[Verse 1]
I just drip and floss
I gotta make it just so I can prove them niggas wrong
And I've been thinking bout investments, I can't spit for long
Comfy in my sliders, they just wanna see me flip and flop
Shit they really think I'm lost
I've been shelling ever since I held a shell in
Took a bullet in my back and then I shut down Leeds and Reading
Hope you niggas ain't forgetting
When a teacher in a lesson
Just a student of the game
I ain't watching no one's journey I'm just cruising in my lane
I ain't trying to die young
Eritrean princess I've been trying to find one
Shivers down your body when I'm kissing on you
To get closer to my dreams I had to distance from you
Cah that body too distracting
Made me wanna do a madness
Cause even though we've got some chemistry I've gotta do mathematics
Yeah I've gotta get this money
No point acting like you're gonna get it for me
I've been an influencer way before a thousand likes
You niggas get it easy now, the streets taught us how to grind
Before I found this light of mine
I done had the darkest days
Sticky like some masking tape
Don't know about me? Ask your mate
All these pressures of success
This year's the only year a nigga ever felt depressed
My songs ain't doing numbers still they tell me I'm the best
New chick made me forget how I felt about my ex
2017 I had the loudest summer
Nominated realest nigga to come out my borough
2015 I thought I found my first love
But in reality I couldn't bring her round my mother
And in reality they only love you on the come-up
And in reality you win they pray you gonna f*ck up
Facts
No more being poor, put you in Dior
Just to reassure you that this D is yours
[Break: Cadet]
This is my only option in life
My only option
So I cannot accept that
This is all I have
This has to work
You know what I'm saying?
[Verse 2]
If you saw what I saw, if you felt what I felt
If you bled how I bled you'd understand my mental health
I've got family who I love but I ain't seen in years
And I've been crying three years straight but you won't see the tears
A nigga really tried to rob me, had to keep aware
Tried to straighten out that teef and now I'm moving their's
Yeah I tried to fix that problem, couldn't be repaired
Just know karma's round the corner, better be prepared
Still woke, I chased my dreams but they was sleeping on me
I told you everything but secrets you tried keeping from me
In the club with hoes, they just want drugs and sex
Shawty probably pop a Molly then go sleep with Tommy
Well, bottles of champagne to drink my pain away
Fame that made you change while I remain the same
Five bills for the hoodie if I didn't pay a K
And it must smell like a monkey becah it Bathing Ape
A nigga's calling me shower becah I make it rain
Thought you was gonna make a change?
Gassed up your mate and now your mate's away
If that's your broski then why'd you let him razor blade?
Knife and gun crime
I miss all them fun times
Donny up in cunch but what he's wrapping ain't no punchlines
See what I'm rapping is the truth
Tell me why this New Era love capping in the booth
I turn on my TV; another stabbing on the news
Now they wanna blame drill for what happened to the youth
Daily Duppy I came back for number two
How can a man go? I got passion like the fruit
