Lil Tjay
(Niggas gon' hate, I don't care about 'em)
(Niggas gon' hate, I don't care about 'em)
Not at all
No one can stop me, I feel like the greatest
Bro said be humble, I patiently waited
I got a plan for them niggas that hated
Run up some bands for my bros, I'ma make it
They want me gone, I can't walk around naked
Even my brother got caught, and he ate it
No one can stop me, I feel like the greatest
Hop in the foreign, I'm driftin' all stupid
Niggas be broke like the fuck is you doing?
Started off strong but there's room for improvement
I ain't for nothing, Milwaukee, I'm booming
Love ain't for me, now it's static with Cupid
Bitches in love with the way that I sing
They ain't want Tjay before this whole movement
Now they dick ride 'cause I'm doin' my thing
Still posted up on the block with the gang
Spin through your hood, I ain't tuckin' my chain
Bro got a chop with a whole lot of range
Said be consistent, ain't none' gon' change
Now that I'm speaking out honestly
I be flexing, but I'm still in poverty
Move my mom out the hood, do it properly
Give a fuck if you look at me awkwardly
No Monopoly, I'm about property
I don't owe niggas shit but respect
Yeah, one day I was going through stress
Matter fact, I'm just wasting my breath
And now I'ma just talk about all of these bands
How I'm so grateful I'm not in the can
How I'm so grateful for all of my fans
How I'm so grateful I am who I am, huh
Balmain the sweater, huh
Truey on the pants, he did it again
Looking forward to a show in Japan
I think Dexter better lay off the Xans
Throwin' water on my chain 'cause I can
Applyin' pressure, now they shakin' my hands
Niggas ain't gettin' no paper
I know that's the reason they hate, that's my gun on my waist
Test Gwuapo, get shot in your face
And there ain't no room for debate
I know these niggas gon' hate
But my life is still goin' great
Pop out, Givenchy and Bape
We from the trenches, it's easy to hop over fences
The D's tryna build up a case
Stay with a weapon, it's either a Glock or a Wesson
That bitch shoot you right in your face
No one can stop me, I feel like the greatest
Bro said be humble, I patiently waited
All of this love and I ain't even made it
I got a plan for them niggas that hated
Run up some bands for my bros, I'ma make it
They want me gone, I can't walk around naked
Even my brother got caught, and he ate it
No one can stop me, I feel like the greatest
Feel like the greatest, I think I'm the G.O.A.T
Please don't get naked, I just want the throat
Out of my Birkin, I feel like it's workin'
Yeah, bitches be burgers, ain't even a joke
Feel like a star when I hop in the Wraith
It don't matter the place, I ain't tuckin' my chain
Only my brothers, ain't fuckin' with lames
I don't care what you tell me, ain't nothin' gon' change
Ran up some bands, now I'm up like a plane
I was just hungry, ain't nothin' was funny
I do what y'all do, I'ma stay in my lane
Hop in the booth and I'm spittin' that pain
I was a youngin' that couldn't be tamed
Thinkin' shit funny like Tjay a stain
And I'ma get money regardless
Kill a nigga be easy, I'm heartless
I'm so young with a whole lot of charges
In the booth I be workin' my hardest
Boy tried to diss me, I swear that shit garbage
It won't be long 'til I walk down the carpet
Cop me a ladder, I took off the market
Red and green beam, I ain't missing my target
Run if you stupid, run if you stupid
Word to Smelly I won't hesi' to shoot shit
Told my niggas we gon' ball like I'm hoopin'
In the streets, I'm a fighter, Hadoken
Started winnin', I got tired of losin'
Know about it, don't why know they accusin'
Three lines got me deady, I'm snoozin'
Back up 'cause I'm seein' illusions
Bro told me grind, bro told me grind
All this fake love, I don't pay it no mind
Got a story and it's one of a kind
Independent, but I could've got signed
Cooking fire, baking soda combined
Do the math, I turned 8 in '09
17 and your boy in his prime
Free bro, he got off with a dime
Free verse? Is you out of your mind?
Only gang, do whatever for mine
Running, running, tryna get me a bag
Running, running, tryna get to it fast
Niggas talkin' like they bitches, they chat
Spin the block and we spinning it back
I was in the field cookin' the crack
One in the head, I ain't cocking it back
G side stackin' static, they smacked
SB, put my hood on the map, gang gang
No one can stop me, I feel like the greatest
Bro said be humble, I patiently waited
All of this love and I ain't even made it
I got a plan for them niggas that hated
Run up some bands for my bros, I'ma make it
They want me gone, I can't walk around naked
Even my brother got caught, and he ate it
No one can stop me, I feel like the greatest
No one can stop me I feel like the greatest
Got to be humble, I patiently waited
No one can stop me, I feel like the greatest
Yeah
