TOPE!
Had the dope bringer
Aye
We used to piece up on sprinters
Northface coat for the winter
Thinking about the days I was thinner
Before the 500 dollar dinners, house meetings with sinners
And DM’s from hoes that look like Britney Renner
We were selling counterfeit kits of Kylie Jenner
Off the H gate getting my pay straight, dreams of being signed those days done past
Some n***as couldn’t wait, they sold their masters for cash
I would’ve done it too, but I had to see it through, plus the shit they offered me I could’ve made when I was two
I’m 20 years in, I’m not new just new to you
I’ve been rappin this good since GoldLink was sinking crew
Knew the day would come, I chose to stay and build at home
Knew the bay would come, but I ain’t make it on my own
It took Tessie, Yaya, Millie, child, Fonny, Cujo, truly how the fuck that I get here from where I came born in a plane flight attendant know my name
Some days I cry thinking how could I complain
When you die inside, It’s hard to find the remains
When you look around and ain’t no one to blame, You gon’ feel empowered or ashamed
I done felt both on most days, it’d be hard to breathe
If I told you what I’ve done, you probably wouldn’t believe
The mud on my sleeves, the dirt on my hands, the blood on my shirt, the flaws of this man
This is life rap, the kind n***as stop making, the kind of artist that the label stop break in
More than eggs and bacon, n***a this shit bakin
350° guess what I’m making, cake
No white sugar is made with dates
It’s better for your health, but it ain’t affect the taste, bitch!
N***a this life rap, you feel me, aye
(Chorus)

What a shame, Ima let Mali talk to you n***as
(Malachi)
Yeah
Tryna find peace, Tryna find God, tryna to be me, tryna to be Oz, yeah
Whoopin n***as ass, Experian of rap, ask how many bands I carry a lot, due to my past I’m using my craft to make us a bag, and give it all back and then we can brag like I did that
Made us a profit, we split that, that’s how you supposed to do it, I wanna use my talent to lead cause that’s how you supposed to use it
I wear a smile when I’m in town, but I be going through it
They put me in, I’m tryna run it like how Boa do it
Finna go from sidelines to headlines from Merced to Bed-stuy
Ain’t chillin, I wanna do five more verses before bedtime for real
Working on my dream before I dream
Underpaid and overlooked but just watch me over achieve
And watch me get everything, man I’m Finna take anything
Put your hands up n***a, we leaving with everything
Play the game out of love and I’m still trying to get a ring
I get the ball and throw it deep, the toe drags, it’s good to see
Toe drags a touchdown, look at me like what now
Don’t look at me we up now, and I don’t give a fuck now
I’m just playing with you, uh, I’m on the way, we Finna make it n***a
It’s muthafuckin Mali
