LYRICS:

Ah nah nah

Ah nah nah

Well I’m an alleycat, some say a dirty rat

On my side is my gat but I’m lying about that

Still bumping Buckshot

Trench coat all in matte black

Hat with the curls banging right out the back

Facts

I dive in

Open eyelids, fuck a silence

Big pharma rest in piss

And get the Heisman

Look in my iris, see the trips where I’ve been

Anti pill bottle, pro psilocybin

Still buying bootleg Gucci from China

Donate most but still throw it on consignment

Red carpet, Jeff Goldblum’s behind us

And they ain’t got a clue that these ain’t real diamonds

Don’t turn me back to the old me

Backpack, rapping and battling back in Oly

I was studying the Carter one right after ‘03

Marinara brick oven on the terrace with the goat cheese

You flatbread from Panera, don’t approach me

Coasting

David Blaine on that beat, floating

OGs, don’t make a motherfucker OD

That outfit, that’s a no for me

If you’re going to do drugs I can suggest some

But I wouldn’t spend that much of your money on Codeine

I ain’t judging, enjoy your life

But that shit is killing people and it’s overpriced

Hit the club, get the bag

Man I know that’s right

But let me teach you youngbloods how to hold the mic

I’m older right

Never had a poltergeist

And still slap a rapper like a white Dolemite, ah

Black out, stage dive right into the crowd

I never tap out and I ain’t working for a fucking suit so don’t ask now

That’s why I always speak my mind and never back down

Since Pac was behind Shock up in the background

Shh, shh, shh, watch the cops

Started to rap because I cannot pop and lock

Went from selling nicks in a knot in my sock

To selling out arenas where the Knicks throw up shots

Goddamn, that’s a hell of a come up

European festival money, that’s a hell of a summer

I remember they were saying I’d be a one-hit wonder

40 platinum later boy they were wrong about the number

Nah nah

I’m so focused, the pen is so potent

The beachfront look like I own the whole ocean

Pull up in that, skrrt skrrt, the door opens

The mint coat dragging on the floor I ain’t even notice

These rappers so emotive

Grown men emoji

Face crying all on their socials

And I ain’t hating, I guess I’m just old school

We suppress feelings and scrapped right after homeroom

Old gold, OJ, and some cold shrooms

20oz of Faygo to go with the soul food

Look what I made off of Protools

Still remind pops “Aw man yeah I told you”
