[Intro]
Food, shelter and clothing is the basic necessities in life
He's kind of a mystic, a modern master
His brain is one of the most singular creations of the last century
Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together
Okay, okay, okay
[Verse: Roc Marciano]
Bleed liquid coke when I slit your throat
The fishing pole broke, I was reeling in a rich ho
If she flipping, just let that bitch go (Let it go)
Distant smoke made business slow
Got crazy women, so I know when n***as is feminine
You could never check my temperature on the internet
Empty threats from a jealous ex, she need medicine for Tourette's
A hurtful text couldn't disturb my rest
Made some chicken off raps you thought was some chicken scratch
Don't make me dig in my bag, the magnum ain't gift-wrapped
This is me giving back, uh
It's not a catch twenty-two this a TEC-22
We the get money crew
I put you dudes up in a hospital bedroom
I bet your legs won't move
Why in school you ain't learn social cues?
Excuse me if I'm opening wounds
Expensive clothes won't soothe
All this ice won't remove my bruise
You hide behind your jewels, but that's not how I was groomed
Every full moon, I spot a witch I knew riding a broom (*Howl*)
Whizzin' by in Balenciaga shoes (Uh)
And if we being frank
I created this lane, if you hating, then eat a frank
It can go either way, I will not turn you away if you need a fade
I'm just playing my guy, don't be afraid (You have nothing to fear)
[Outro: Roc Marciano]
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, baby
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, baby
[Outro]
Stackin' up this paper high as the, uh, you know
Ozone, you know, yeah, already
You know, so, that's what it's really about
But, uh, all this old shit here
If I wasn't rappin', I'd still be doin' this old shit here, you know
This ain't nothin' but materialistic, you know
Knowledge is power, I'm 'bout makin' some money, man
You know, puttin' this shit together
