Flashbacks of a youngin' sipping that purple Kool Aid
C
Skipping school with my homies and chiefing reefer for two days

Running from the law, living how I'm living, fuck 'em all

Bumping Triple Six

Hennessy in my cup, driving through the sticks
C
Who the bitch riding with me?
C
Man, the devil tryna get me
C
Motivated, under-educated, and hated
C
But finally getting cake like a happy belated
C
Bitch I made it, we on
C
Buy it, break it, roll it, light it, smoke it, inhale it
C
Write it, record it, mix it, master it, press it up, unveil it
C
Feel like I've been waiting forever, forever to inherit
C
This is war, I declare it
C
Time is money, I can't spare it
C
Futuristic, so simplistic
C
Please decipher my linguistics
C
Slow it down, Robitussin
C
I'm the king, ain't no discussion
C
And now we blowing up like spontaneous human combustion
C
My consumption is the illest
C
Section eight, I know you feel this
C
On the come up, where they run up on you for nothing at all
C
Brighter than eleven suns, this the first, where my funds?
C
EBT, that's the card
C
I thank God, I thank God, but it's hard, but it's hard

                  A                                   D
I don't owe you a fucking thing, you best switch your behavior
                 F                          A#
Truly remarkable how I barely know you, but somehow owe you

                     F                             A#
How my mama, how she doing, does she know what I'm pursuing?
                       D
I ain't talk to her in years, that relationship she ruined
                C                                A#
But sometimes I wake up and wonder just what the fuck I'm doing
                A                           D
They say family is everything, I swear that shit the truth
                  F                              A#

        A                                       D
This is everything I love, this is everything I need
