Michelin Star
[Intro]
Uh

[Verse]
Ayy, speakers knock, but I didn't get in by my lonely
Lighters up, I gotta burn one for the homies that forever stayed
Down since the only island that we seen was Stony
Water murky, that shit felt more like the Everglades
High-rises built just like Section 8, you trapped up there
Purgin' all this foo shit, know that you can smell the sage, you step in here
Baggin' up the Echinacea, what's the tea on me? He too low-key, I'm sellin' lemonadе
I stay out the way, it's n***as in the way, swear, thеy not in the way
And would feel a way if I mentioned names, this shit is strange
These n***as facts be opinion based, but not in your face
Shiftin' shapes when they in your space, I'm a square reader
A small circle and we ain't adding a hare, neither
We all tortoise, came out of my shell, n***as not here for the fair weather
Ain't under no spell, I know you smell what a n***a cookin, I'm hungry as hell
These n***as gon' bear witness a Michelin star, could see it this far
Back when a n***a was line cookin', I'm sous chefin' these days
Proof-readin' these plates with a fine-tooth comb, won't find a line crooked
Still castin' lines, now I'm hookin' big fish out these waves
Yeah, still remember when it was minimum wage, yeah
Remember n***as went through their parts, no complaints
Now the art get contaminated and hearts full of shade, tend not to harp on the hate
Ayy, speakers knock but I didn't get in by my lonely
Lighters up, I gotta burn one for the homies that forever stayed down
