Lyrics

Greetings to all
 Ayy
 Greetings to all
 Uh
 Greetings to all
 Here from the edge of a wall
 Upon a ledge where I'll fall
 Might be the way to make sense of it all
 Certainly worked for the dog
 I'm talking pet of my mama's mama
 Grandma mama
 Jumped for his life, lost it instead
 Didn't like heights, I gotta guess
 Liked starving to death even less
 Living room was a badly-lit mess
 Only inside of the room, there's no breath
 Pardon me Carol if I get it wrong
 We never met, this is only a song
 I heard a story just once with my mom
 She said the bottles you held, it ain't last very long
 When you gave out no one knew that you gone
 Or knew that you couldn't bring food to the dog
 Damn, look at that beast licking, gnawing
 And it had made her cheeks utter deceased
 Little white noise coming out the TV
 Warming up, blowing the heat
 Door to the balcony cracked just enough to hear
 Honking of horns in the street
 Wonder how long little Fluffy just stood there
 And stared, knowin' it's either he jump or not eat?
 Some families don't rise, they drop from the sky
 Four little paws and a bark to the gods
 Born from the death of a queen in New York
 Mama took that but fought with those odds
 Insert the blood, Fluffy just jumped
 To me, he's always been a hero unsung
 Mama jumped too like, "Fuck it, I'm here"
 And I'ma jump too like, "Fuck it, let's go"
 'Cause I don't really see no other clear road
 It's just get dead or grow to get old
 Really can't risk not taking that risk
 Fluffy done jumped, how am I gon' ditch?
 Backflip the fuck off a cliff, lil' bitch
 In front of foundation, make a quick wish
 RTJ, no fall from grace
 Have a great day, get the bag and away, ayy
 There's never a test too major
 No matter what time may bring
 The world built a mess to break us made us
 Kings and queens
 There's never a test too major
 No matter what time may bring
 The world built a mess to break us made us
 Kings and queens, kings and queens
 Some' 'bout the feel of this beat
 Making me think of Denise, that was my mama
 Also the Levy and Shonda
 But we here by Betty and that story heavy, yeah
 But right now the focus is Five-Finger Freddy
 Who worked for Big Eddy who drove in a Chevy
 The color spaghetti and he sold the lettuce
 And lettuce is actually weed, ayy
 I know you actually know 'cause
 You ain't no actual ho, uh
 I had to be about nine at the time
 This had to be '84, so
 Mama was pretty and Freddy was petty
 So he played my mom like a lame
 But he did not know that Denise was a beast
 She flipped on his ass insane
 A stick and a stab, a stick and a stab
 He couldn't get ahold of her hand
 A stick and a stab, a stick and a stab
 My mama was whooping a man
 Fuckboy Freddy wasn't ready
 Playing with Denise 'bout fetti
 Got left bloody and messy
 Learnt my lesson, and my lesson was
 Be impeccable with your word
 Even dope boys on the curb
 You a king, say what you mean and mean yo' word
 Or you might get fucked up
 Left out leaking like Freddy on the side of a curb
 With a blood-stained hand
 Mama still fit my clothes
 Told me, "Stand like a man
 And never fold for these hoes"
 Look
 There's never a test too major
 No matter what time may bring
 The world built a mess to break us made us
 Kings and queens
 There's never a test too major
 No matter what time may bring
 The world built a mess to break us made us
 Kings and queens, kings and queens
 The world built a mess to break us made us
 Kings and queens, kings and queens
