Intro:
Everything ain't what it seems
One day. You'll know what it means
Verse 1:
I was the one with the waves. Went to school rocking shades.
Pockets lower than my grade. Flex level high as my age. I coulda' flexed for some days.
I had these kicks, tag said they 226, momma bought 'em for 28.
I went to school, my dudes say them shits is the truth, what they run? I Put the tag up in they face
Cause I had the juice. All of my homies had hoes, 'cept for me. Wasn't keeping an close.
Cause they did the most. They wanna cuff and hold hands but my hands was busy writing flows.
But if I approach, I made sure to let 'em know exactly how I want it to go.
But they couldn't handle a real one like me cause they'd stop hitting back when I hit up they phone.
Aye, it's cool cause all it takes a couple pictures from when I get on for them to reconsider.
I'm sauced up like an alcoholic drippin' lemon zest but I ain't never bitter.
I'm a sit and fellowshippin' fellow. Mellow, spitting flows until they getting bold I'm cello picking.
Shiii, went from never bein' picked to setting trends settin' in deception.
Pimpin', I was so cool bumping ray cash in my own mind, but I didn't listen.
I lived through all my homeboys till I realized that i wasn't living.
Too young to understand God and my soul purpose to give it attention.
I was 16 flexing Eddie Bauer.. brand names was the only mission.
Hook: (x4)
I was the kid with the sauce
I was the one dripping water, I was the boss
I used to rock Eddie Bauer
Bridge:
Run that check up
We just tryna' run that check up (x2)
Run that check up
That's the way that they'll respect us
Run that check up
We just tryna' run that check up
Run that check up
We just tryna run that check up (x2)
Run that check up
That's the way that they'll respect us
Run that check up
Only if you steady flexin
Verse 2:
Flex on 'em like bodybuilders
You ain't cool unless somebody feels ya'
Burning bridges tryna' count your figures
Till you figure out it's nobody near ya'
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
We need an answer from the heavens above
Cause this ain't enough
Aye
Flex, flex, flex, flex
Move weight, chest press
I need best dressed
More love less sex
Wait
More sex, yes, yes
Rent due, next check
Blew it all, Gucci sneaks
Just so they notice me
Bridge:
Everything aint what it seem
One day you'll know what it means
All that shines may not be gold
Greatest story never told (x2)
