Masked Wolf

Ayy

...

Let's go fishing

This shit here might reel you in

I'm back to my business, no lack of addiction

I'm used to dark and I'm Batman, I'm chillin'

I be in that Batmobile

You can do caps and pills

All that I did, nothing was planted

Something like daffodils

Ain't nobody gon' test me (word)

Mirror gon' show who the best be

I was writing them hooks, when nothing was right

That's when they left me

Let's play a game

Truth or dare

I dare you to tell the truth

When I was down and out

I was at the back like a boot

Ice in my veins, nothing has changed

Surgin' through flames

Breaking down walls, the white walker

I oughta show you where to draw the line like borders

I slaughter anything in my path

You need help with your flow like raft

See I craft every little piece of it

A genius with no genes in it

They told me I ain't good enough

See I speak the truth, no bluffs

But I just stick to it like pucks

I don't need no joins like cuffs

Don't make me turn to a shooter

Could get right on point like Bermuda

Picking up everything looter

Solo when I cruise through the night

Top down, time to improvise

They can all see it in my eyes

I'ma take it all like a thief in the night

Solo when I cruise through the night

Tires burn, there's smoke in the lights

Right turn, left turn, no brakes

Take it all like a thief in the night

Solo when I cruise through the night

Top down, time to improvise

They can all see it in my eyes

I'ma take it all like a thief in the night

Solo when I cruise through the night

Tires burn, there's smoke in the lights

Right turn, left turn, no brakes

Take it all like a thief in the night

Have you ever stared death in the face?

Meant to say in the mirror trying to shave

I got a tendency to misbehave

Rather seek forgiveness rather then permission

Hunger, ambition

Make you not friendly

Pulling all the strings, no guitar with me

Over big sea, receiving big shipment

Dodging penitentiary

Bogatâ, with it, sober saw, with it

How the bar lifted, foreign car, drippin'

Never know breaking, only downshifting

I don't get tired, did I not mention

Greater transmission, stand on my pivot

I don't play chicken, even if I did

I am not flinching, ooh

Diamond link each chain

My lil' bitty B hang

Every time the beat bang

Her little booty meat swing

Been retarded, ammunition sprayin'

I'm not pressure washing

Rapper salty, come here! This your shot

Now go fetch a coffin

Put it together, irregular stepping

I've been trying to tell them, this Maison Margiela

Man will get extra when I'm in their presence

No flattering, no complementative gestures

Everything they do, they got it from Kevin

Louis bandanna, I'm flexing my sweaters

Applying the bricks in the Mexican kettle

Strap on the watch with the elegant bezel

If only you knew, better you would do better

I'm flyer than one of them pelican feathers

Solo when I cruise through the night

Top down, time to improvise

They can all see it in my eyes

I'ma take it all like a thief in the night

Solo when I cruise through the night

Tires burn, there's smoke in the lights

Right turn, left turn, no brakes

Take it all like a thief in the night

Solo when I cruise through the night

Top down, time to improvise

They can all see it in my eyes

I'ma take it all like a thief in the night

Solo when I cruise through the night

Tires burn, there's smoke in the lights

Right turn, left turn, no brakes

Take it all like a thief in the night
