Palmolive

[Verse]

Old school style with a new school delivery

That's how I describe my ability to kill a beat

No I ain't from Wu Tang, but I am a killer, b

Thinking you gon win, you'll end up second place like Hillary

What you think I'm gonna do when I step up in the booth?

Only thing I know how to do, and that's spit the truth

I'm back from basic, now I'm all in on this music, listen

Prove to everyone I made the right decision

Praise the Lord that I kept my mind right

Every day that I was sitting there, I was just daydreaming of the limelight

Had to buy a notebook just to make sure I kept my rhymes tight

Now it's filled with rhythm and poetry, a divine sight

Crime pays, and I'm broke right now

I gotta find a better way to support my child

This UE life got me stressed out, man it's tiring

The worst part is that UPS ain't hiring

Short nigga, tall expectations

And I can't pass em off to the next best waiting

They say the truth is darker than the occult

I say it's true, because I'm finally getting a taste of my life as an adult

I'm nineteen in twenty-five days

And I ain't even got a dime saved

I need to conjure up a plan because I'm running out of time to waste

But they know 40 always find a way

I'm getting better every time I put a pencil to a pad

Know my teachers tripping that I ain't a college grad

I ain't tryna relive any problems that I had

Wanna see my son in 2021, "Look, that's my dad!"

I ain't playing with these niggas no more, bitch I done grew up

They got me out here talking my shit like I done blew up

But I'm a born winner, gotta weather the storm

I bet you I'ma be on everybody playlist this winter; how else they gon' stay warm?

I'm halfway there now, I'm past the point of no return

I feel like flipping the flow so flippantly, bouncing like Flubber

But y'all ain't ready for that boy Trench

You only look the part, but you don't do the job like a toy wrench

Swear the streets is done, yeah they freshly paved

I said I was the one, and they said, "Oh, behave!"

They say I just begun, and I say that ain't true

But it's still a shame if a young nigga better than you

Spitting hard bars since Asians was worried bout SARS and

Cartoons invaded by Martians

Boomeranging out the way like I ain't got a lot to say

Young dreamers looking for a path, I'm tryna pave a way

Callback to what I said about the streets

I'm like the neighborhood Arby's cause I got the beats

And y'all got front row seats to watch 40 grow

Y'all think it's over, I got sixteen more to go

Look, I don't even see what the point is in trying to stop me

I'm not a copy, my mind got the golden touch, A$AP Rocky

I don't mean to sound cocky, but I'm prolly gon' reach the top

East Side is where my mama propped me, seen bodies around me drop

Shoutout to D'mone, cause cuzzo saving me from my faults

Went down that boulevard, he put my ass back on the sidewalk

It's hard to find somebody more real

If you think I'm nice, just wait until he get out, no Jordan Peele

The world is mine, I can see it now

Name in lights, interviews, controversy, all that before evening chow

I may sound crazy now, but trust me, we'll see it occur

Don't focus now, just keep an eye on me like Forest Whitaker

Hear the voices all around like, "You just gotta win, Trae"

I kick it in the stu' cause every dojo need a sensei

I'm just tryna spoil the game like Tom Holland

Squeaky clean flow, call it Palmolive
