Never thought I'd be talking from this perspective
But I'm not really sure what
else you expected
When the higher- ups have all come
together as a collective
With conspiracies to end my run and
send me a message
40, Did you get the message?
Cause I just checked
my phone and I didn't get it
I mean, I say hats off for a solid effort
But we didn't flinch for a second,
we got our shit together
Yeah, not here to fight wars
But niggas wanna talk high scores
Party just dipped off in a white
Porsche
And I just came from dinner where I ate
some well done seared scallops
That were to die for
But I got bigger fish to fry
I'm talking bigger shit than you and I
Kids'll lose their lives,
got me scared of losing mine
And if I hold my tongue
about it, I get crucified
Wrote this shit on a bumpy
flight on a summer night
Flying over Chattanooga,
out here trying to spread the movement
I just got me the
Mercedes Pullman
You niggas never heard of
it, you gotta hit up Google
Back in the city,
shit is getting brutal
These kids'll hit your noodle then take a
girl to the movies
They've been dropping
out on both sides
We ain't in it, we just ghost ride
The pen is working if you niggas
need some ghost lines
I thought you wanted yours
like I want mine
I guess you just making
moves on your own time
But just know it'll be January
in no time
And your absence is very concerning
It's like you went on vacation
with no plan of returning
Shit is purely for sport,
I need it 30 for 30
Banners are ready in case we need
to retire your jersey
I got a club in the
Raptors arena
Championships,
celebrations during regular seasons
Paternity testing for women
that I never slept with
I'm legally obligated if they request it
So much legal action like
I'm Michael Jackson
Luckily, I'm great at avoiding distraction
Used to get no reaction,
now I'm overreacting
Ah nigga, that shit gotta go platinum
I just listened to Closer To My Dreams
Wide eyed and uneducated at 19
I can't rap like that, all young and naive
Not after all of the shit I've seen
and the things I believe
Drastically changing,
thank you for all your patience
I'm just in a different space and I
choose to embrace it
Four- thousand square feet just
isn't as spacious
You loved me back in the basement,
guess it is what we make it
I'm tired of awkward exchanges
and nigga's crooked ways
Tired of champagne toasts
with people that look away
Peyton and Eli when niggas called me
they brother the season start
And I don't wanna see you
end up with nothing
Y'all throw the word,
"Family" around too much in discussion
Rookie season,
I would've never thought this was coming
They knees give out and they
passing to you all of a sudden
Now you the one getting buckets
They put their arm around you, now
you becoming the crutches
Kids got on your number cause
you the one they look up to
And women that you seen on TV
look better in person
And either they wanna fuck
you or convince you
That they can to see where
it goes from there
But these ain't the girls from Brampton,
this ain't that local action
The haters just bringing me and
my people closer, actually
What happened to the things you niggas
said was supposed to happen?
Are we just supposed to ignore the
fact that it never happened?
We just supposed to get the pie
and then split it in two?
Supposed to forget your mistakes
but not forget about you?
My plan was always to make the
product jump off the shelf
And treat the money like secrets,
keep that shit to ourselves
Papi champú, young pablito de seis dios
6 G- O- D, I think I was destined for this shit
when I was 'round Keyshia Cole and T.I
And Young Dro was popping off,
well ain't I?
Way before niggas had they hands
out like they doing macarena
But who am I to complain now, I'm still around,
