Alright, uh

Bitch, I ain't early, I say, "'Bout time
" uh shit, I run uphill in my downtime, uh
Y'all spendin' all day swattin'
House flies? Uh
That let me know that y'all not outside, oh
Who really outside? It's all
About the approach, uh

I been wantin' smoke when my
Auntie was on dope
Got a bed that's full of bodies
Got a closet full of ghosts, mm
Yeah, I'm cool with rappers
Niggas actin' like we close
Shit, I'm the greatest on the coast and
Niggas thought I knew the Pope, mm
Blessed me with the hands that's
Catchin' all these niggas' fans, uh
'Posed to be your mans, damn
My nigga, you got scammed, uh
Funny that I'm standin' with the
Dude who made Stan but never treat me like a
Fan, 'cause what I am, what I am
Whatever you say I am, shit
If I was interesting
Why would I say I am? Shit, and the
The radio don't even play my jam
I give no damn, I'm in Bompton with the fam'

You say, "It's early, " I say "'Bout time
" uh i kill these niggas in my downtime, uh
(Right)
They spendin' all day swattin' house flies
(Badmon) with couch time that let me
Know that they not outside (Yes)
Oh, who really outside? It's
All about the approach, uh
(Woo)

Make it this far
Gotta keep a couple scopes on me (Uh)
Bitch, I'm not a star, I stuff
The chopper in my coat, homie
(Uh) they know who we are
They just think that we don't know
Reach your hand up in this fire
See if you don't get roast, homie
Eight years later, nigga, I deserve to boast
(yeah)
Still burnin' bread, nigga, I deserve a toast
(Clink, Right)
Champagne spillin', big pimpin' off the coast
(Right) with my pocket full of knots, I
Could show you these ropes, uh
E'erybody smilin' 'round me, I
Ain't said no jokes, uh
On the block, sporty, Glock 40 in the tote
Uh (yeah)
Said they're best friends, f*ck it
I'ma need both (Uh)
But she let me paint her face (Right)
I'm like Picasso with the stroke (Uh, huh)
Sleepin' with the king and
She gotta stay woke (Woo)
If we ain't in the same boat
Then that bitch afloat (Woo)
I'm stylin' in the drop like
A nigga slang dope
Eyes wide when I'm outside
Ready for the smoke (Uh)
Like I ain't takin' tokes
I could put you on game
I just hope you takin' notes
Bitch, I had the fame way
Before I learned to cope
Put respect up on my name
I'm surrounded by the GOATs

You say, "It's early, " I say "'Bout time
" uh i kill these niggas in my downtime, uh
They spendin' all day swattin' house flies
With couch time that let me
Know that they not outside
Oh, who really outside? It's
All about the approach

Know it's all 'bout the finish
I think I'm bein' too timid
I think I need to get with it
I think the reason I'm missing
'cause I been lackin' precision
I think the credit they owe me
Should never come with a limit
I'm the best rapper that, wait
I'm the best rapper alive
I'm talkin' niggas that's in it
I'm talkin' niggas retired
I'm talkin' niggas that's comin'
I'm talkin' niggas that's tried
I'm talkin' niggas that died
I'm talkin' all 'em combined
Man, I been fightin' with a lotta shit
Fightin' with myself 'cause I
Been fightin' my environment
Fightin' with my friends 'cause they
Been fightin' with entitlement
Tryna get inspired
You niggas ain't been no help
Got me competin' with myself
If I break these mental walls
Then I get through to my brain
If I keep smokin' this tree
I find the root of my pain
Shit, if I make it through the
Flame with no burnt skin, uh
While I'm standin' in the ash
Know I earnt this
I learned that y'all niggas
Ain't really outside
