[Verse 1]
Had to dumb it down for the broke n***as that didn't get it
At the gym, 7:00 p.m., shooting like Redick
But now I got the funds, so these hoes they gonna follow
Shorty caught my last show posted at the Apollo
She on Instagram like, "Tae, can I get a follow?"
I spoke some facts, now I know that is hard to swallow
But stop acting 'cause you know that be my motto
What do you expect from me, something simple?
A few bars and a few flows with an instrumental
I question you like this a test, not a riddle
I'm straightforward, never send shots or mixed signals
Shorty know I never lied, I kept it real with you
I swear that everything you do, I'm in the feels for you
You tripping on a snap, I swear I can not deal with you
Now guess what, yeah, I done flexed up
You rock with the movement, you sees that I'm next up
I can't rest up, these n***as they want my spot
Waiting for me to stop like they watching the ball drop
New year, same you, n***a you ain't switching
Caught you in that courtroom, heard that you be snitching
N***a you so fake, like hair with dread extensions
Remember days you wouldn't give my songs any attention
But now you want my clout and a few followers
Hungry for my fame, like n***as is out here starving her
"Hey Retro, yeah, I like that song, "Water Whippin""
I look at competition like most of these n***as tripping
I put up all effort, I never show less
Where most you n***as at when Tae Retro was homeless
Moving from house to house made a n***a feel homesick
But nowadays having a house isn't a problem
Most these hoes didn't come around 'til I was popping
And even more prolly gon' show when I start quaping
I'm not suprised, none of your efforts are really shocking
So hang it all up like we putting up Christmas stockings
You on the outside just waiting, so keep knocking
You on your job, stop slacking off, your boss watching
[Chorus]
Ayy, and I heard 'em say
Not too many make it up out the K
Ayy, and I heard 'em say
Keep on grinding 'til you see better days
Keep on grinding 'til you see better days
Keep on grinding 'til you see better days

[Interlude]
Yeah, Retro, Retro
Retro

[Verse 2]
One time for the ones in the back who didn't hear it
I'm kicking lyrics, most of these n***as, they gon' fear it
They prolly cheering on, like, "Retro, you really next"
No need to flex, I can just pull up them old texts
I sent links, left me on R, what can I do?
Hoes get some weave and start acting all brand new
You stressing over nothing, I'm making these money moves
And yeah I got the sauce while they wanna come see me lose

[Chorus]
Ayy, and I heard 'em say
Not too many make it up out the K
Ayy, and I heard 'em say
Keep on grinding 'til you see better days
Keep on grinding 'til you see better days
Keep on grinding 'til you see better days
Yeah, yeah
[Outro]
Ayy, and I heard 'em say
Not too many make it up out the K
Ayy, and I heard 'em say
Keep on grinding 'til you see better days
Keep on grinding 'til you see better days
Retro, Retro
