Yeah, I'm just motherfuckin in the studio and shit...

Trying to let all these people out there know more about my nigga

Yameen, yo, to all that don't know, tell these motherfuckas where you from, yo

But yo, motherfuckin, I've been checkin out, you know, this "Stop Being Greedy" shit

I'm hearing like two people!

This shit is really complicated

I'm not-I'm not a regular nigga when it comes to a flow, ya'meen?

Is like we all got 2 sides, ya'meen?

Uhm

It depends on what side of the bed you wake up on

That would dep-that would depend on who you gon be for that day, ya'meen?

Sometimes you wake up on some bullshit

Sometimes you wake up like "Yo, it's lovely outside, things are good"

And you gon be that nigga for the day, ya'meen?

Uhm

But... There's always 2 sides, dog, ya'meen?

And that's what's that "Stop Being Greedy" it's all about

It's like I'm showin niggas 2 sides

Uhm

I-i-i-it's like, you-you-you touchin on these rap cats out here

You know what I'm sayin, all these niggas. all these niggas out here, you know...

I'm tellin niggas to stop being greedy! Ya'meen?

I been doin this shit for while, yo!

Right

For mad years, yo!

Uhm

Ya'meen, and... it's like, you know, closing the door

You know, so it's like "yo, stop being greedy, man!

You know, Ima bite you! Stop being greedy!

You know, don't make me take the food!"

You know? Everyday...

Right, right...

And-and how-how's-how-how's-how's the rhyme-how's the rhyme go?

Matter fact, matter fact!

Ima hit you like this

Cuz this-this-this, ya'meen

And then you will can see what's it all about

Ya'meen, for that "Stop Being Greedy" joint

Two sides, ya'meen?

This is the cool nigga, you know, the positive nigga:

"I could flip that flow, I could stick that hoe

I could get that dough, you know I'm with that, yo

Anything about the shit I came thru

I haven't seen

But when it gets dark

It's like a nigga's having dreams."

Having dreams

Then is that bad nigga

"All nightmares, the light dares to desert me

Got me like 'Everybody wants to hurt me'

Paranoid, so I strike out at whatever

Closest thing to me is gon get it, but never!"

Ya'meen, so it's like

You see the confrontation of the good and the bad

And when you hear the beat change

You hear the personally change

Uhm
