Uh
Niggas sick right now
I ain't even boutta give you no bullshit
You boutta get straight bars in this bitch
I ain't tryna what tell you what think about
What a nigga seen around
I ain't tryna keep it down low
All I really know is that I'm leaving now
Nah I ain't been seen in town I don't really be around home
I just love getting a chance to visit the fam
Then I gotta get it on my own
Can't live in the past back when I get what I ask
I gotta get a lil cash so I can rap till a nigga eyes close
Really that mean when my time gone
Feel like I'm boutta crash like Geico
Going insane just like a psycho
But a nigga using the rage as my motivation
Hold the page
Shit hit me like the water cold to face
I'm woke I wake
Everyday with a whole new case to make
Never fold or break
Until I got the cash to fold and break
But see I'm booking ahead my head in the books
Yea been taking my L's ahead of the rooks
So when I get in the game I'm getting them looks
And yea they all gon fall shit getting them shook
Man I been feeling the pain
Yea they really the same
But I been hearing em say that imma bad muhfucka
When the enemies came
See nothing really ain't change
Cause at the end of the day I'm still a bad muhfucka
Uh huh
Nigga don't cap
See what I'm doing and give it up that's facts yea yea
Really don't max
If you ain't got it then imma do it man relax yea yea
Niggas gon slack
I don't mind putting the team all on my back yea yea
Really that's that
Watch a nigga carry the squad and backpack yea yea
Never let niggas get in the way
Innovate innovate innovate
Still got a lil bit Kendrick way
Levitate levitate levitate
Better days getaways everything
In a plane interstate in a range
My tape still tryna drop it
But a nigga really got graduate uh
I been waiting for that graduation
How many pills I hadda take none
How many bills I hadda pay tons
How many feelings I hadda break some
All while I still maintain relations
I ain't tryn brag
I ain't even talkin bout a motherfucking bag
I'm just boutta demand respect that I never had
Bet I get it when I pull up windows tinted but they seeing how I'm living
Records steady dropping but a nigga still winning
Ops moving up under the table bill Clinton
But I'm giving a vision so when I get up they ain't tripping
I ain't saying nothing
I be doing shit
Say Jay is something
I be proving it
Ain't taking nothing
From the school and shit
But that pay is coming

Nigga don't cap
See what I'm doing and give it up that's facts yea yea
Really don't max
If you ain't got it then imma do it man relax yea yea
Niggas gon slack

Watch a nigga carry the team and backpack yea yea
