[Chorus: Mick Jenkins]
Influence must be
N***as want me on a board now, trustee
Just in case they can't implore you, they'll nudge me
Influence must be (Yeah, yeah)
Influence must be (Yeah, yeah)
Influence must be (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Who you follow, who you leading? Trust me
It's gon' show who you believe in
Influence

[Verse 1: greenSLLIME]
Uh, I hear 'em talking but I ain't concerned
N***a, this patience
The streets teach you how to wait your turn
What you in a hurry for?
Death around the corner
And they sell that shit at the corner store
Two for five, n***a, fuck it, free ninety-nine
Whole bird on a flight how I flee from a crime
You and your crew peas in a pod
Put you in the same coffin
Keep Clorox, you stained often
That shit you dropped soft n***a, I done felt it rain harder
I dropped the stove in the water
I'm getting high like my father
I catch a flashback every time it rock up
So my n***as gone, some locked up
Remember when those were just lines in a song?
Now it's my life they say I lived it too long
What the fuck is a PTSD? I'm DUI with a Glock 19, n***a
[Chorus: Mick Jenkins]
Influence must be
Who you follow, who you leading? Trust me
It's gon' show who you believe in

[Verse 2: Mick Jenkins]
N***as still teething
Scheming nevertheless
I peep it, never impressed
The sequel is never progressive
How ironic
Wasn't grown with hydroponics, I clone
Bits and pieces I own
Memories in my leaves
This n***a knew how to dress
And now I'm all in the clothes
But ain't no crease if I fold
Ain't no peace if I bleed
Connections I don't want
They telling me I need
They need me to say
Or may need me to see
Or may need me to tweet
And I may need two fucks
Say what I mean on these beats
Y'all reading between
Y'all marvel at these flows
We keeping them clean
We keeping it authentic
Who need to be screened?
Who really the fam?
Who really here to see and be seen?
[Chorus: Mick Jenkins]
(Yeah, ooh) Influence must be (Yeah, yeah)
Why n***as who don't know me in my face sayin' they love me (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Influence must be
Influence must be (Oo-ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Influence
