[Chorus: Kanye West & KayCyy]
Tryna hold me hostage, oh, yeah, yeah (Yeah, uh)
This is God's test, oh, yeah, yeah (Yeah, uh)
This is for the projects, oh, yeah, yeah (Yeah, uh)
Different kind of moshpit, oh, yeah, yeah (Yeah, uh)
Devil held me hostage (Devil held me hostage, yeah)

[Verse 1: Kanye West, Dem Jointz & KayCyy]
(Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
Avoiding all the pit falls
When they let the chihuahuas mix up with big dogs (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
This a test, this a test, I gotta pass though, pass though (Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
I can't even be a, asshole, black hole (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Sharks in the midst of tadpoles (Tadpoles, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
Followed all of the guidelines (Guidelines, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
Won't He get it done on time? (Yee, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
This is how we land it, right here in Atlanta
Southside, David Banner (Yeah)
We don't wanna, (Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah), we don't wanna get into it, every time I get into it
I can't lie and say I didn't do it
I can't lie and say I didn't do it (I-)
Yeah, I was late, I was truant (I-)
I can't lie and say I didn't do it (I-)
Oh, yeah, yeah (That’s all yeah, yeah)
Even the Methodists tryna see what my method is
Prayer the most important meal like breakfast is
God's state the biggest state like Texas is
Made to double deficits and the licenses
Run up a number, best it is, that's the evidence, yeah
Censors presidents, that's the evidence, yeah (I-)
That's the evidence, yeah
Movin' on up, ain't stoppin' with them Jeffersons, no (I-)
[Chorus: Kanye West & 2 Chainz]
Tryna hold me hostage, oh, yeah, yeah

This is for the projects, oh, yeah, yeah
Different kind of moshpit, oh, yeah, yeah
Devil held me hostage, oh, yeah, yeah

Try to hold me hostage, oh, yeah, yeah (Uh)
This is God's test, oh, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2: 2 Chainz & KayCyy]
Okay I showed up, and showed out (Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
For dead homies, poured out
My partner havin' pains he claim, that's why he take a Perc a lot (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Someone never broke your heart, only hittin' certain spots
Starin' at the stars, I saw angels playing a guitar (Yeah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
This for the old block, oh, yeah (Oh, yeah)
My momma put the deed up for folks bail (Folks bail)
Used to get the work at a whole sale
That's back when my office was the hotel (Uh)
I promised this, who raised y'all?, who's son is this? (Who's son is this?)
My role model used to sell a 36 (A brick)
And rock the crucifix with Cartiers and gold teeth (Alright)
The trappers down the street from where Creflo preach
Ain't sell dope, dope, man it sold me
If I was from Colorado, I'd know how to ski
If I was from Hawaii, I'd know how to surf
But I'm from the trenches of Atlanta, I know how to work
Blood on my shirt, he got hit right next to me (Next to me)
I don't get REM, I don't sleep that good (I don't sleep)
I'm a phone addict, told my pills don't make me do it (Don't do it)
Chain smoking just before I graduated school (I did)
On promethazine, I was mean, I was foolish
See me with a double cup, it must be a reunion
And where I'm from you gotta put your mind in the gym
You gotta be strong when you surrounded by a sin, let's do it
[Chorus: Kanye West & 2 Chainz]
Tryna hold me hostage (Yeah), oh, yeah, yeah
This is God's test, oh, yeah, yeah
This is for the projects, oh, yeah, yeah
Different kind of moshpit, oh, yeah, yeah (Uh)
Devil held me hostage, oh, yeah, yeah (Uh)
Devil held me hostage (Devil held me hostage)
Tryna hold me hostage, oh, yeah, yeah (Yeah)
This is God's test, oh, yeah, yeah (Toni)
