Lyrics

Small Talk

[Intro]

Wow, that's crazy

Really? Wow

(Oh my god, oh my god) Yeah

Wow, that's crazy

Really? Wow

(Shut the fuck up, okay?)

[Verse 1]

Winter comin' my money gone

I got no idea where it went

Had to do the feature just to float

Needed twelve fifty for the rent

I can't sign right now

I hate givin' up percent

I like to bet on myself

That's just money well spent

[Chorus]

There's a lot of people that I know

Not a lot of people that I like

They say this is my year

I say you motherfuckin' right

I already said it once

Please don't make me say it twice

I'm not here to make friends

I'm too goddamn nice

I'm not pickin' up the phone

I'm not textin' y'all back

I'm 'bout to get a new number

I'm not here to chit chat

No small talk, no small talk, please

No small talk, no no small talk, please

[Verse 2]

Feel like the universe testin' me, I just be guessin' I fill in the blank

Finally got money to fill up the tank

I'ma Carlton dance when I fill up the banks

Feel like the universe testin' me, I just be guessin' I fill in the bubble

Bet if I study my score will be double but I'm good at cheatin', I won't get in trouble

Shawty a tutor, I love the medulla

She be on me more than a phone and computer

If she want direction, I come over shoot her

But I still don't trust her like Metro and Future

Watchin' the Hawks and the Clippers I feel like a hooper in socks with the slippers

Evan just got me the tickets, I'm way off the liquor I'm probably ridiculous

Causin' a scene on the bench, ooh

Look like the team on the tents, yeah

Look like the type that'll cheat on his wife, get the mistress a 300 Benz

I'm not your friend, I'm not your guy, but you get offended if I don't reply

I wanna tell you to leave me alone, but I'm too goddamn nice

[Chorus]

There's a lot of people that I know

Not a lot of people that I like

They say this is my year

I say you motherfuckin' right

I already said it once

Please don't make me say it twice

I'm not here to make friends

I'm too goddamn nice

I'm not pickin' up the phone

I'm not textin' y'all back

I'm 'bout to get a new number

I'm not here to chit chat

No small talk, no small talk, please

No small talk, no no small talk, please
