[Intro]
I, some, some, some, some, say
All my young n***as—
Ayy, ayy-ayy, ayy
Ayy

[Verse 1]
Dance with the lights on
Snakes and a pythons, run with your head cut
Hand on the Bible
Stage with the light show, bed with the bedbugs
Check if the mic on
For the check that I sign on, tell me what I'm worth
Sleep when it's bedtime
Gave up the airtime, whole city graveyard

[Hook 1]
Most of these dudes played varsity ball
Now, most of these dogs in jail or they gone
Yeah, and most of me dogs call most women "hoes"
While most of the youth play most of the songs

[Verse 2]
Album got a deadline
Blog with a headline, always a headline
Dapped in the Alpine
Whole city bedtime, most of us flatline
Most of us die young
N***as been starving, all of us diet
Ball with a ballpoint
Lie to the All-Knowing, like He not all-knowing
[Hook 2]
Most of these dude don't wanna be thugs
But most of these news call most of us "thugs"
And most of these shooters be the boys in the blue
And most of these doors don't open and close

[Post-Hook]
Ayy, most these n***as starve for so long, get a plate, and
Forget to thank God, they forgot to say grace, hey
Most people, they only want to be seen, hey
Most people, they only want to be seen, hey (Ugh, ugh, you can)
Mark my word, where I'm from isn't safe
I'ma stay up out the Lawn 'cause I don't want some snakes, hey
Most people, they were taught by the fake, hey
(Most who think they real, they were taught by the fake, hey)
Most people, they only want to be seen, hey
(Most these n***as hard, only want to be seen, ayy)

[Verse 3]
Riding with a new scent
Chain like a new noose,, cop in the rearview
Save all your two cents
Try and catch me like Mewtwo, they'll be happy to shoot you
Life not some sitcom streaming on Hulu
There's no one to the rescue, no one to defend you
They know that I've been through
What most of 'em been through
[Hook 3]
Most of the youth in love with a gun
'Cause most of the young don't wanna be young
And most of these dogs don't love anymore
We know where they go, like we reading a palm

[Post-Hook]
Ayy, most these n***as starve for so long, get a plate, and
Forget to thank God, they forgot to say grace, hey
Most people, they only want to be seen, hey
Most people, they only want to be seen, hey (Ugh, ugh, you can)
Mark my word, where I'm from isn't safe
I'ma stay up out the Lawn 'cause I don't want some snakes, hey
Most people, they were taught by the fake, hey
(Most who think they real, they were taught by the fake, hey)
Most people, they only want to be seen, hey
(Most these n***as hard, only want to be seen, ayy)

[Skit: Chance the Rapper]
Yo, Chance the Rapper here. Uh, playing drums. Learning how to play the drums has always been on my bucket list. Um, drummers just ... they get the girl.
