| My mother told me never to tell, a dirty old lie
|
| My mother told me never to sell, and just to get by
|
| It’s been a long damn summer
|
| And I’ve been working by the furnace, fire burning
|
| An inferno with a purpose, feeling like I don’t deserve this
|
| Like I’ve been cursed, I don’t need your sympathy
|
| Although I know you know it hurts — it ain’t perfect
|
| Life’s not no nursery rhyme
|
| It’s as much of a blur as it is our whole lifetime
|
| And that’s fine, I’m a ride with it, take my time with it
|
| Never underestimate the power of the blindness
|
| Yes, your highness. |
| Follow your instincts
|
| Fingerprints ain’t always gonna match the logistics
|
| Little bit different, it isn’t yet typical
|
| Won’t always do to others what you wish was reciprocal
|
| My brothers and sisters all the way out there in Liverpool
|
| I feel you a hundred numbers
|
| Don’t ever fall in love, cum in somebody’s number two
|
| You may call it dumb but true
|
| You know that we’re coming for you: mama said
|
| Lord knows I take my secrets to the grave
|
| Til I’m in a crown, I’m on my own two
|
| Coming straight from a chunk of cave money
|
| King Kong crew. |
| Swimmin in the river with a stone shoe
|
| But I be in that bitch still kicking, I’ll teach you kung-fu
|
| Show and prove, the whole team be on the same page
|
| Niggas telling me I’m their idol and we the same age
|
| While back, it wasn’t nothing in my mind but stay in place
|
| Now picking bitches, calling options like I’m sayin plays
|
| Take a picture mayne, I’m on some magazine spread shit
|
| Hold the mic tight, I got that rigamortis you dead quick
|
| Got some good brain on the road, I’d say head trip
|
| Fuck her face and bust on her mouth: call her lead lip
|
| I’m the baker, I make the bread flip
|
| Niggas be wyling but you could talk like it’s crackin
|
| To get your eggs split
|
| Shells drop and it’s an everyday thang
|
| It’s a shame, but it’s all a part of the game…
|
| Young boss, new dreams
|
| Fresh shoes, new jeans
|
| Tell me what do you see?
|
| Why you tryna do me?
|
| So I had to find out, now you can’t find me
|
| Remember three years ago? |
| Like «why you can’t sign me? |
| «Thoughts in my mind, I can do all that times three
|
| I grew up young’un like «nevermind me»
|
| 4 '93, good time to find where my mind be
|
| Now I tell time with gold time (peace)
|
| My mama told me grind… |
