Shell Fish

[Intro: Ransom & Conway the Machine]

Yeah, I gotta talk to y'all man

Aye, dawg, turn that shit up

Who better, who better than us to give you that chaos, man?

Man, these other niggas, ah

I don't know, them other niggas, man

Niggas gotta read the room, man, heh

Look

[Verse 1: Conway the Machine]

I was up trappin' all night, I got a sleep disorder (I was outside)

Sellin' everything for twenties like a Yeezy order (Hahaha)

This black seed had oils like a Dr. Sebi order (Ha)

My man got a box of Fenty, not the RiRi order (Talk to 'em)

My bitch drippin', Fendi wrist, Fiji water ('Kay)

My blick in my jeans if shit is seemin' awkward (Uh-huh)

The hood been sayin' I'm selfish, yeah, I've seen it brought up

But when I needed them niggas, I ain’t recеive a quarter (Fuck them niggas)

Pеnthouse in Vegas, sixty-first floor

'Bout to go onstage and perform like it's the first tour (I'm still hungry)

This the shit I work for (Huh?) used to get the work raw (Huh?)

The Machine and Ransom together, this gon' hurt more (Woo)

Look, I earned everything I got, no handovers

You ever seen a soul leave a body while you stand over? (Talk)

Ever tie somebody momma up like, "Hand them grams over?" (Ah)

I might post a pic on the Gram (Hahaha) two hundred bands on me like (Look at me, nigga)

[Chorus: Ransom & Conway the Machine]

Why they callin' a nigga selfish? (Huh?)

Champagne on the jet (Yeah) linguini made to be fresh

Duck breast and assorted shell fish (Muah)

I know them haters felt it (Yeah) surprised I ran, dealt it

You gotta live while you can and then die when you can't help it (Ah)

They call a nigga selfish (Why's that?)

But you gotta be selfish if you know what self is (That's a fact)

I played God's cards when his hand dealt it (Yeah)

But I've seen all that hell gets (Yeah)

Gotta live while you can and then die when you can't help it (Talk to 'em)

[Verse 2: Ransom]

No, they not like Ran, I don't tow the line

I'm so refined that those who denied me see no decline

Too slow to grind, now niggas gotta watch me to know the time

Just know that I'm (Me) a step ahead of these niggas who chose to rhyme

I flow sublime (Muah) I wash my money with the loads of crimes

Professional (Yeah) ex-felon, never weighin' the pros and cons

I told my mom before dementia set in I was supposed to shine

She rolled her eyes and said, "I don't see that, son" and then closed the blinds (Ah)

I’m right where I'm supposed to be (Yeah) hopefully

And the ones who really know it's me denied that they ever noticed me (Why?)

Supposedly, I don't agree (Okay)

'Cause not nan one of y'all niggas cold as me

Was taught the game by the older G's and still I got no degrees (Cold)

Damn, no time for bein' biased with respect (Nah)

It'll be the realest of niggas that wear a wire on their chest (Ah)

Put fire to your flesh (Frrr)

Your life is not a movie when you tell on your gang

And just couldn't stay quiet on the set

[Chorus: Ransom]

Why they callin' a nigga selfish?

Champagne on the jet, linguini made to be fresh

Duck breast and assorted shell fish (Muah)

I know them haters felt it (Yeah) surprised I ran, dealt it

You gotta live while you can and then die when you can't help it (Ah)

They call a nigga selfish (Why’s that?)

But you gotta be selfish if you know what self is (That’s a fact)

I played God's cards when his hand dealt it (Yeah)

But I've seen all that hell gets (Yeah)

Gotta live while you can and then die when you can't help it
