Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Found my sanctuary, you heard me?

You know a nigga had to walk on water

'Cause I ain't wanna bring that back to the sanctuary

Yeah, won't say I-, look

You know I had, uh

Did the incapable, started a battery, got back in charge, did it again

Haters hate to admit I'm amazing, I mastered the art of incapable wins

Top of the mountain, my feather was floating on top of my head while facing the wind

Father creator, forgive all my sins, Almighty creator, I need to be cleansed

Rocking all white, spirit fulfilled, lit up the sage inside of the Benz

Swimming with sharks, I get caught slipping, I ain't doin' no boss tripping

Did a few miracles

Walked on water in front of you niggas

I borrowed a pair of God slippers

I borrowed a pair of God slippers

Did a few miracles

I borrowed a pair of God slippers

Made 'em believe, I did a few miracles

I borrowed a pair of God slippers

Walked on water in front of you niggas

I borrowed a pair of God slippers

Me, I'm the real deal, no pretending (for real)

I'm with my engineer, we on business (yeah)

Cut the balloon, wrapper ink inner tube

'Bout to vacuum seal reassemble (yee)

Wide streams with the wide wings

With the grid lines, I done tried things

Diamond link with the small B

With the big steps in the middle

Michael Jackson, bad with the riddles

You gotta get some fast comprehension

Moonwalking backwards with a lot of squares

I maneuver past competition

Last year, I was on my ass, I was doing bad, I remember (I remember)

Said a prayer as I sped past (vroom)

Do the dash in the Bentley (do the dash in the Bentley)

Did the incapable, started a battery, got back in charge, did it again

Haters hate to admit I'm amazing, I mastered the art of incapable wins

Top of the mountain my feather was floating on top of my head while facing the wind

Father creator, forgive all my sins, Almighty creator, I need to be cleansed

Rocking all white, spirit fulfilled, lit up the sage inside of the Benz

Swimming with sharks, I get caught slipping, I ain't doing no boss tripping

Did a few miracles

Walked on water in front of you niggas

I borrowed a pair of God slippers

I borrowed a pair of God slippers

Did a few miracles

I borrowed a pair of God slippers

Made 'em believe, I did a few miracles

I borrowed a pair of God slippers

Walked on water in front of you niggas

I borrowed a pair of God slippers

She can't manipulate me, she got frustrated

She done reach the point of no return (return)

Go live with what you did and don't return

I'm up in rank, I had to wait my turn (my turn)

Mm, chief finally got my turn

Speaking out of turn, one day you gon' learn

Made my heart hurt, now you in your feelings

Cry me a river, I am not concerned (I am not concerned)

Ain't getting mushy, we keeping it pushing

I'm stretching my muscle, I know how to hustle

Wealth of experience, I come out the gutter

You come out the mud, you could come out from nothing

Bought me a brick, I done cut down the hundreds

Supplying them junkies, controlling the summer

Trampoline trappers supporting my youngins

Breadwinner package, you know I'm coming

Did the incapable, started a battery, got back in charge, did it again

Haters hate to admit I'm amazing, I mastered the art of incapable wins

Top of the mountain my feather was floating on top of my head while facing the wind

Father creator, forgive all my sins, Almighty creator, I need to be cleansed

Rocking all white, spirit fulfilled, lit up the sage inside of the Benz

Swimming with sharks, I get caught slipping, I ain't doing no boss tripping

Did a few miracles

Walked on water in front of you niggas

I borrowed a pair of God slippers

I borrowed a pair of God slippers

Did a few miracles

I borrowed a pair of God slippers

Made 'em believe, I did a few miracles

I borrowed a pair of God slippers

Walked on water in front of you niggas

I borrowed a pair of God slippers
