Better believe that!
Had the Air Force 1's with the strap down
Fuck getting packed out, you'll get Pacquiáo'd
First n***a that jump bad he will get sat down
Same hoes used to front, want it from the back now

Had to eat the top ramen by the pack owww

Fuck that you're hogging the mic, lemme rap now

I need all my money, all cash, in my right hand, or I'm walking now
Because I'm too high, I'm too drunk, I'm too good, I'm on

Fuck a n***a fronting, and I do this shit for the family
Only n***a to put 'n***as' on his Grammy
There he go again talking about his Grammy
The beats put him on, but the flows' been advancing
Now a days everybody wanna talk
Like they got something to say
But nothing comes out when they move their lips
Just a bunch of gibberish
And motherfuckers act like they forgot about Hit
Now a days everybody wanna talk
Like they got something to say
Compare me to n***as that be shootin up in the game
Fucking a shame, but I'm just here to get my buzz
Give a fuck about a fuck n***a
Say what n***a I can give a fuck about a fuck n***a
(Know what I'm talkin' bout)
