(Yeah, uh)
Flex up
(Look, whoa)
I was standin' on business before I ever got a check
Never 'bout digits always 'bout respect
But I still keep a chain on my neck
I got change and I never changed on myself I'm realest
I told the team we gon' start thinkin' bigger
They like what you mean we already the biggest
I'm tryna get it but I think they get it
They've been wit' me since the boy was the little one
I'm face to face I don't go through the middle one
Got a problem then you know imma get it done
Touchin' every base I'm hittin' home runs
We can run it right back if you want some
We ain't feelin' them boys like we goin' numb
We was sittin' in class now we goin' dumb
And I'm still standin' tall on my lonesome
(Yeah, uh)
Flex up
(Yeah get them checks up, ugh)
(Who next up), flex up
(It's our time tell them boys to rest up)
Think it's my time to move onto the next
Don't hit my phone I'm ignorin' your text
Pocket watchin' why you so obsessed
They left me with no choice but to flex
Stepped in feelin' like the best (the best)
On the bench you know they gettin' pressed (huh)
Shootin' shots drippin' from the net (what)
In the stu' skippin' out on rest (sigh, yuh)
I'm comin' up next so you know I'm gon' flex
Tryna x out my ex, I got right when she left
Feel like Thugger the way that I run up a check
They talkin' about business but don't have a plan (yeah, buh)
I'm on a level you can't understand (huh)
Stay independent don't work for no man (what, what)
I'm in my element stay where I stand (what, yeah)
Flexed up posted up with the crew
Checks up now it's rainin' on you
Stay stuck they don't know what to do
Make 'em disappear they won't have a clue
Cut 'em off I'm lookin' for somethin' new
Clean it up I'm not messin' 'round wit' you
Pockets stuffed keep them filled up with blues
Talkin' down but you still gon' sing the tune
Wake up I'm tired but I won't give up
Moving too fast I keep leavin' 'em stuck
They can't keep up must've ran out of luck
I'm livin' good now I don't have to duck
Set expectations that you can't keep up
Then ask me for bread I swear I shut 'em up
Your wastin' your time yeah you sit like a duck
And you keep fallin' down but you never get up

Showing off our success and chilling with my group
Checks up now it's rainin' on you
I have a lot of money, and it's making others jealous
Stay stuck they don't know what to do
Others are stuck and don't know how to achieve success
Make 'em disappear they won't have a clue
I'll make my competition vanish without them realizing what happened
Cut 'em off I'm lookin' for somethin' new
I'm disconnecting from those who aren't contributing to my success and seeking new opportunities
Clean it up I'm not messin' 'round wit' you
I'm serious and won't tolerate any messing around
Pockets stuffed keep them filled up with blues
I keep my pockets full of money
Talkin' down but you still gon' sing the tune
Even though you criticize me, you'll still admire and follow my success
Wake up I'm tired but I won't give up
I'm exhausted, but I won't stop pursuing success
Moving too fast I keep leavin' 'em stuck
I'm progressing quickly, leaving others behind
They can't keep up must've ran out of luck
They can't match my pace, and they're unlucky as a result
I'm livin' good now I don't have to duck
I'm living comfortably and don't have to hide or be cautious anymore
Set expectations that you can't keep up
I intentionally set high expectations that others can't meet
Then ask me for bread I swear I shut 'em up
After setting expectations, they ask me for money and I silence them
Your wastin' your time yeah you sit like a duck
You're wasting your time being passive and unproductive
And you keep fallin' down but you never get up
You continuously fail but never learn from your mistakes
