(Fatboi)

[Chorus]

Spliff while smokin' the ganja

And go under, I can see it

I'm foggin' up the window

Skully, crack it

I can't breathe

I sneaky with the women, not gon' wonder, "Why she leave?"

Bitch, I push out two in a tally coupe (Coupe)

SD5, and it's tactic, too (Too)

What? You think that all this time was cool? (Go)

In a cell where killers smoke K2 (Go)

I'm the same lil' nigga, look how I grew (Grew)

I been movin' ahead, they ain't catchin' a clue (Clue)

I been too far ahead and these millions here proof (Top)

Tell that nigga I'm—, yeah (What?)

When I point it, they shoot (Skrrt, skrrt)

I'm hurtin', but I'm on it, and I mean they gon' notice

I'm smokin' on ganja, I gotta stay loaded (Gotta gеt loaded)

I'ma pour up a 5, then I'm comin' alive

Evеry thing with the side, you know that I code it (You know that)

I'ma pray to the flag

On a flight with the guys

All the 5s in the skies, you know that they coach me (Coach me)

Lost my head when grandma died

I sat and cried soon as they told me

Lean, lean (Mmm), kill the pain

I swear all the water make it go away

I stepped in the rain, and then, since then, it been the same

All this shit, it brought me pain (Uh), I thought to find another lane

I stayed up 'cause I thought you was comin' over (Oh)

These times around, it start remindin' me of the old ones (Oh, ones)

This shit for you, but, look, who knew? You don't even notice me

I thought I proved that you was the one I only wanted

Go tell 'em Skully murder shit, it's gon' go down about me

I'm the one who only act like I don't notice

Want me go home, but I been hustlin', I wasn't plannin' on leavin'

I wonder, one day, if she found another (Oh)

Spliff while smokin' the ganja

And go under, I can see it

I'm foggin' up the window

Skully, crack it

I can't breathe

I sneaky with the women, not gon' wonder, "Why she leave?"

[Post-Chorus]

I been sleepin' with the money, you could smell it out my jeans (Ah)

Sleepin' with the money, chase it, gala runnin' over (Ah)

Smokin' on the ganja, my lil' soda fallin' over (Ah)

Come straight from the concrete with the K wrapped on the shoulder (Ah)

Bandana on the Glock, she probably think I'm from Magnolia

[Verse 2]

You was sleep when I got in, don't wake back up (Up)

It ain't like that I ain't think 'bout that at all, I was wrong

I been all night in my feelings and you might not like this song

I had bought you some Essentials, and some bracelets made by Chrome, uh

Citgo gas out, like headphone

Double R named Lizzo

I done had two loaders of my Lyzo

You gon' hear me through the headphones 'fore I pop up out that window

She want me to get her loaded, but I'm rollin' and that kick strong (Bomp, bomp, bomp)

Too many, havin' mansion like Soulja (Bomp, bomp, bomp)

Gettin' full of that dirty, headin' over, 5 (B-Bomp, bomp, bomp)

Barely can't help me, but just tell me that you notice (Brr-dah, brr-dah, bomp, bomp)

Rasta, go take the chopper, about the Dada, blow it

[Chorus]

Spliff while smokin' the ganja

And go under, I can see it

I'm foggin' up the window

Skully, crack it

I can't breathe

I sneaky with the women, not gon' wonder, "Why she leave?"

[Post-Chorus]

I been sleepin' with the money, you could smell it out my jeans (Ah)

Sleepin' with the money, chase it, gala runnin' over (Ah)

Smokin' on the ganja, my lil' soda fallin' over (Ah)

Come straight from the concrete with the K wrapped on the shoulder (Ah-ah)

Bandana on the Glock, she probably think I'm from Magnolia
