Lyrics & Translation

[English]

...

Our proceeds to my chain.

Yeah, yeah.

Should have never gave them niggas no money.

We was in the store, man, but we ain't want nothing.

Cuz we was broke, nah, nigga ain't fronting.

No more.

No more.

Should have never gave them niggas no money.

We was in the store, man, but we ain't want nothing.

Cuz we was broke, nah, nigga ain't fronting.

No more.

Yeah, yeah.

My mentality's a tapestry. Ain't it, if I could paint it, it'd be too heavy to hang it from the nail in the wall, dangerously dangling.

Sick with the language of speaking Pangal and down at the animal maw.

He who answered the call, the most canceled rapper who rapping never happened to fall.

One of some Lulus like max with tapping. Take them off the track and lap them. I see the devil clapping his claws.

But this what happens after a clause. If rapping was black, call it rapping from the back of a brawl.

The style of rapping is all padding and pause. Still a one man class action trapped in his cause.

Yeah.

Be focused. Keep grinding. Follow the mission. Don't stop until you get there.

When you think you're there, keep going. Keep grinding. Hussle.

I'm a different type of nigga, fulfilled.

Say the word, nigga, is a trigger, so chill.

I'm like, why keep, nigga, concealed? This white people still using the word nigga for real.

Never ignorant, genuine, genius appeals. Consistently hearing it thrills.

Yeah.

I'm from a lyrical, miracle, biblical guild, a great white clearance skills.

The nearest mirror of skill.

Somewhere between Jazz, Jiga and drill.

Mine is all the niggas it kills.

Right before they finished their wills.

A healthy menace told the dentist, I eat Splinter spinach and pills for life.

Playing with David Blaine on a commercial flight.

First class rolling the dice. This for my chain.

All donations I appreciate it.

I'm put the pen down but the location was abbreviated.

To briefly state that's briefly state, but we still a part.

I was to split was so congenial. It's like the voices were mediated high.

Drift to genetics till it's speciated.

But variables in my data set and then I deviated.

It's miracles in the data set. It's like I D B A is T D Jakes without a CPA.

I used to CTA a Ferrari from an hobby from his car.

Can't believe he made it target hated feeling like a star of David where they GDK it.

Independent thinker, I should see the baby.

Feet covered in tinker.

Promise to self no longer reference the Matrix and stay away from fake shit.

Cuz in a flash, they'll turn on the clutch just like blinkers.

These are the other hazards. I just part of the work.

Reverse Aztec put my heart in the verse. The one man half dash carved and burnt. Yeah.

Rockefeller, y'all.

Yeah.

Impediments to random egotistical elephant in the room.

Looking for something heaven sent, like his medicine in the womb.

On intelligence.

In the heaviness of a tune, I'm a chant song way. 30 pounds for every an Trage, so the playlist will still be heavy as a spaceship on a spaceship, even though it's weightless.

Bomb full of plates so a waitress weightless with every single an trage.

Con trade with what the pawn says, swan slave with every conve.

If words are rocks, birds and flocks, stop. That's not the chest or experts. That's a straight rookie move.

To get close to the dose I fed them bread first. Jaded, so disintegrated and inundated.

With every image that I was finished and a state us to an inner stage. So I insulated into basements.

Now the minute from the meeting from my mind, where my mind look like a minister mixed with Dennis to minister.

Made it, baited, beat it, baked it and ate it. Gracious me, my engine is save the most sacred of it and Abet more.

I can sell money to the poor, a pyramid to a mummy.

They even pay attention, even when they ignore.

My compulsive indecision made addition into a chore.

Is it two plus two, just two twos or is it four?

If I got a calculator, what's the point of even keeping score?

That's not allowed when you test it.

So I added it all up, they just trying to slow us down like instruments in Texas.

Our proceeds to my necklace.

Rockefeller, y'all.

Rockefeller, y'all.

Proceeds to my chain.

Should have never gave them niggas no money.

We was in the store, man, but we ain't want nothing.

Cuz we was broke, nah, nigga ain't fronting.

No more.

No more.

Should have never gave them niggas no money.

We was in the store, man, but we ain't want nothing.

Cuz we was broke, nah, nigga ain't fronting.

No more.

Yeah.
