Yeah, yeah.
Hmm, hmm.
Have to smoke at night.
How will I quit weed?
Socializing bores me.
Listening to people bores me.
Madness in my body
Wants to cause me trouble.
I need to clean my heart before I clean my body.
Yeah, yeah.
Nobody coached me.
Bad chick in my pocket.
Baby, help me with the overflow.
Yeah, hmm.
And no matter the plans.
My mom has to think logical.
I'm in an ugly vibe.
We can't even get scholarships.
Before anything, there's not even friendship.
You know, I can love you a lot and still forget pity.
Before, I complained a lot, I grew up, I got used to it.
My fee keeps rising, now it's too easy to mess things up.
Hmm, hmm.
Middle finger up.
Middle finger up.
Middle finger up.
Who deserves the honor?
Who deserves the honor?
Who deserves the honor?
Hmm.
Who deserves the honor?
Time will prove us right.
Yeah, yeah.
Middle finger up.
Hmm.
I started from zero.
I can't go back to zero.
To my exes, I'm trash.
But to my fans, I'm a hero.
No more acting crazy.
Sit on your bed and think.
The haters want to shut you down.
Listen to the lyrics and dance.
I'm not wet even when it rains.
Way too far ahead of time.
He wants to eat at every table, so he says he doesn't have a side.
Mom, I'm coming home.
Need to recite a psalm.
Sellouts want my life.
As if I belonged to the ground.
We were born alone, you want to copy.
I felt betrayed and forgotten.
The verb "to have" comes with cash.
The game gives a shirt I've folded.
Middle finger up to my rivals.
You're not good, so I don't have endurance.
I'm the fuel in your ambulance.
To play Jeff, you gotta be smart.
We can't even get scholarships, before anything, there's not even friendship.
You know, I can love you a lot and still forget pity.
Before, I complained a lot, I grew up, I got used to it.
My fee keeps rising, now it's too easy to mess things up.
Middle finger up.
Middle finger up.
Who deserves the honor?
Who deserves the honor?
Who deserves the honor?
