Sippin' my kombucha on a rooftop

Smokin' blue dream on my kamasutra

Life is but a dream for a dark skin bitch like me

Life gets dark when you're dark like me

Times get hard with a heart this big

Mouths get fed when your ass this thick

Count my sheep and I catch my z's

I don't read y'all tweets, I delete y'all threads

Don't need weed to be 10 feet tall

I don't need keys when I knock down walls

Been pushin' p since bathroom stalls

Why sell my soul when I know I'm god?

I be in the back levitatin', doin' meditation, hear me, girl, get up

Takin' on all confrontation, fuck a limitation, hear me, girl, get up

Somehow I know that I'll have everything, it's mine, mine, mine

Like, da, da-da, da, da-da

All that industry plant shit whack

I see it on the blogs, I see you in the chats

You suck every rap n*gga dick from the back

But what's the agenda when the it-girl black?

Y'all can't fathom that I work this hard

And y'all can't fathom that I earned this chart

Y'all can't stand my vibe 'cause I'm anointed

All y'all evil ass hoes just annoyin'

Blame it on the fame, blame it on the coke

Blame it on the d'usse, got you feelin' low

Y'all wanna believe I'm on drugs and forsaken

They won't credit me so they blame it on satan

Blame it on my label, blame it on my team

End of the day, everything is on me

Miss bag lady, little messiah, little miss hire them hoes then fire them

Mm, I be in the back levitatin', doin' meditation, hear me, girl, get up

Takin' on all confrontation, fuck a limitation, hear me, girl, get up

Somehow I know that I'll have everything, it's mine, mine, mine

They callin' me the intellect, amongst the pussy rap

I still be poppin' pussy, them my sisters, so I can't agree with that

These n*ggas misogynistic, I'll address it on the album

For now, let's sink into the fact that hate don't make you powerful

Y'all monitorin' spirits, go monitor that checkbook

Fashion week was radical, diamonds what my neck took

Tried to turn the other cheek but y'all just too damn extra

I had to take it to the stu' and show these n*ggas pressure

Father forgive 'em, they gon' be hurt when I deliver

The album 6 months old and need a fuckin' babysitter

I did 8 years of failin' plus a lot of cold winters

Used to be a starvin' artist, now I want the whole dinner

Bitch, I want my things

Nissan to a bentley coupe, fuck you mean?

Got a cosign from k dot

She's baby keem

God, keep me from the bitterness

Help me reach the masses, all the black women gon' feel this shit

Mm, I be in the back levitatin', doin' meditation, hear me, girl, get up

Takin' on all confrontation, fuck a limitation, hear me, girl, get up

Somehow I know that I'll have everything, it's mine, mine, mine
