THE ANSWER

[Verse]

Fuck you and your handshake, both you and your mans fake

I'm puttin' out a mandate that dictates that you acknowledge what y'all call the culture

It's just one big mandate

And y'all posturin' in cahoots on some toxic shit

Faux oxygen, y'all don't breathe the same as I do

Can't be the same as y'all, son, I tried to

Used to box me out, now they try to box me in

Find someone else to lie to

Might pull up in a jersey with a profound context

And drink until it's blurry, and think all in a hurry

Stop tellin' me I'm on next, I'm better than 'em all right now

And me sayin' that is like me on Hot 97, just a calm flex

That got a million viеws, but they all flex

You might not have seen it, but thеy all slept

Used to say I wanna do arenas, but I've long since left that as my MO

Like I still do, but not at the expense of my concepts

Big boss, y'all better pay y'all rent

You know I fuck with consent, but fuck a message that a con sent, my shit is God-sent

Speak the essence, what's a comment?

Craft just got here, where the calm went?

Nowadays they look at you like you speakin' nonsense when you call nonsense nonsense

I'm offended and I ain't need no offense, God bless

I had to take a bar off

They made their record, changed it 'cause they had to take a scar off

I bleed on each track

It's game on with my deepest, darkest, I don't do the call-offs

I be makin' shots that I called off

If I hit the rim, then that shit don't count

We really do the work, go and get your clout

But just don't ever fix your mouth

Don't say you do it like us or we'll fix your mouth

Pause, fuck it, rewind and play

Y'all still on lil' kid shit, what are we tryna say?

I could really use some me time today

But there's a rapper need killin' somewhere, so I'm on the grind today

They like, "So-and-so got it"

I'm like, "Please, child's play"

When you are the way, you don't gotta find a way
