i always knew...

LYRICS : 

Always knew I had to put in work
Always knew that this was gonna work
Always knew that I'd bring home the bands
Always knew that I'd become the man
I always knew that second guessing was the opposite of truth
I bet my future on my faith
And let myself do what I do
Now my gambles looking like
They weren't gambles after all
I always knew I always knew
Yea I always knew

Shows overseas and they sold out
Made your girl bring the hoe out
Lotta people tryna get in contact
Lotta people tryna get a contract
Cuz they want my name on a X
I ain't gonna lie yea I think about my ex
I ain't gonna lie yea I think about the checks
I ain't gonna lie yea I think I got next
Always been the one my fam turned to
Skeptics Imma convert you
Give your girl something she can twerk to
I always knew what rap star perks do
Always knew they'd all start callin
Always knew I'd have a lotta options
Always knew the money was a sure thing
Always knew I'd make the whole world sing

Always knew I had to put in work
Always knew that this was gonna work
Always knew that I'd bring home the bands
Always knew that I'd become the man
I always knew that second guessing was the opposite of truth
I bet my future on my faith
And let myself do what I do
Now my gambles looking like
They weren't gambles after all
I always knew I always knew
Yea I always knew

Always knew I couldn't trust nobody
Always knew I had to trust myself
Always knew they'd try and call me cocky
Always knew they didn't love themselves

Back in Atlanta and I'm workin
Always knew it'd paid off to be observant
Always knew I'd end up in a car with curtains
Always knew I'd elevate to a new version
Of my self
2.0
These shots so strong feel the recoil
Who's loyal?
I don't need two hands
Same ones I came in with
Oo yea

Always knew I had to put in work
Always knew that this was gonna work
Always knew that I'd bring home the bands
Always knew that I'd become the man
I always knew that second guessing was the opposite of truth
I bet my future on my faith
And let myself do what I do
Now my gambles looking like
They weren't gambles after all
I always knew I always knew
Yea I always knew

Always Knew (Prod. Russ)

i can tell...

LYRICS : 

I can tell you wanna come say somethin
You should go ahead and stop pretending
I wake up feelin richer than my last day
And go to sleep still tryna get it
I can tell you wanna come say somethin
You should go ahead and stop pretending
I wake up feelin richer than my last day
And go to sleep still tryna get it

I roll the dice with my life
I got a gambling problem
I got this movie I'm shooting
I need the cameras on me
In Atlanta I'm probably 
In the studio workin 
Or gettin blessed by Latinas
You know the usual service
I move with a purpose 
You know what it is
Boss shit
You see my name on the marquee
It's all biz
And you know what to do when the don walks in
I said you know what to do when the don walks in

I can tell you wanna come say somethin
You should go ahead and stop pretending
I wake up feelin richer than my last day
And go to sleep still tryna get it
I can tell you wanna come say somethin
You should go ahead and stop pretending
I wake up feelin richer than my last day
And go to sleep still tryna get it

Tryna figure out what the fuck I spent 10 g's on
But fuck it
Back to sippin till the hennys gone 
My bucket
Hoes love it
I got 10's in my Nissan
Imagine when I got the president rollie on
Gotta Puerto Rican
Tryna get her freak on
But Imma world traveler so I might be overseas 
On some spreading out my wings shit
30,000 feet sippin gin with my kings talkin king shit

I can tell you wanna come say somethin
You should go ahead and stop pretending
I wake up feelin richer than my last day
And go to sleep still tryna get it
I can tell you wanna come say somethin
You should go ahead and stop pretending
I wake up feelin richer than my last day
And go to sleep still tryna get it

I know you see me from a distance
You didn't believe now you do
Makes me think it's a 
Money thing, money thing, money thing, money thing

I can tell you wanna come say somethin
You should go ahead and stop pretending
I wake up feelin richer than my last day
And go to sleep still tryna get it
I can tell you wanna come say somethin
You should go ahead and stop pretending
I wake up feelin richer than my last day
And go to sleep still tryna get it

I Can Tell (Prod. Russ)

you aint heard of shit like that?!

LYRICS : 

You aint heard of shit like that?!
Workin all night you know shit like that 
Cuttin people off you know shit like that
Not enough money but I spend it anyway tryna make it
You aint heard of shit like that?!
Workin all night you know shit like that 
Cuttin people off you know shit like that
Not enough money but I spend it anyway tryna make it

I maneuver 
I can smell the gouda
Me and Bugus got plans to sell out Abuja
Girls catchin feelings
I ain't even throw shit
I just pay attention to the signs like a protest
If not me then who
If not now then when
Smoking by the pound
Getting paid by the yen
Baby girl I'm global
In and out of zip codes
Make a lotta noise when I move
I don't tip toe
Dreams too big
I don't like small talk
We thank god oh
Yea ahka
Give your girl vodka
Now she acting single
Yea shit like that
She know the lingo
Lookin at life thru the windshield
Not thru the rear view
I've been turning up my life
I don't hear you
Steer thru the doubt
How I'm feeling lately
I'll never feed a mouth talkin crazy

You aint heard of shit like that?!
Workin all night you know shit like that 
Cuttin people off you know shit like that
Not enough money but I spend it anyway tryna make it
You aint heard of shit like that?!
Workin all night you know shit like that 
Cuttin people off you know shit like that
Not enough money but I spend it anyway tryna make it

hit the runway like its fashion week 
put in work like a slave
made a masterpiece
still dark as night 
came alive in PM
African but i drive european
people gotta squint
my future is blindin
im like Watch! its all about timing
flight so long that I picked up a hobby
my Volvo feel like a Bugatti
accounts in the red like the 96 bulls
needed just push
now I got pull
now I might take a white girl out to Lagos
sit and talk about race like its Talladega
even though it dragged my formula 1
lf i take an L ill b smokin a blunt
from the sound we won like singles
outta town run wild like gringos

You aint heard of shit like that?!
Workin all night you know shit like that 
Cuttin people off you know shit like that
Not enough money but I spend it anyway tryna make it
You aint heard of shit like that?!
Workin all night you know shit like that 
Cuttin people off you know shit like that
Not enough money but I spend it anyway tryna make it

Titanic (Prod. Russ)

im coming...

LYRICS : 

I pay my dues and get paid for it too
The outcome of my input
Is my favorite view
I do the work of two and half men
Like Charlie Sheen
This is what you get
When you don't care about the party scene
So pardon me
If I don't really look amused
I'm just shootin for the masses
Like I'm tryna make the news
All this winning by myself
Got these labels all confused
I should do a deal with a Nike
Cuz these checks are comin soon
Oo
Am I the only one lifted
The money ain't as fun
When you're the only one with it
I needa smaller table and a bigger fence
I see these leeches campin out
It's like they live in tents
I'm too advanced for your advances
Man I'm feelin godly
Russ is the wave
Nah Russ the tsunami
Te quieres casara conmigo
Yea they want me
This is for my Spanish girls in Brooklyn screaming papi
Everybody's in the same game
Different levels with it
Same hell
Different devils with it
Lemme tell you how my life feel
This past year has felt like a high light reel
I chew my beats
And I spit out anthems
If you wanna stand out gotta be outstanding
I know what I gotta do
To make my mom stop crying
Trying times doesn't mean it's time to stop trying
I'm flying with wings
That grew from leaps of faith
Feelin star struck every time I see my face
Oh that's crazy talk ain't it
I'm just gassed off my drive tho
Whole album fire
I might call the shit pyro
I could go to Saudi
Make 20 racks a night
By the time this comes out
It's probably 5 times the price
5 mics use to mean something
Nowadays I don't give a fuck
About your magazine it means nothing
I change the world by example
Not by my words
I move around with a handful of people
That know they worth
Ain't no playin us
We were born to make a dent
We understand that there's way more to life
Than just paying rent
But speaking of rent
I think we bout to lose the house
Think they repoing the cars
Think we gotta sell the couch
Think they cuttin off the lights
Think they turnin off the water
And I'm still turnin down every single label offer
Top prospect
Projected high draft pick
I'm in my own league tho
Own my own team tho
Making hooks like lay ups
And verses like free throws
I beat the game and I ain't even use a cheat code
You hatin from the stands
I'm ballin out
Peep the seats tho
Too young for this wisdom
Make them wanna check ID tho
I been psychic
Motherfuckers doubted
I suggest you listen when I talk
And shut yo mouth it's
Very evident I know some shit you don't
What you gonna do if they don't send a boat
Better learn to swim lil guppy

Tsunami (Prod. Russ)

i bet you wont...

LYRICS : 

I dare you to come and try it
But nobodys shaking round here
Yes I got it so you want it 
But I aint see you here last year
Bet you wont try it 
No no
I bet you wont try it

Your favorite rapper cant fuck with with me 
Girls fall in love with me
Childhood dreams yea I'm fightin for my custody
Theres one of me theres a lotta you
Listenin to the radio and its probably you
But who are you I dont even think you know
They dont believe that I plan it like Pluto
Im interrupting the conversation
Enough with the observations
Im fuckin up the structure
Standin up for the population
Its real shit comin thru your playlist
Family needs food
Bills need payments
But i see money in the bank with my name on it
Rearranging rules yea im changing up the game on ya
I gotta chip that weighs the size of a brick 
I might flip and do some shit thats gonna help me get rich quick
This aint a thing you should try 
I protect this with my life 
Cuz my life is what i gave
For my life I would die

I dare you to come and try it
But nobodys shaking round here
Yes I got it so you want it 
But I aint see you here last year
Bet you wont try it 
No no
I bet you wont try it

All this time in between got me anxious 
Family lookin at me like save us
I gotta get to where im going now oh oh
Steppin up to the plate when they need me
This is what i practiced for
This is what im asking for for for for
I made my name get bigger
Stayed with my faith like liquor up in my vains
My trigger fingers my brain
I figured i should do me
Lookin back I was blinded by what i really couldnt see
23 im so happy i didnt blow at 17
They be stupid
I dont play against you 
I play against the idea of me losing
See the blueprint i sketched out
I was right all along to let your opinions get left out

I dare you to come and try it
But nobodys shaking round here
Yes I got it so you want it 
But I aint see you here last year
Bet you wont try it 
No no
I bet you wont try it


Try It (Prod. Russ)

to be honest....

LYRICS : 

I could go deeper on the beat to be honest
I could turn your girl into a freak to be honest
Lately I aint really gettin sleep to be honest
Life been changing every week to be honest

To be honest I'm tired of my family needin money
To be honest my visions always been twenty twenty
To be honest I'm questioning where your heart lies
To be honest America means apartheid
To be honest I fuck way too many chicks raw
To be honest Saudi King might cut my dick off
To be honest white people are some terrorists
To be honest I feel a way about sharing this
To be honest my patience is runnin thin so
To be honest imma keep dropping these singles
To be honest my debut is on my iPod
To be honest fuck all that I need the lights on
To be honest my house has been feelin homeless
To be honest I kicked it at Lyor Cohen's
To be honest everybody tryna poach me
To be honest know wassup when you approach me

I could go deeper on the beat to be honest
I could turn your girl into a freak to be honest
Lately I aint really gettin sleep to be honest
Life been changing every week to be honest

To be honest my fourth grade teacher was shady
To be honest I flushed the pills my therapist gave me
To be honest my teacher sucked my school was a mess
To be honest I gave no fuck I cheated on tests
To be honest with racism I know it still exists 
To be honest they hate niggas I see it in they grin
To be honest I love my girl she satisfies me
To be honest some other pussy looks appetizing
To be honest be for god I dont believe in religion
To be honest Uncle Sam is watching you like a pigeon
To be honest I shoulda called my cousin Chuka
He havin babies tbh I shoulda called him sooner
To be honest I just focus on the fundamentals
To be honest I just hope to reach my full potential
To be honest some things too mean to verbalize
Dick riders always get they dreams circumsized 

I could go deeper on the beat to be honest
I could turn your girl into a freak to be honest
Lately I aint really gettin sleep to be honest
Life been changing every week to be honest

To be honest I think I should put my phone down
To be honest I think I should put these hoes down
To be honest I'm high and I'm drunk and that's ok
To be honest I don't feel like payin sallie mae
To be honest I think all my idols lost it
To be honest they gon notice when I walk in
To be honest it's funny you think I need you
To be honest I'm with Saudis up in Bijou
To be honest I'm kinda poppin across the ocean
To be honest fuck your label and it's cross promotion
To be honest fuck every single industry plant
To be honest look all you got is industry fans
To be honest Im taking shots and it's way too early
To be honest it's actually late my days are blurry
To be honest just know that I see everything
To be honest how'd you come to terms with settling

I could go deeper on the beat to be honest
I could turn your girl into a freak to be honest
Lately I aint really gettin sleep to be honest
Life been changing every week to be honest

To Be Honest (Feat. Bugus) (Prod. Russ)

Waste My Time (Prod. Russ)

people aint believe i always did thats nothing new to me.....

LYRICS :

I put myself on so that's who I get the paper with
Ive been on my owner coach fan and player shit
Draped in my own clothes
Fam needs money so I try to split up bands
Like I'm tryna go solo
Gotta keep a low profile when I'm home
It's cool to make the hoes go wild but I know
That's how you get jammed up
So please put your right hand up
And swear to me that even when you're blitzed you'll keep the cam tucked
On your Carolina shit
She poppin pussy like its vicatin
And I just wanna try the shit
This is that build a fanbase without a shortcut
Turn my Nissan into a tour bus
This is by me for us
Put my family on my back
Rock that shit like its jersey
Doing circles round the game
Until I'm dizzy and I'm blurry
Highschool classmates thought this path was a tragedy
In one night I make their two month salary

Ok this money that I'm makin yea thats new to me
All these women getting naked yea thats new to me
I'm the topic of conversation thats new to me
People aint believe I always did thats nothing new to me

Listening to Wayne to cure my writers block
I been taking flights a lot
Top notch accountant he gon make sure that we write it off
All I ever wanted was a platform
Get Gianna and my mom anything that they ask for
Sayin I should rap more
Sayin I should sing less
Sayin I should sing more
Sayin I should spit less
I couldn't give a fuck bout what you think
You were nowhere to be seen
When I was doing what I knew would put my family on they feet
I ain't walkin thru the game
Bitch I'm levitating
Bitch I drop bombs
It's no telling when I'm detonating
Coming from a meeting with people
That control your favorite artist
Money making up their mind
Their bank account is where their heart is
So we don't get along
Cuz my heart is where my art is
Even if you blackballed me its still fuck you regardless
Groupies multiplying
Leeches multiplying
Labels tryna figure out the secret I've been hiding

Ok this money that I'm makin yea thats new to me
All these women getting naked yea thats new to me
I'm the topic of conversation thats new to me
People aint believe I always did thats nothing new to me


New To Me (Prod. Russ)

my streak is impossible to break....

LYRICS : 

Tours overseas
Couple million on the table
By the time I'm 24 I'll be sellin out staples
I got big plans
Sing and rap
I can switch hands
Crossover killer
Labels know that I'm the hitman
Women all on me
Tryna give me sex favors
Take your clothes off you're a starter not a bench player
Then I gotta go
I won't say I'm heartless
But after dating hoes
I began to use my heart less
Had to pump the brakes
Cuz my drive got GPS
Sometimes I feel like the only real genius left
I'm tryna hit the blunt with Snoop on GGN
Even my blind hoe say she wanna see me win
Even my ex girl got my old CD in
Rotation you gon wish you didn't leave me when
I go and cop a little mazzi maybe cut the roof off
Cuz I'm all about the drop like EDM
I got my first arena show
I'm on the flight there now
I use to dream about the life that I'm livin right now
Makin money in abundance
Cuz I do so much for free
I don't work for the money
I make the money work for me
But the family going through it
That's a lotta my stress
Momma asking where's my iTunes and Spotify checks
It's funny cuz she use to ask when I was goin back to classes
Now I'm paying off her debts off of melodies and raps
It's fun takin south beach trips every month
Spend a mortgage on my sister by the time we eat lunch
Just to let her know no matter what her big bro got her
No dudes can trick on her
No Harlem globetrotters
Entry into my circle is more selective than a Rhodes scholar
Ship is sailing already so don't bother
But I do business
So if it makes sense
We can talk change
Just play your role and do it well just be like John Wayne
I'm Tom Hanks except I always remain captain
In Atlanta I don't dance but I always remain snappin
Cash in quantity
In less than a year I dropped your favorite rappers entire discography
I did every single beat
I mixed every single song
Walked in as the opener
But turned it to sing a long
Rapping on my beats got it sounding like a gospel
I take my hotel rooms and I turn em to a brothel
Women in rotation
Made it out the basement
Bank account lookin like a fucking donation
No amazement
I been patient
I've been cookin for so long I swear that I can taste it
This is laced with
Yung DiMaggio
My streak is impossible to break
Dropping hits everytime I'm at the plate
I might go away soon tho
Strategize the debut
Link with label
I see y'all playin I'm tryna play too

Just know I know what I'm doing and Imma always call the shots...


DiMaggio (Prod. Russ)

lately ive been winning.....

LYRICS : 

lately ive been pullin all these women off the strength
walk in the club the dj got me spinning off the strength
jumped in the game and lately ive been winning off the strength
aint gotta chase the money i just make it off the strength
lately ive been pullin all these women off the strength
walk in the club the dj got me spinning off the strength
jumped in the game and lately ive been winning off the strength
aint gotta chase the money i just make it off the strength what you think

I been on my puffy white linen shit 
South beach tan gold chains life's different 
Made a couple million before I turned 24
In less than a year Imma have twenty more 
Mr manifest 
Built this from the ground up
But never give my hands a rest 
Spirit never shakes it's a mannequin
Off the strength 
This feels different 
My women different  
Man my deals different 
Don't compare me 
I'm a rare breed

lately ive been pullin all these women off the strength
walk in the club the dj got me spinning off the strength
jumped in the game and lately ive been winning off the strength
aint gotta chase the money i just make it off the strength
lately ive been pullin all these women off the strength
walk in the club the dj got me spinning off the strength
jumped in the game and lately ive been winning off the strength
aint gotta chase the money i just make it off the strength what you think

i remember gettin treated poorly
i remember bitches would ignore me
i was always always on my own dick
now they always always tryna clone this

I leveled up 
Just ask my agents
Ask my accountant for the statements   
Ask Milan how basements turn to Vegas 
Strip strip strip strip 
Off the strength these women naked 
Wire transfers got two commas 
Momma I made it 
Tell Gianna pick it out 
Swipe swipe fuck the price tag 
I fly your girl out and then she flys back 
Then I resume to robes cigars and ocean balconies 
I dropped out and make 50 times my teachers salary 
Bachelor without the piece of paper 
Just a lotta funds 
I might go to tootsies throw a lotta ones 
You did your best you did your best but I felt neither 
Off the strength Imma get Adele features

lately ive been pullin all these women off the strength
walk in the club the dj got me spinning off the strength
jumped in the game and lately ive been winning off the strength
aint gotta chase the money i just make it off the strength
lately ive been pullin all these women off the strength
walk in the club the dj got me spinning off the strength
jumped in the game and lately ive been winning off the strength
aint gotta chase the money i just make it off the strength what you think

i remember gettin treated poorly
i remember bitches would ignore me
i was always always on my own dick
now they always always tryna clone this

Off The Strength (Prod. Russ)

i bring it to the light.....

LYRICS : 

Y'all gon have to do better
I can't believe what I'm seeing
All this bullshit going on
The industry is deceiving
All the masses
Pitching rappers as these independent grinds
Meanwhile there's been a label right behind them the whole time
Fake shit call it out
You were plugged before your first song
I was puttin in work
You were getting worked on
Yo fans are fickle
Cuz your come up is a mystery
My fans gon stick with me
Cuz me and them got history
Longer than 2 songs
You don't know how to build
You tried to start at the roof ah
You won't be here for too long
I don't fuck with crews unless you're the one who put the crew on
The rest of y'all got buzz because he put you on a few songs
Ooo umm did that strike a nerve
If the shoe fits then wear it
Either way I know the truth imma share it
See these rappers sign deals
Labels know what they're doing
They tell the rapper don't announce it
So the people keep rooting

Try to keep me on the hush but i do not give a fuck
This is Russ uncut ill expose you
You aint really seen shit just wait till im on
Then its on gotta lot i gotta show you
Why you gotta lie 
Ill bring it to the light
Gotta expose fake shit
I put in too much time

I'm comin thru exposing fake shit
God can't save you
Youre a boss?
You gotta boss
And that boss rapes you
Barely pays you
But you cool with it
You're a soldier unaware that you're a lieutenant
I gotta gripe with the media
All of y'all are wanna be's
Producers and rappers
Down for sodomy
Dick taking
Cuz the industry tells you to
It's fucked up I had a standard that I held you to
I'll name names if you provoke me
So shut your fucking mouth
My platform is way bigger
Than the ones that turned me down
Bunch of grown men and women
Talkin bout grown men and women for a livin
Man you gotta be kidding
Call me bitter
Call me jealous
Call me this
Call me that
This is 10 years grinding what the fuck you call that
Made the beats wrote the songs sang the hooks
And I mixed it
Everybody's gotta switch and y'all just flipped it

Try to keep me on the hush but i do not give a fuck
This is Russ uncut ill expose you
You aint really seen shit just wait till im on
Then its on gotta lot i gotta show you
Why you gotta lie 
Ill bring it to the light
Gotta expose fake shit
I put in too much time

You're an industry artist
I'm an artist in the industry
Me myself and I that's the holy fucking trinity
I partnered with Columbia
Partnered is the key word
We split the profits 50/50
Better do your research
Came in with my own fanbase
Sold out tours around the world before the handshakes
You see I play the game well
You let the game play you
You don't know your own power
You think the label saved you
Now subconsciously you owe them
You're submissive with your actions
Then you flop flop flop
And you wonder what happened
Couple things
You dropped one song and signed a deal
You have less than 10 songs out
You're not real
So the song became bigger than the artist
People know the song but they don't know the artist
Not enough songs to become their favorite artist
Not enough songs to be a headline artist
I could do a week long set if I performed my whole catalogue
Every single song the crowds sing and rap along
Fuck a summer I'm a decade rapper
You're here now I'll be here a decade after
I put out 11 albums

Exposed (Prod. Russ)

you know they always show up late....

LYRICS : 

Honolulu views sippin on some fresh guava
Bumping always knew and thinkin bout my next comma
I put my thoughts into the world until they come true
You chase women I'm the one that they run to
Russ moves smart this is something you could learn from
Rappers pay attention maybe you can finally earn something
Low overhead I don't need other people
Cuz everybody on my team is two other people
Multi faceted
I remember imagining
Livin how I'm livin
Now everything is extravagant
Jets rolexs new women new deals
Can't let a fake game try to tell you who's real
Cuz they gon try to but you gotta see thru shit
You don't have to sell your soul I'm the proof this is
Millionaire weed
Kush like Regis
I sound like an angel
And I look like Jesus
That's what the women tell me
Fuck it imma run with it
You ain't gonna get the throne back until I'm done with it
Money flow like water
Yea I'm getting Fiji checks
I'm huge in Honolulu
No wonder why Kiki (waikiki) left
I'm detached from anything y'all attached too
I'm in n out with my groupies like fast food
Who's the greatest say Russ when they ask you
I sell out shows quick enough to always add two
I laugh too cuz some promoters are slackin
But shoutout Cara Lewis always gets me a backend
Meaning you can sleep but we got that covered
You blew up in the spring and you were gone that summer
Money at my feet life's a cake walk
They love me out in Asia you would think I made K Pop
Too many j kwons
Not enough Raekwon's
Rappers use the same beat and flow and make the same song
I swear the last few months have been the best few months
I cant wait to see what happens in the next few months
And I can tell you only come around when success does
You only check for me when a check does
Ten blunts couldn't get you higher than me
Cuz I'm high off becoming what I aspired to be
You outdated like shirts by ed Hardy
You know they always show up late to the best party

think twice...

LYRICS : 

lose lose conversations
im bout to lose patience
said this in the basement
i cant front now
its taking everything in me not to say shit
so much fake shit
ever since i made it
i wont ever be quiet cuz im famous
yall gon hate this yea yea

this aint no average joe shit
this is everyday russell
joe got a day job
thats an everyday struggle
this for all the slow rappers who subliminally diss
you can @ it you can text it but youd rather be bitch
but its hard to hear the hate over these waves crashing
i think your time is up
i think your waves crashing
all that fade catching you promoting shit is all talk
the difference is my life is still lit when i log off pussy go head

lose lose conversations
im bout to lose patience
said this in the basement
i cant front now
its taking everything in me not to say shit
so much fake shit
ever since i made it
i wont ever be quiet cuz im famous
yall gon hate this yea yea

Fuck these fake alliances
I don't be buyin shit 
It's not in my interest 
You be window shopping 
I be buying it 
I'm fly as shit 
Just keep in mind what position you in 
If you lucky I might make a song and diss you again
And when I say you 
I meant you too
They call my bono 
Rappers sending subtweets 
Rappers stealing logos 
Rappers feeling jumpy 
Then bounce pussy pogo 
This gon get a billion streams
This for the rappers who need promo
This for rappers who need other rappers hooks to go bronze
This for rappers who need other rappers shows to go 
On
Go off
These for rappers who still suck still
6 years later you still stuck still 
Still on the uphill 
There's some rappers who won't be here by the
Next June
Theres some rappers who still asking for some leg room
I just give em half a bar like they give themselves 
I kick back and watch these losers go and kill themselves

lose lose conversations
im bout to lose patience
said this in the basement
i cant front now
its taking everything in me not to say shit
so much fake shit
ever since i made it
i wont ever be quiet cuz im famous
yall gon hate this yea yea

these junkie ass rappers basing brands off of drug addiction
and im the bad guy for calling it out?
you the one who got kids OD'ing tryna be like you
and im the bad guy for calling it out....
