Should′ve never gave them niggas no money

We was in the store be we ain't want nothing cuz

We was broke now a Nigga ain′t frontin no more

Should've never gave them niggas no money

We was in the store be we ain't want nothing

Cuz we was po′ now a Nigga ain′t frontin no more

My mentalities a tapestry ain't it if I can paint it

It′d be too heavy to hang it from the nail in the wall

Dangerously dangling

Sick with the languages speaking pangolin down at the animal mall

He who answered the call the most cancelled rapper

Who rappin never happened to fall

Wanna subdue Lu like Max Verstappen

Take him off the track and lap him I see the devil clapping his claws

But this what happens after applause

If rappin was Blacked call this rappin from the back of a broad

This style of rappin is called pattern and pause

Still a one-man class action trapped in his cause

I'm a different type of Nigga fulfilled

Say the word Nigga is a trigger so chill

I′m like why keep Nigga concealed

It's white people still using the word Nigger for real

Never ignorant genuine genius appeals sincerely hearing it thrills

I′m from a lyrical miracle biblical guild

A great white clearing his gills the nearest mirror of skill

Somewhere between jazz, Jigga and drill

Minus all the niggas it kills

Right before they finish they wills

A healthy menace told the dentist

I eat Splenda, spinach and pills for life

Playing Ur with David Blaine on a commercial flight

First class rolling the dice

This for my chain

All donations are appreciated

I put the pen down but the location was abbreviated

To briefly state it that's briefly stayed with we still apart

But the split was so congenial it's like divorces was mediated

Drifted the genetics till it speciated

Put variables in my data set and then I deviated

It′s miracles in the data set it′s like dba as TD Jakes without a cpa

I used to CTA it Ferrari from that Harvey from this car seat

Can't believe he made it

Target hated felling like a Star of David where they GDK it

Independent thinker

I should CD Babe it feet covered in Tinkers

Promise to self no longer reference the Matrix

And stay away from fake shit

Cuz in a flash they′ll turn on the click just like blinkers

These and other hazards are just part of the work

Reverse Aztec put my heart in a verse

The one man half Dash, Carter & Burke

Rock-a-fella y'all

Impediments, and the random egotistical elephant in the room

Looking for something heaven sent

Like its medicine in the moon

Or intelligence in the heaviness of a tune

How much ya song weigh?

30 pounds for every entendre

So the playlist will still be heavy as a spaceship on a spaceship

Even though its weightless

A bar full of plates so a waitress weighlifts

With every single entree

Contray to what the pawn say, swan slay with every convey

If words were rocks, birds in flocks

Stop that′s not the chess of the experts

That's a straight rookie move

To get close to dos I feed em bread first

Jaded so denigrated and inundated

With every image that I was finished and in a status of ending stages

So I insulated into pages liberated my inner sages

Now the minutes from the meetings of my mind with my mind

Look a minister mixed Dennis the menace made it

Baited, beat it baked it and ate it

Graciously my engineer saved the most sacred of it in avid, moor

I can sell money to the poor

A pyramid to a mummy they even have to pay attention when they ignore

My compulsive indecision made addition into a chore

Is 2 + 2 Just 2 Two′s Or is it 4

If I got a calculator what's the point of even keeping score

But that's not allowed when you tested

So I added it all up

They just trying to slow us down like instruments in texas

All proceeds to my necklace

Rock-a-fella y′all

Rock-a-fella y′all

Should've never gave them niggas no money

We was in the store be we ain′t want nothing

Cuz we was broke now a Nigga ain't frontin no more

Should′ve never gave them niggas no money

We was in the store be we ain't want nothing

Cuz we was po′ now a Nigga ain't frontin no more
