Lyrics

Ace

[Intro]

'Cause I'ma ace, I'ma ace

I'ma, I'ma, I'ma, I'ma, I'ma ace

I'ma ace, I'ma ace (ace-ace-ace-ce-ce-ce)

I'ma ace, I'ma ace

I'ma, I'ma, I'ma, I'ma, I'ma ace

I'ma ace, I'ma ace (ace-ace-ace-ce-ce-ce)

[Verse 1]

We back in town baby, we riding 'round baby

We keep our voices low, don't make a sound baby

I guess the world was wrong, we, we still standing strong

I guess pretty white boys can make good music after all

[Pre-Chorus]

Bureaucrats, putting me on the map

Gotta live a life that keeps mе in their trap

Six foot white male, put mе down in a book

But tonight my ancestors snatch back what they took

(oh woah, yeah)

[Chorus]

There goes my baby, she's looking at me

It's time to make a move (oh woah, yeah)

I'm feeling lucky, this clock can't touch me

It's time to blow the roof (oh yeah)

'Cause I'ma ace, I'ma ace (yeah)

I'ma, I'ma, I'ma, I'ma, I'ma ace

I'ma ace (yeah), I'ma ace (ace-ace-ace-ce-ce-ce)

I'ma ace, I'ma ace

I'ma, I'ma, I'ma, I'ma (yeah), I'ma ace

I'ma ace, I'ma ace (ace-ace-ace-ce-ce-ce)

[Verse 2]

After her, do you know, did you miss the memo?

Now your robots dont adhere to this stereotypical

Hypothetical, theoretical, classifications so damn critical

Kid walks in, can't see straight

He tramps ritalin, calls him a freak

[Pre-Chorus]

Bureaucrats, putting me on the map

Gotta live a life that keeps me in their trap

Six foot white male, put me down in a book

But tonight my ancestors snatch back what they took

(oh yeah)

[Chorus]

There goes my baby, she's looking at me

It's time to make a move (oh woah, yeah)

I'm feeling lucky, this clock can't touch me

It's time to blow the roof (oh yeah)

'Cause I'ma ace, I'ma ace (yeah)

I'ma, I'ma, I'ma, I'ma, I'ma ace

I'ma ace (yeah), I'ma ace (ace-ace-ace-ce-ce-ce)

I'ma ace, I'ma ace

I'ma, I'ma, I'ma, I'ma (yeah), I'ma ace

I'ma ace, I'ma ace (ace-ace-ace-ce-ce-ce)

'Cause I'ma ace, I'ma ace

I'ma, I'ma, I'ma, I'ma, I'ma ace

I'ma ace, I'ma ace-ace-ace-ce (yeah)

[Verse 3]

You bigwhigs marketing to the wrong demographic

We ain't plastic dolls that fit into your cubbyhole

You haters make it sound to be

Whole white trash, a middle class

Too much cash, ignore the rest

It's a field test, like one's the best

It's one big mess, like a chess board match (chess board match)

Now I'ma ace and you know that

I'm not ashamed 'cause they're all fast

Got another, tryna' hit that

I get on this stage and you clap

All this time, trying to ------ my head

Tell me officer, I'm like a lyricist

Give it to the doctor, gonna be read

All you aces listen to what I said

[Bridge]

There goes our baby (yeah), she's looking at me (yeah)

It's time to make a move (yeah)

[Chorus/Outro]

I'm feeling lucky, this luck can't touch me

It's time to blow the roof (oh yeah)

'Cause I'ma ace, I'ma ace (yeah)

I'ma, I'ma, I'ma, I'ma, I'ma ace

I'ma ace (yeah), I'ma ace (ace-ace-ace-ce-ce-ce)

I'ma ace, I'ma ace

I'ma, I'ma, I'ma, I'ma (yeah), I'ma ace

I'ma ace, I'ma ace (ace-ace-ace-ce-ce-ce)

'Cause I'ma ace, I'ma ace

I'ma, I'ma, I'ma, I'ma, I'ma ace

I'ma ace, I'ma ace-ace-ace-ce (yeah)
