Lyrics

Simba

Yeah
It's Fayettenam nigga
Yeah
It's for the Ville, nigga, uh

Straight out the Ville and I made it
Like a villain I'm hated
I see em grillin' I ate it though
Finna blow - inflatable
That's undebatable, uh, I'm giving niggas
Food for thought, the flow is catered yo
I'm never faded though
Haters wanna see me broke, but me and the dough related, ho
It's like my only son, where I go, he comes
Niggas dumb to be braggin' bout that stupid shit
Nah, I don't stunt on niggas
I show em how to do this shit, I'm somethin' like
Light-skin version of the very same baby
That The Virgin Mary Raised, that's word to e'rything
Nigga, life a scary game but I'm playin', you sucker niggas
Lie in e'rything that you sayin', shame on y'all
You tryna ball with the game on pause
A nigga pull the thing on y'all, y'all stain y'all draw
Fuck you niggas but this ain't raw dawg, I got protection
Lethal weapons and they aim on y'all, I'm like the man on mars
I'm high as hell, watch me blow like I exhaled
I excel in this rap shit 'cause y'all spittin' that wack shit
Now every nigga suddenly be rapping' 'bout that trap shit
So while you nigga copycat the cats that made classics
I just massacre the streets, I'm the master of the beats
And the rhymes, I'm rappin' for the freaks and the dimes
And I shine like a motherfuckin' diamond
You shine like a motherfuckin' dime, That's word to my mom
I don't mind if you niggas hate, just know you hatin'
On that nigga, nigga get it straight, I'm spittin' hungry like
Ain't shit up on my dinner plate, the kind of flow that
Make a nigga hyperventilate, uh, see, let me demonstrate
I grew up with nothin', it hurt me to see my mother poor
The pops a nigga ever seen around was Huxtable
And so the muscle flow is something you can't get no muzzle for
Look how the buzz'll grow, ballin' 'till the buzzer blow
Man, I'm hungry, does it show? Ain't nuttin' funny, fuck a joke
I'm gettin' money 'til my pockets need a tummy tuck, I hope
You niggas woke now, impermanently send you to hell
You meet the devil, sign a permanent lease, word on the streets

Is I'm the prince nigga check the splendor, and I can't wait
To be the king, nigga: Young Simba, word on the streets
Is I'm the prince nigga check the splendor, and I can't wait
To be the king, nigga: Young Simba, nigga, yeah

Uh uh
It's for the Ville nigga
It's for the real niggas
Yeah
J Cole nigga
It's uh uh
The Come Up nigga
