I been going hard since the morning
Mama keep on asking where I'm going
I can't tell you where I'm going right now
But anywhere I go, I'll shut the lights out
I been going hard since the morning
Mama keep on asking where I'm going
I can't tell you where I'm going right

I ain't stopping til I'm dead dog
If you think I'm stopping, then you dead wrong

Kept it real
Gotta be better than someone still
Gotta keep her in love or someone will
These some big shoes to fill like Uncle Phil
 
Might start my show in pajama clothes
Gorilla zone like Mighty Joe
Connecting the dots like Dominoes
Life is on Andale Vamonos

Compared to the greats I'm kinda close
This Norman Bates, that psycho flow
Round and around the cycle goes
I'm likely to always be likeable 

Come in the place, a lot of hoesd 
Get the f*ck out my face, I gotta go
The pain that I live is hard to show
Gotta walk in the streets in armor clothes

Ain't too proud to beg nigga
Son of Odin, no Greg nigga
One more time you sleeping on me
Hope you dead in the bed nigga

I didn't hear what you said nigga
'Cause I left your text on read nigga
Eyes open to the feds nigga
Walk on thin ice, Wayne Gretz nigga

Go ahead and cut the check nigga
Too much on my debts nigga
Ticky toc on my wrist nigga
Love everyone except this nigga

You get what you get nigga
This a real nigga flick nigga
If God is calling my name in morning
Oh man this is it nigga 

How many times have I walked in a place and the cops was looking me down
Probably could hand him criminal, turning too pivotal, how did I end on the ground
Touching my balls so physical, like a physical 
This is part of the job, but is it thouGh
Make me sick til I'm green like Piccolo

I feel like American Gigalo
Breathing these negative chemicals
Get the f*ck off of my genitals, Still living my life a millennial 
At this point in my life, it's critical, it's critical
Fucking them all, y'all want me to rise and want me to fall
Some of those lies, are seen in your eyes, im setting it off And screaming 

In the city, I'm way up, you know I'm down
Even in the Himilayas, I run my town
Capriccio to the head, you know I'm never scared
Its the old bomblacot
I don't f*ck with y'all 
I don't f*ck with y'all
I don't f*ck with y'all
I don't f*ck with y'all
I don't f*ck with y'all
I don't f*ck with y'all
I don't f*ck with y'all
It's the old bomblacot, I don't f*ck with y'all

Imagination always fascinating, I'm glad you waited til I navigated 
Qualified for a lot of ladies, do a lot of numbers like the yellow pages
8, 32, I just copped a coupe
Walking paper like I'm Groot
Aim to kill, not to shoot

I, think that you acting tough, i think that you think I'm not black enough
I think that you think that I think that you think I won't just finish this up and won't wrap it up
I'll end up acting up, all of you niggas are stuck in the back of us, practice make perfect
I never come practice much 
I never will snitch and I'll back it up, if you got beef then my weapon is pack a punch

I'm hard to please like Gordon Ramsey
Raindrops that's full of candy 
I hope my ex won't ever stand me
Cause she stand under til she understand me 

Heart out like Virgin Mary
Theres a God in me, like Mary Mary
There's a bitch in you like Tyler Perry
I been loyal like Al Neri

Muthafucka that could f*ck a cougar
Screaming hallelujah when I sock it to you 
Fitted shorts and fanny pack, bring your granny memories way back
Back back back back it up, it's funny now y'all can laugh it up
They telling me milk all the things in the past, You know that I'm mixing this Captain crunch  

In the city, I'm way up, you know I'm down
Even in the Himilayas, I run my town
Capriccio to the head, you know I'm never scared
Its the old bomblacot
I don't f*ck with y'all 
I don't f*ck with y'all
I don't f*ck with y'all
I don't f*ck with y'all
I don't f*ck with y'all
I don't f*ck with y'all
I don't f*ck with y'all
It's the old bomblacot, I don't f*ck with y'all

I don't f*ck with y'all 
I don't f*ck with y'all
I don't f*ck with y'all
I don't f*ck with y'all
I don't f*ck with y'all
I don't f*ck with y'all
I don't f*ck with y'all
It's the old bomblacot, I don't f*ck with y'all 

I been going hard since the morning
Mama keep on asking where I'm going
I can't tell you where I'm going right now
