I said hol′ up

Why when success becomes the motive

They always try to take over?Like there ain't no space for us on Earth

So we look over our shoulders

And move around just like some soldiers

Cuz they don′t want us to get older

We ride thru life like roller coasters

We gone make shit shake and pop like soda

Pass it to the left

Takin' hits I'm surprised still I got any breath for the shit

Rest of the money was spent on the gas for the whip

Roll the gas up and dip flip the cash from the rent light a

Match for the wittiness to hash out all my pityness

That I don′t have no business having nowhere a nigga been

Cuz we could have a dream

To be a king and our life will be wished death upon many men

All over 2 quarters, no 50 cent

But it′s really bout the power they be tryna use to control us

Been rooted since they sold us

And told us we was only 2/3rds funny how

Now it be taking more than one of them to commit a murder

Our people always hurtin'

So I′ll be damned if I couldn't hide the pain in all of the pockets of this Birkin

While doin′ all this workin' cookin′ servin em up the recipe

With the best of me, can certainly be encompassed in a lifetime

I'm tryna be a millionaire with no lifelines

Nobody picking up hopefully it ain't my demise

Cuz now ain′t nothin else ringing except my own advice

Up in my head, living rent free

I guess I paid the owning price ahead of the fees

The motive of the hunger struggle to stay in the feed of the media

Unless it come with some chains or gains to receive a cut

They want us addicted to greed and drugs

It get less and less about spreadin′ love

It don't matter you got it out the mud

Long as they respect the set that you throwin′ up

So roll it up one time, for my niggas tryna get it gotta get it as this trouble erupts

2 times for the homie with the Rollie double checkin' it to make sure the diamonds enough

Keep it going never settle for cheaper homie

Got them demons on me tryna creep up knowing

They defeat approaching

When I speed up I'm closing in on these wins

Gotta watch how I'm posting in these threads

Time it be of the essence cuz that shit′ll go Tiktok

And the next thing you know someone else trending off what you did

That appropriation

Another excuse for a stolen nation

Because there is a lack of communication with no signs of compensation

Wondering why we grow with so much hatred I

Cannot resort to no basic shit, I

Cannot become these folks slave for shit, I

Cannot be playing no games with this, I

Cannot turn into no crazy bitch, I′m

(Let that shit breathe)

Done being humble sit down not this La'Marr

(Hold up, hold up)

Don′t need they okays for reassurance

(No no no no no no)

Our knowledge is truly what can lead these wars on

(Lead em on lead em on)

It's our call of duty put em in the gulag

We shootin our shot get yo shoes on

We sick of the stories and blues songs

Gone make Illinois on our Sufjan

Bet that′ll make em turn the news on

Its one, 2 3 in the seat,

Like Mike let 6 of em ring in the street

Don't let that 4 5 come by seeking the heat and make magic happen

We won′t ever sleep
