Mum says "Shit, you want to cry, I'll give you somethin' to cry about"
And since then I held my mouth
I put my pen to the pad like your boy put that knife to his mouth
Like run me your moan 'bout now
I put pride to the side and I leave it
We been grindin' but no one wants the fees in
I invest it right back, I ain't eatin'
The fruit ain't fully formed yet, what you reapin'?
You wanna make bangers for now, aight, cool
I'm tryna make songs that my children's children'll feel
I'm talkin' 'bout legacy
I'm talkin' like grandfather's properties, Lagos to London
You're buggin' me, empty buildings once were luxury
My mum was raised rich, that shit bothers me
Good grinders, hotel, I'm talkin' them kinda Ps, ooh
Cain and Abel I guess
Product of privilege, I'm gassed and I'm pressed
Embrace your culture, look, I'm black and I'm blessed
And pray for your ends 'cause the hood is a mess
And pray for your friends 'cause life can be stress
Sometimes I gotta take a breath sometimes
And I gotta protect and invest how I spend my time
But I wanna have fun and I wanna dress cute
And I wanna enjoy my youth
Time is money, so let's not waste it
You wanna conversate while I'm tryna get a payslip
I don't buy no Gucci or no Balmain
It takes too much of my change
Like how am I supposed to build an empire
If I'm spendin' every nickel and dime on attire?
Mr. I drive a Porsche but you don't pay child support
That's more money, more days in court
A couple of you girls are shocking
I hope them red bottoms support you when you hit rock bottom
Spendin' cash that you don't have
Link to your mixtapes but they don't bang
Onomatopoeia, man
I'm so impolite, but it's needed
You're eatin' the lies that they're feeding
You love it like a fat kid love cake
I wear a short skirt, therefore it means rape
Rah, explain that logic to me 'cause I don't get it
It's like half of these guys stuntin' 'bout their income
Babes, they just don't get it
Get it, unless it's that student loan money, uh
Then we both get it
See, my mum told me to live by my means
And I mean to be a millionaire without a
Yeah, too scared, the pills is no fun
I grab for my pen, they grab guns
They run through the 6 with their woes
I run through South East on my own
I like leather jackets and black skirts
I can't ever suck dick to get heard
'Cause he's always tryna get his before hers
And always tryna get on the track, they can't verse
I'm just keepin' it real 'cause they won't
Don't go and ask your bredrens, they know
Don't go and ask your bredrens, they know
They know you can't flow, but still let you go
It's peak, I just deeped it, don't keep it up
I cannot keep in touch, I'm in my own
Yeah, I'm in my own
I've always been way too nice
And I've had people takin' the piss out of it
Until you gotta flip that switch
And now they're gonna see a brand new side of the kid
I went out on a limb for certain
Came back a amputee for certain
That's a old chapter, let me pull that curtain
Tell 'em pause, hold the applause
All Que Black girl in the house
