[English]

Yo-yo
I was talking to my mom the other day
And she was tryna give me advice
About everything that's going on since shit
And I get so lost in my motherfuckin' head
And I be think-
I tried to turn it into somethin'
Tried to turn it into something like
A few bars
Let's hear me out, hear me out, hear me out, it's a'ight
Yo, yo (yeah), yo, yo
I know I gotta be (come on)
More like RZA be (come on, come on)
My momma asking me (woo)
"Ian, why don't you keep the band together?" (Woo)
I know it's hard, but keep the band together (come on)
Me and your dad were fighting, we stayed together (come on, come on)
Even once we split, we stayed together (woo, woo)
Be like your mom and keep the fam' together
All of the songs where I dissed my mom
Helped me help her stay in her home
Now I'm finna lose my home
So never diss where you come from
I gotta be the American flag
Texas where I'm from, got the drums in my bag
Bum-bidi-bum-bidi-bum-bidi-bum
Bum-bidi-bum-bidi-bum-bidi-bum
Mom, I'm feeling new, my hate for you is through
The things that we went through
I wish that I could do it all over again
Even all by myself, 'cause now I've lost my friends
But I fuck with myself, and
This is what I do whenever I feel excited
This is for my people outside who ain't invited
This is what I do whenever I feel excited
I love it, I love it, I love it, oh-oh-oh
