Riding through Philly, she asks, where is Uzi

Your man's in a hot box, that's a hoochie

Wanna go to the telly, she a groupie

Interior all vanilla like a smoothie

Smoking on good Runtz, like a doobie

In a Wraith, rolling up

Can't see nobody, got curtains

I see it, I like it, I'm splurging

I'm a big boss, dog, I earned it

Hit the dash, you know I'm swerving

Don't at me, meet in person

I told her to leave this urgent

I did that shit on purpose (Huh, yeah)

Shawty wanna fuck with me

Everything is not what it seems

Tried to let you live out your dreams

Run it up, now you want one

Forget the past, that's done

Living life like The Weeknd

Karate chop all my demons (Doo-doo-doo, pow)

Get out the way, I feel like Lil Wayne, where my drank

I feel like Tony Hawk when I skate

I got a plug, met him in the Bay

I was down bad just the other day

You ain't hear me out, I still made a way

I keep my faith high when I pray

Niggas ain't got bars, they be fake

This off top, no pen, no pape'

This off smoke no fucking vape

This that take yo' breath away

This that make the world shake

This that make the earthquake

Real one since my birthday

That fake shit I can't tolerate

I'ma walk right in the crowd and I'ma jump over the gates

They ain't tell me I could do it but I did it anyway

Bitch, I'm a rockstar, fuck the rules

I make my own anyway

Live in my own world, I can't see you

It's just me in here today (Okay)

Okay

(I'm tryna rage)

(I'm tryna go, I'm tryna rage, okay)

(I'm tryna go, I'm tryna rage)

(I'm tryna go, I'm tryna rage)

(I'm tryna go, I'm tryna rage)

Okay
