Lyrics & Translation

[English]

All you jokers think I'm tripping better think again

He's a cool guy, pool side

Got a, nice ride, far sighted

Car ignited, too excited

And I don't sink in it

He just tryna make the pain go away

Make the fame go away

Cause it's all about now, right now

No past, no future, Lex Luther

But if you got a pass, get up on the stage now, right now

We dance to the music, it's crazy cause all of them sound so the same

You driving them places, you changing them faces

They all know your name right now

Do I look like Scarface? We should go far away

Function on Broadway, I ain't get your call today

Ain't get your call today

They say I'm famous, it's hard to say

Look at the carpet, it's bargain day

That's why I hate when you talk to me

Slurring my words, girl it's burgundy

I know that all of you heard of me

I be that kid that just speaks with his certainty

I got this jewelry on purposely

Just so you know when you work with me

Things can come down in a flurry, see

The cycles, the cycles, I stay on the high note

Just turn on the, turn on the Tycho please

Just came out of cryofreeze

Teeth are bright white so that night can see

Come and get hype with me

Come and get hype with me

Private society, blind, but you try to see

Handle it privately

Why did you lie to me? Why did you, Bruce Lee?

John F. Kennedy, who?

Baby girl, just know your enemies

Baby girl, make sure you 'member me

When I'm not gon' waste my energy

I'm not gon' waste my inner chi

Tryna finish me

Kill a joker with my imagery
