(Picture it)
Don't paint the wrong way
My devil is listening

Even it's make believe in my world
They be teaching kids this shit like history
When I’m high, I love this bitch
Everything be amazing me (Amazing)
Off that shit it's just like pearl
It's just like Maybelline (Maybelline)
Finna bust a nut on her face, yeah

I don't give a fuck if you over there
Especially if you was hating me
How the fuck am I this
Young and they critiquing me? (They critics)
I do whatever I want, I live so peacefully
(So peaceful)
They said that I'm the president
They ain't impeaching me (They not though)
If I had to be political
They should teach with weed
(I'm not no president)
Then they should go and delete some jobs
They should be geeked for weeks
That bitch said are you sure you wanna marry
I bought her a really ring (Really ring)
I hope you know that that's a lie
I would never do silly things
I hope you know this shit
Get intense doing everything expensively
(Expensive)
I can't go out like these broke bums
They even embarrass me (Let's go)
I just hope if I OD
They let me rest in peace (yeah)
I said RIP to them pussies, tell them
Rest in piss (yeah)
She said she wanted a Birkin bag, I told her
Drink my kids only sipping on this lean
I don't sip out no fifth (yeah)
I wanna stick my dick in her peach emoji

I left that bitch on read for weeks
Replied with a beach emoji (I'm crazy)

What would you do if I was wrong? What
Would you do if I was broke? (Crazy)
