[English]

No need to brag, but I knew that I was built for this

I know now that most men would kill for this

Seamlessly, I walk around infamous

Probably 'cause I am the alchemist

Learned to love, I'm not like the tin man

I am Sensei Jones with a vengeance

Reeking, reeking, they ain't shower since last weekend

I don't think you practice what you preaching

Sucker

It feels good

Don't need no harm, this for shits and giggles

My taxes in on time

Alright, alright (on time), alright, alright, ah, ah

Living a good life, we living a good life

Bitch, we go super crazy for the backend

He know now that I give a backhand

Back out on a boat, catch a spray tan

Ayy, man, I could dive from the deep end (tweak, tweak)

Ah, fuck (tweak, tweak, tweak, tweak)

Papa made a young pimp, I'm outside

Southside, tote a shank, I'ma up rank

Lemonade pink seats in a fish tank

Up on my cloud

My feet don't touch the ground

Don't try to shoot me down

I'm only a human

It's my first go 'round in this thing
