Lyrics

Raspy

[Verse 1]

Ma, the way you huggin' on me, it's a problem

The fuck you tryna end up in the gossip column?

I know I got jewels like I'm the pharoah of the ghetto

But we are and it's a bright-ass shiny Carerra

Stickin' your feet out the window so they can see your stillettos

Cost a thousand dollars, same as your housing holla

Not to mention the wrist and the thirty thousand collar

Pussy must be good, he's victim to your power

Shit, nigga like me? I would never allow it

Spit that shit to me, I would ask you, "Have you showered?"

You wanna get up in my boat and ride

Take pictures with the kid up in Ocean Drive

Go to Casa Tua and just sip on Calouas

At the bar, talkin' to other women about the best jewelers

You like that, huh? Smilin' still, call your girlfriend (Why?)

You fell asleep at the wheel

[Chorus]

Don't try to come up on my ear talkin all that raspy shit, raspy shit

Don't try to come up on my ear talkin' all that raspy shit, raspy shit

Don't try to come up on my ear talkin' all that raspy shit, raspy shit

And don't try to come up on my ear talkin' all that raspy shit

Tryna ask me shit, c'mon

[Verse 2]

Ayo, I walk in brashest, certainly the crassest

The restaurant's classes, the owner is asses

Shit, my money green like the helmet of a fascist

So what you want – Patron or Petrucia glasses?

Ain't no mystery, his daughter know the history

And every night we toast like it's victory, get with me

And I ain't changed since my early mental

I been snackin' on shrimp and sippin' on Shirley Temples

No drug to drinkin' – what you want?

No, seriously, what you thinkin'? Since the Yukon

Never puffed a J, you can ask Loushawn

Back when he pushed beige like it was coupons

With a house full of dames like it was Moulin

I would ask they names, but they would only do Sean

And I ain't sayin they regret it, but fuck it, they do

'Cause if they could reverse time, nigga

What would they do, huh?

[Chorus]

Don't try to come up on my ear talkin all that raspy shit, raspy shit

Don't try to come up on my ear talkin' all that raspy shit, raspy shit

Don't try to come up on my ear talkin' all that raspy shit, raspy shit

And don't try to come up on my ear talkin' all that raspy shit

Tryna ask me shit, c'mon

[Verse 3]

Honeys Panamanian, eyes like Iranian

Lighter than the blue of the sky of the day we in

Ass like a volleyball, the kind that make your dick hard

Head to the hustlers, so sweet she could get cars

Now she here with me, lil' Skateboard P

Cheaper than the sound of a bird that chirps

I spit, then I hit, then I murk, yessir

A flick chico stick and a Twix, that's her

She admire how the champion live

How I signed Slim Thug with a ramp in my crib

I'm a champion, I do as the champions did

Except I improve with the new and the rest get rid

But some of y'all don't like that, it's easy tryna bite back

Instead of sayin' hi, gettin' fly, but I'll be right back

My dude got the steel if you think you fly

Shoot the wings off your ego and watch you skydive, yessir

[Chorus]

Don't try to come up on my ear talkin all that raspy shit, raspy shit

Don't try to come up on my ear talkin' all that raspy shit, raspy shit

Don't try to come up on my ear talkin' all that raspy shit, raspy shit

And don't try to come up on my ear talkin' all that raspy shit

Tryna ask me shit, c'mon
