Sumthin feels dodgy, in da back of a Challenger Searchin for purpose, life turn me to a scavenger Holy Grail, true love, 'tis a small world, real big lies Went mad when I found potatoes inside my meat pie I stand on business, rock a suit and a neat tie Silk stockings fetish, wear 'em knee high Niggas cuttin corners to get to da cheese You ask 'em da secret, they say God did Four weeks, now the pain's dulled, backaches Like I still don't know how I got these Swipe past a hater like a wack comment Birds drop from da sky like a bad omen Ptyalin, I really been spittin for days Staten Island, been writin bars for days 8-ball, rack 'em, yunno I want stacks for days Tryna hustle me and get scarce for days And that's on period, uh, da flow so sick Nigga outta pads for days I been in my pad for days What's today's date, really lost track of days She want a date, she want us be more than friends Tryna get the commas, tryna get out da ends Diggin all my life, lost some teeth and nails When we connive, we don't kiss and tell When we go live, we don't diss and yell They say, be a man, but I'm also human The cross so heavy, even Jesus fell Uh, I got baddies hatin on me Real talk, niggas really bettin on me Gotta get it quick, mama waitin on me One foot at a time, lotta weight on me Poke a bear, or go kick a pup, but Don't wake the demon up Always on my lonely, need no teamin' up We throwin bands, you do the throwin up Yeah, yeah, uh, yeah We been underdogs for long From now on, we just wanna live it up
