Can’t stand all the jealousy
People actin' nice, but they usin' me
I’m always thinkin' twice when they ask for things
They always acting friendly but in secrecy
I know that they
Cant stand all my victories
People want my life, or so they think
They want fast cars and expensive drinks
They want me to drop the ball like it’s New Years Eve
Yeah
Can’t stand all the jealousy
People actin' nice, but they usin' me
I’m always thinkin' twice when they ask for things
They always acting friendly but in secrecy
I know that they
Cant stand all my victories
People want my life, or so they think
They want fast cars and expensive drinks
They want me to drop the ball like it’s New Years Eve
I wake up every morning and I always thank the Lord
Because life ain’t guaranteed, then I head right out the door
I’m pullin' out the coupe, I’m seein' cameras flash
I’m ignoring every question that the paparazzi ask
I make moves, I make money, that’s on God, that’s how it is
You tend to learn when you grow up with people callin' you "broke kid"
But these people see a person who just talks into a mic
And they think that shit is simple and I guess that’s by design
Cause I like to move in silence and you gotta keep it quiet
But these people never do that they all yelling like a riot
And they tellin' us their plans like it’s supposed to be surprising
But they never follow through because they never have the drive in-
side their hearts inside their minds
I pushed through a thousand times
Swear they never see the grind
They only tryna get what’s mine
Prayin' for my fast decline
But they never take the time
To put in work and make a dime
That’s why they’ll never feel alive
I love to feel the love but I know that some is fake
I keep my circle small because the world is full of snakes
And to every single person who might have something to say
I might wait until you’re dead and I might piss all on your grave
Yeah
Make way, I said make way
Cause I’ve been on a come up and I think today’s the day
I been getting bills and they’re bluer than a lake
I been making headlines like I’m Drizzy, like I’m Drake
I might take a private plane
And land right in L.A.
Just to go and party
But I do not plan to stay
This that kinda life that they wish that I would hate
Just because they spite me for getting what I’m paid
I don't pay attention cause it’s never worth my time
I stay away from hatred cause it messes with my mind
I’m the quickest one to jump when opportunities arise
People say they jealous I just tell 'em get in line
Cause I
Can’t stand all the jealousy
People actin' nice, but they usin' me
I’m always thinkin' twice when they ask for things
They always acting friendly but in secrecy
I know that they
Cant stand all my victories
People want my life, or so they think
They want fast cars and expensive drinks
They want me to drop the ball like it’s New Years Eve
I don't ever care
Comments never make me scared
I’m making magic call me Blair
I’m the Prince without Bel Air
I’m a dog they say "beware" yeah
They talking bout my hair yeah
They judging what I wear yeah
They make it feel unfair
I’m an artist, that’s no lie
I just speak what’s on my mind, yeah
They can criticize
But they’ll never take my pride
And I know that they cant stand the way that I live life
Cause all they’ll ever be is scum of earth until they die and I
Can’t stand all the jealousy
People actin' nice, but they usin' me
I’m always thinkin' twice when they ask for things
They always acting friendly but in secrecy
I know that they
Cant stand all my victories
People want my life, or so they think
They want fast cars and expensive drinks
They want me to drop the ball like it’s New Years Eve
Yeah
