SALT

[Verse 1]

Follow my thoughts and dreams

It felt like I never accomplished things (Things)

Only goal I ever really had was just to get me a shot in the league (Shot)

Lookin' at friends, it's competition if you not on my team (Not on my team)

Number checkin' like a statistician when I'm not in the league (When I'm not in the league)

All my decisions are habit-driven, tryna get the machine to turn off (Shh)

I can see a cinematic vision, but they not blockin' the scene like the cops (Whoop)

Ain't involvеd behind the closed door with a lock in thе key, it's a box (What's in the box?)

That's why I'm keepin' the secret ingredient, that's why I'm keepin' the sauce

[Hook]

Shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet

Sugar look a lot like salt

Shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet

Sugar look a lot like salt

Shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet

Sugar look a lot like salt

Shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet

Sugar look a lot like salt

[Bridge]

You know that shit ain't sweet

You know that shit ain't sweet

[Verse 2]

All of that whinin' and bitchin'

I told you to shut up respectfully

You should be mindin' yo' business

But you couldn't do it professionally

I write it, record it, and mix it

It's sort of like whippin' a recipe

So when I get in the kitchen

You know I be cheffin' the specialty

I'm in my element, gettin' jiggy with the gelatin

It's not an album, it's a cookbook

It should top the Time's Best Sellin' list

They wonder how I'm still hungry like I'm playin' Power Forward for the Pelicans

Five years in Columbus, but you know the white boy's not settlin'

The white boy got so tuned, when'd the white boy get melanin?

You can't name one white boy this white boy's not better than

Not even Eminem—okay, maybe Eminem

But then again, I mean the old Eminem, no later than 2010

Yeah, I'm cookin' like Emeril Lagasse

They wanna look like me, sound like me, call 'em my offspring

Y'all like some rubber chicken Rick Ross wings

Not even saucy

I might go double-dip 'em in the frosty

'Cause y'all so goddamn salty

[Hook]

Shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet

Sugar look a lot like salt

Shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet

Sugar look a lot like salt

Shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet

Sugar look a lot like salt

Shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet

Sugar look a lot like salt

[Outro]

You know that shit ain't sweet

Sugar look a lot like salt

You know that shit ain't sweet

Sugar look a lot like salt
