Lyrics

That '70s heroin
 Heron Preston
 Teflon
 ♪
 I got so many kids in the game it's like a gender revealing
 I got that feeling, Lionel Richie, Dancing on the Ceiling
 Hope it resemble a Van Gogh when you paint me the villain
 The hate is real but you should note that the love is way realer
 Crafty with a pen way before I could pack 'em in
 Nasty with dreads, a slim teen, young, I was passionate
 A brand-new book cracklin' sound when you open I'm writin' gems'
 I make gospel in the booth it might sound like I'm writing hymns
 Put designer with the Timbs, wow
 They wanna run with my style
 40-16 Building bussin' 'em down
 And the fiends was like employees bringin' customers 'round
 Hurricane waters niggas had dreams of flooding the town
 Weather report lookin' rainy but I skate through it daily
 In a new gray Mercedes, waterproof Jordan Laneys
 I'm sizzlin', scorchin', handsomely how they gotta pay me
 Every recording off the head, I'm in the studio lately
 Nas, Nas
 I don't bang but I'm makin' that Crip
 Let my bitch run in the Webster while I blaze in the whip
 Take my quotes, I'm here to give hope
 Start a company from one of my phrases
 We in the age of lettin' dumb shit kill your kingdom
 Body bags for no reason
 Young shit, blunts lit, slurring off of the Seagrams
 Hell with it, creep through the shadows
 Eyes wide open, tires still smokin'
 Brakes screechin' he's tweakin'
 He see himself way different than we see him
 He speak as if these mean streets was only his region
 Shit everybody's squeezin'
 Niggas know what I came in this game with
 I'm not a entertainer, that's just a disclaimer
 For what I'm 'bout to say
 Famous people sayin' they hate bein' famous
 Millionaires hate it
 People take just to feel like they made it
 Whoever claim that you changed 'cause the money came
 They'd do the same if they saw they name on a hundred thangs
 Pardon the haters, it's my billi' behavior
 If they don't say I'm the G.O.A.T, that's just silly behavior
 It's the ones you grew up with that's with the dumb shit
 They want you slumped 'cause you get love, ain't that some shit?
 20 trucks at the awards, we be movin' so crazy
 I don't buy into the hype, I'm in the studio lately
 It's the ones you grew up with, that's with the dumb shit
 They want you slumped 'cause you get love, ain't that some shit?
 20 trucks at the awards, we be movin' so crazy
 I don't buy into the hype, I'm in the studio lately
 Nas, Nas
 I don't bang but I'm makin' that Crip
 Let my bitch run in the Webster while I blaze in the whip
 I'm outta here
 I told niggas I was in rare form on the last album
 I ain't playin' out here
 It's not a game
 Woo!
